rob i could not beleve it myself,chris hoffmiester rode the same line on his gasgas and scored a 1. even some of the checkers were talking about it being unfair riding the swm....
just rode a modern indoor trials. it had the normal stuff to ride on cars ,semi trailers,large tires ,and 2to 3 feet tall logs at all angles. finished with a score of 3,,a few of the same line riders called my bike a "cheater bike". what did i ride? 1981 280 swm..the only bulls ther were shercos...
bultaco was opened in what1967 ended in 1982..was that 15 years to win 5 times.....swm started in what 1978 ..ended in 1983..thats 6 years to win after the bikes got awhole lot better...can`t see how a bultaco is the best...mybe it`s me...johnnyb
the only perfect parts on a bultaco is the betor forks,i rode a 199a and a199b.lots of lowend power but not much rev,weird turning and both bikes were overly heavy
short of a "works bike" i just love my 82 280 swm or my 81 280 with a 82 betor front end. lite weight lots of power and it turns or floats great. the honda`s are ok but don`t have the punch i like....johnnyb..let`s open the can of worms...
just a quick note ,the stock swm front brake wet or dry is able to do stoppies and for power the 280 pulls me anywhere and i ride expert and weigh 250 pounds
sorry,computer skills suck ,i ride a whole lot better. i ride on the east coast of the usa. we have a series called mavt.cool wedsite at mavt.org.,lots of twinshock pics. wondering how the riding compares to what you ride overthere? johnnyb
