  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. On one of the overflows i imagine, bottom of float bowl, or side of the carb body Got this pic from another thread
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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??

    Premix Oil

    After seeing the betas in sheffield they sure aren't on 80 or 100:1 ?

    Premix Oil

    Did they give you legitimate reasons for runner those ratios? Most don't!

    Premix Oil

    Can you please explain your rationale for going against the manufacturers recommendations and going leaner? I hope you aren't another sheep
  10. 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
  11. 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 ???
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. 6 litre cans are a popular size. Not as common as 5, but pretty common nonetheless

    Helmet fit?

    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

    Helmet fit?

    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.

    Oil?

    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
  18. Obviously not that obvious
  19. Sorry lol. Theres no doubt a 125 will be safer to ride, but if you have ridden bikes before and are eager to progress quickly, you may quickly outgrow the 125. If you live in a place with lots of hills and are the type of guy who likes to blast up and down hills don't bother with the 125
  20. You're definitely the exception then. 99% of 125s ridden where I'm from are either by youths, oaps, or women. Everyone else is on 250s or 300s
  21. Are you really saying a 250 is easier stalled than a 125? Go into any dealer and its filled with second hand 125s and 300s that they cant get rid of
  22. 250 gg, the 125 is for people who are likely to kill themselves when they open the throttle. If you've ridden bikes before, this isn't you, and at 35 you will soon get bored of the extra work needed to get the same level of fun from it Is that why you are still a novice?? Hence don't get a 125, nothing easier stalled than a 125, A 250 has much much better resale value! The most in demand used bike there is
  23. Im usually a 10 in the uk and 45s fit me perfect, which are basically 10.5. If you plan to wear thicker socks than you would with a pair of shoes then id definitely allow for some room
