Good luck finding a rear mudguard! That style was only used for 2 years

Delay in Spain used to show pistons on his website, but be sitting before you look at the price!

Not unless they have been stripped

I know a chap in SoCal owned around 6 of them!

Used bikes are quite a bit more expensive and thinner on the ground in the USA than here, Nebulous. What I would be more wary of is if it was a "proper" TLR or a Reflex

200-220cc

Moto Merlin near Horsham

Don't get confused with 4 stroke terms, there is no sump oil, only gearbox/clutch oil. The mains and big end get their lube from the petrol/oil miix, aside from clutch side main which is lubed by gearbox oil.

If you're on a budget take a look at the Wulf gear. Very reasonably priced. I after something a bit more fancy have a look on e-bay, I bought a brand new Airoh TRR carbon fibre helmet for almost half the retail price as it was last years colours!

Mine used to idle at around 1200 so never had that problem, mind you I had the factory exhaust

Look on the South Eastern Centre website, there is a list of clubs and events shown there. There is also a new North Kent Trials website, but is very new and still under construction

Speak to Robin at In Motion

North Hants do 3 at Crondall Woods near Fleet

Try Matt at Speed & Sport in No Cal

Wonder how that would work with a electric bike

Vinnie, where are you collecting it from? I can whip over in the motor with bike rack

Vinnie, there is a Thames club trial at Hookwoods this Sunday BTW.

Richard Allen may have one as he breaks lots of trials bikes

I used Castrol fully synthetic stuff in my at around 60-65/1. Use they same in my 305

I see you live not a million miles from me. I am curious as to the practice ground you allude to? Only a couple spring to mind (Farnborough & Horsley). Fuel capacity of a trials bike would be one concern, also tyres as you already say. Not to mention wear & tear on the bike as they are not known for their top speed let alone the uncomfortable seating position. Back in the 70s I remember one young lad that used his bike as a sole means of transport and also rode it to and from events! Needless to say the mechanicals didn't last too long.

Just sold my brand new Sidis as I couldn't get my foot in them ! Bought the same size as my old Forma ones but they came up much smaller.

Tranny (big hose) vents to atmosphere

500cc's same as the others I would imagine and I use Putoline light gear oil. My 305 has a section bottom end with a 305 barrel = aircooled with hydraulic clutch!
