Most of my gear is Wulfsport I have found it to be well made and does the job great so far i have Boots Winter gloves (summer gloves aren't Wulfsport) Jacket trousers

When I got my Beamish in April it had a new pair of MT43s. To be fair at my level, "Beginner" they seem fine, I haven't had any issues with grip, but then I don't have any experience of other brands. They will do me for now. If the bike had needed new tyres when I got it, I wouldn't have necessarily gone for the Mt43s though

Until the points wear. I meant with this new setup, once set, its set for life, as it has no touching parts to wear out, only a failure of a component would require anything being changed.

Fitted some new brake shoes today on the Beamish While it was apart I moved the brake arm to where its meant to be, it had been in the wrong place since I bought the bike back in April. even without bedding the new shoes in, its feeling a lot better than before. Only one spline out but makes a difference How it was how it set now (there is even a mark on the cam to show where its meant to be)

Interesting read. I like the bit were it says they changed the needle position and mains jets, so many people forget about doing this with there old 70s n 80s bikes, when they start running at 50:1 or 60:1 when the manufactures jetted it for say 20:1. Its going to run rich on the fuel/air In the case of my Beamish Suzuki's 20:1, you now start running it at 50:1 or higher, it runs to rich on the fuel/air. I fitted a better flowing 2 stage filter on mine and opened the airbox a little more to get the fuel/air mix right. She is running great and carbaration is just about spot on, very crisp and just pulls clean though the revs. Had a go on a Beamish that was running around 70:1 with the stock jetting airbox etc and it was terrible was bogging down and wouldn't pull clean though the revs and was hard work to ride.

looks a great day out

Never got a reply from the 3 emails sent them.

Aldi do so good bike gear also, i have some of there base layerstuff and it really help to keep the wind chill away, when out on my road bike

pity its about 80miles from me. just a little to far to drive on a Sunday morning lol

I have the Black ones, but haven't used them yet, took them as spares in case it was cold last time I went out but didn't need them. Good to know they are nice and warm In grey size L £15.95. have used this guy a few times and its always been fast postage. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wulfsport-Neoprene-Waterproof-Adults-MX-Motocross-Bike-Casual-Insulated-Gloves-/291936189806?var=&hash=item43f8c0bd6e:m:mXDjvu8847Tg31Sxo6ZOIJw

Yeah , once set , you can forget about it and I'm sure like most others, the bike will run better on it.

Really enjoyed the day, its a great venue and it was the easiest one to find, for someone that's never been before. pity my back was to bad to ride

Welcome Jason

How would you do it ? an extra head gasket on a watercooled bike is risky, one more place for a leak to start As said low compression head only real option

The Beamish is getting a lot of use , now i have a practice ground, i have even done my first trial(which i won my class)

Its going to be a case off job, everything is inside there. its not catching anywhere is it ? I had the same problem with my Beamish Suzuki, it turned out to be the wrong size washer on the bolt that was catching on the frame

Sadly my back gave out Sunday morning as I was getting my stuff together to go ride the event , so I could only go and take pictures, the back is worse today, so no riding this weekend by the look of it. link to the video's I recorded yesterday https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz3viLD8efZluqqde98Goz_y0puzwsN84

It didn't work, my back went even worse today and I'm now going to need to see the Doc

These Wolfsport boots have been great, used them 7-8 times now and you cant tell your wearing them, even after 5-6 hours out on the bike. really comfy from day 1

I recorded these on sunday at Bracken rock, its just off the A6 near whatstandwell on the way to Matlock from Derby https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz3viLD8efZluqqde98Goz_y0puzwsN84

I was meant to be riding the Beamish there, but hurt my back and didn't want to risk making it worse

I'm the same age as you and have never done any form of motorsport. I had always like trials as a kid in the 70s and the very first bike I rode at 11 was a mates OSSA 250 mar. earlier this year(April), I decided I wouldn't mind having a go, so got myself a Beamish Suzuki 250. Did my first ever trial in September and won my class. There seem to be a good few 70s twinshocks about at really good prices £800-£1500 I say go for it, see if you can find some ground to practice on, after a few months of looking, I managed to find a place and haven't looked back. The classic trials scene is a very friendly place, with lots offering help and advice to new guys just starting out.
