on it

Nigel is RUN the same as RIDE ? Thanks for the spelling lesson NIGEL might not spell right but i understand them --- RUN as in club = put events or organize ( dont need to be a rider to be a organizer ) , AMATURE sport = a person engaged in sport for pleasure rather than monetary gain VOLUNTEER = work for a organization without being paid RIDER = is a person controlling movement of what they are in control of (some of the time !) PROFESSIONAL =engaged in a activity as one,s main paid occupation rather than as a amature So yet again where did i say club rider ? YAWN !

wake up nigel what is the topic about ? WTC i say again WTC and just to make sure for you WTC .WERE DO I SAY ANYTHING ABOUT CLUB RIDERS ??

Been thinking is the real problem the PROFESSIONAL/SPONSORED RIDER , Being able to train 100% of the time have they just simply out grown the sport of trials thus killing WTC along the way. and left a amature sport run by volunteers trying to play catch up to them remember they get the cash the sport dose not !

WTC problems are self inflicted Richk22 1,The top route is way to hard with very few that can actually ride it, (but the top boys dont want it eased as thats there advantage gone ) 2, problem observing or the very poor quality of it 3, sections 1 line (soon becomes very boring for the spectator ) 4, lack of consistency in the trials 5 lack of use of natural ground (well groomed sections) 6 multi class /multi route ( trying to make 3 or more sections out of 1 ) 7 more demanding for parc ferm than the sections 8 trying to pad the trial out with a qualifying speed section ( how about starting next trial in previous finishing order ) 9 FIM /promoter running trials for professional teams and riders cost (but relying amature volunteers) 10 lack of entrys ( see all above ) you gotta ask your self who is going to spectate WTC a trials rider or joe public passing by ? if trials riders are turning there back on WTC as its got NO relevance to trials , a extra course /class ant going to fix it !

Why do people think a extra course or class is the holy grail in fixing trials problems.

try to keep up nigel ! the topic is BTC ! not WTC and as i say the standard has dropped is this due to no grading systems in place ? rides made out to be better than they really are, also runs before they start BTC

Yes bikes have got better over the years .BUT sorry the standard of ridding has fallen Very few riders even at world round can get the most out of the bike, the problem is not the bikes its the sections too tight and technical for non stop ,but with hop and stop no turn will be too tight next gripe will be the sections are too long for the time limit ! Ive been watching BTC on y tube and i can see fully why they have gone stop allowed, turns far to tight so most are ridden stop and hop the rule change all this is doing is playing into the top riders hands as they can hop around easy now ,so its giving them more of a advantage Is the only change needed is give the observer a score card and do away with punch cards only he/ she knows whats score is given with no fear of aggro from riders /minders like now with punch cards

I can remember first time around stop allowed it about killed trials off Sections were mad so tight if riders could not hop the bikes about or reverse , just gave the sport up and entrys dropped off . Wonder how long before the cry comes we want to keep the no stop sections marked out but ride them stop allowed much they way they do now ! and not made mega tight and technical The problem is you can have any set of rules you want but if there not applied 100% it turns into a farce, Problem is with trials its what the observer sees at the time, and that should be the end of it !!! no youtube experts giving there 1p worth So will all clubs be going TSR22A so riders can practice there skills ?

Hi gone through all this with mine------ check leads on coil clean also check earth leads they do black with contamination. i have also found spark plugs are varnishing up with fuel & they do like new plugs you can always screw air screw out to give more air if that works could be time to remove ecu and give it a clean over oiling the air filter will not help with starting you dont say if bad to start all time or just when hot if hot would say check valves hope this might help

How will that help the WTC , getting into the wtc is hard enough for younger riders to get rides, As for riders dropping down to wt2 well that is a good thing, This gives the younger riders a level to get too, dont beat them riders you wont be making it in WTC Fact= trials is a AMATURE sport run for WTC professionals top riders dont want sections changed so everyone can do them we are talking about there living , Time to face the facts trials is NOT a big enough sport to fund professionals

if you want to stop dust entering the air box i used a pair of woman tights cut down over air box inlet as a pre filter

what it is im doing a electric bike but who says the bike is eligible to use , if unsafe i wont be riding it ! and why i ask seen it happen with J Bliss pit bike so before ii gets to far I want the facts

i build a new bike = dose frame and bike need to be homologated or safety checked like a kit car check to compete in a acu event for insurance purpose or will i just be covered when i enter a trial with it

Theres no need to worry about the dust and mud in the box it is not a airbox as such , the box is before the filter, =the filter is on the out let of the box so whats in the box has not been filtered yet

The only thing to prosper in pre 65 is the people making the trick parts/frames that is a must have !

Has the observer problem came about because clubs put so many classes and courses on giving more people a chance to ride ? when this was not the case people that could not ride observed

The facts are WTC is gone to a level that dose not reflect normal trials, its turned into a circus act , I dont ride them so why do i care ? like most other trials riders i only worry what the clubs that i ride do

will it be a pit bike engine/replica frame and passed of as s90 honda replica ?

Lots of talk of changing tyres /bikes why ? why not just ban minders full stop ! if the riders have to go up sections with no minders to catch them or the bikes ,The riders will soon call for the sections to be backed off .

Has it become a secret society due to trials riders fear losing land ? as for the bikes when the cost of a new trials bike is more than a new car it is a wonder any bikes get sold Like it or not trials is a very specialized sport so you really have to be interested to get into the sport if your that interested youll find it

Use the number only on entry form acu card MUST be showed simple . Should be done now but its not

Why do we need to put name and address on entry form ? the ACU have your details for insurance purpose from you getting acu card , So all you need to do is put bike , class ,sign and put acu number on entry form ,then GDPR is not that much of issue ?

daft as it sounds you havent left a rag in exhaust port now in exhaust or a rag in the inlet track

It would not prove anything .Even at club level the sport is at 2 levels riders that are 100% committed to trials and the other level are the play riders.

From wikipedia Motorcycle trials, also known as observed trials, is a non-speed event on specialized motorcycles. The sport is most popular in the United Kingdom and Spain, though there are participants around the globe. Modern trials motorcycles are distinctive in that they have evolved to become extremely lightweight, lack seating (they are designed to be ridden standing up) and have suspension travel that is short, relative to a motocross or enduro motorcycle. Motorcycle trials is often utilized by competitors in other motorcycle sports (such as motocross or road racers) as a way to cross-train, as trials requires fine throttle, balance, and machine control
