Lineaway, would be greatly appreciated if you could do that

Ha! yes heavy kgs I reckon

Have been searching and come up with nothing......... So, has anyone put a 4rt engine on the scales?

When is the Earl Shilton test day?

Many thanks for posting the video. It's rare to see anything at ESTC Great to see the return to the other side of the M69!

Can't say about the 5 year old bike but the 2014/15 250's have all the response off idle you could ever want. If anything the 300 feels slightly more mellow in pickup.

Did the usual google searches - nothing. So, has anybody put an ali barreled cub engine on the scales?

As a GG owner its useful to have a selection of steels, they are pretty cheap. Just fitted Surflex with 1.3 and 1.5mm - just the best clutch ever

Ah yes, the fun with scans. I recall one company that was recommended by a photo magazine that was so bad it was hilarious! I guess they must have chucked my negs on the office carpet before scanning to achieve such levels of dirt and dust. Another advantage of the digital age is the ability to print onto a vast range of beautiful fine art papers rather than being stuck with the very limited range of darkroom papers. That said, printing images is I suppose becoming old school ............

A very similar story for me. Landscape photography on 6 x 9 was my thing but the digital wins hands down. I tried a halfway house with scanned film and printing in Photoshop but found it impossible to buy in sufficiently high quality scans of the film. Also the cost of the (inadequate) scans was just silly. As Laird says the degree of manipulation and adjustability in the image and print making is joyous. Deeply frustrating wet processes like lith printing can be painlessly simulated in PS. I have always fancied getting back to some alternative processes but setting up a wet darkroom just isn't going to happen. A slight word of warning is that Photoshop is deeply addictive .............

It's my first trial at Earl Shilton on Sunday as well.... gulp! Weather forecast is nice and dry - should be good

Wow, what an excellent day!! This to say thanks to the good folk of ESTC The instructors Luke and Neil had boundless energy and enthusiasm. As a beginner and a wizened old dwarf I assumed I was letting myself in for a very humiliating day – but not so. Despite being the duffer of the easy route group I learnt loads – perhaps most importantly is the gain in confidence. Also, met some really nice folk – trials appears to full of nice folk doesn’t it It was wonderful value for money as well. For just 20 quid you got some of the best instruction in the UK on a great site – how good is that. Definitely coming back for more………

Interesting. My first key never did turn up. When a replacement key arrived the envelope was seriously torn over the area where the key was. Suspect that the P O sorting machine was causing some damage.

Thanks for that lineaway. Sanded the plates to give me 18mm - light and progressive now. Really surprised that these clutches are so sensitive to such small changes in pack thickness.

Thanks for that Gary, it's good to know Wednesdays are on.
