I was a bit wary when they did away with the std a couple of years back. Now the racing is the std model and the gp the new racing, except the racing is still the racing price and the gp is even more.
Next they will to do away with the racing and bring out a busto rep at 8k
-
Thats JS for you. Maybe we need to start going back to the old days of grey imports.
-
I really don't think manufacturers would allow their works riders ride a different brand of bike. Especially Honda letting their rider ride a Yamaha! And is there any point doing it if the best in the world aren't riding in it?
-
What would he ride though?
-
I don't know what annoys me more, him or the guy who calls fives, fiascos
If it does get selected... do you think we would see a big migration from the current series, including Bou, Raga etc? Who wouldn't want to win an olympic gold?
-
If it means Rob Warner will be commenting on it, i would nearly vote against it
-
I think you're saying this tongue in cheek, but in all seriousness, id vote for that as an "alternative arrangement". As was said above the british invented the sport, why not reinvent it and bring those jumping jorges back to earth ? The same old stuff does get a tad boring after a while.

Theres 3 pipes in the picture, main fuel pipe, float bowl overflow, then theres one cable tied to the main fuel feed inlet that exits just at the top of the pic
-
On one of the overflows i imagine, bottom of float bowl, or side of the carb body
Got this pic from another thread

Undercard events nonetheless. It was hard enough selling the world championship to councils/sponsors/media when the UK had an outright work champion.
The crowds we got at hawkstone around 2000 aren't coming back until another Doug comes along.
Or sheffield with colley and jarvis. Proper contenders. No offence to the others listed above
-
Are you actually serious?
-
We have to remember and accept, that Britain doesn't have any contenders to the world championship. Dougie attracted a lot of attention with media, sponsors and spectators to the British GP because he was winning and he was local. Local or even national media or sponsors just aren't interested the same if the top 6 are from spain. When a country has someone who's really on form, at the top and an odds on winner, the home round is always more of a success, whether its silverstone, wimbledon or the open.
-
I can't say I'm disappointed. Didnt look a great spot, but i suppose anywhere is better than nowhere.
Dare i say "the uncertainty" could have played a role??
-
After seeing the betas in sheffield they sure aren't on 80 or 100:1 ?
-
Did they give you legitimate reasons for runner those ratios? Most don't!
-
Can you please explain your rationale for going against the manufacturers recommendations and going leaner? I hope you aren't another sheep
-
Agreed, and great for the expert rider, but personally i feel they have too aggressive of an angle for the average clubman. Not saying the OP isn't handy enough himself though
-
s3 hard rock, steel or alloy
-
Because todays riders are a bunch of pot hunters. If they drop more than 10 marks they complain the trial was too difficult. They want to ride clean, keep their gear clean and take a 50p trophy back home to their wife. Theres a reason the bottom grades have the most entries. They don't make them the way they used to ???
-
You're the one who doubted a guys legitimacy in riding trials just because you didn't know 6 litre petrol cans existed! If that already went over your head, I have a feeling adding more would also
-
Whats price got to do with? They are made by numerous manufacturers and are a far superior can. You obviously have never used one seeing that you didn't even know they existed. They are rather common with the gardening and landscaping fraternity. Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.
-
6 litre cans are a popular size. Not as common as 5, but pretty common nonetheless
-
Just make sure it isn't too small and not fulling seating on your head i.e. there's a gap between the crown of your head and the helmet
-
I wear an ht2 and think it fits like any other trials helmet I've worn in the past, so i think its more your unusualness to trials helmets as opposed to anything different to the ht2.
-
Possibly too good for trials if that makes sense. Personally i prefer a thinner oil. But for the 927, id say around 70 to 80:1
