  1. Hi Frank,

    I remember you visiting in 1984 and coming to the house.

    The painting is still hanging in the same place.

    Many thanks for the message of condolences and happy memories of my dad.

    I will let my mum know.

    Steve Cooper.

  2. If anyone knows where there is a Cooper Bantam tucked away in a corner or is available please let me know. I would like to get hold of one of my dad bikes even if just the frame to build up. It would be a nice memory to have and use.

    Cheers Steve

  4. Hi all,

    Have a 250 replica james I have recently finished. The only problem is the carb. I have it on a MK1 amal 24mm, 20 pilot, 130 main and 105 needle with the clip in the top notch. The slide is a brass one and is a 3. Whilst it was fine at the previous trial it ran really rich on Saturday and cost me marks. The carb is a nearly new one so don't think there are any issues there.

    I am open to ideas as know they can be a bit funny on carburation. Thinking of a dellorto as they are faily cheap on e-bay.

    Any views welcome.

    Cheers Steve

  5. Hi All,

    Dragged my dad's RTL250 out the garage. Its been sat there several years and shows it!!! Its been done in Rothman's colours and has a home mades front disc conversion on it. Hopefully all the bits are there to turn it back to standard.

    Looking to get it up and running so it can be used. Rather spend the money on that than aquiring another twinshock!!!.

    Looking for any help and advice on spares, restoring, paintjob's etc before I launch into it. Had a Seeley Long long ago before went down the mono yam route then had a rest from trials for too long but getting into it again now.

    Cheers Steve.

  6. Hi Folk's

    Looking to get a couple of air boxes made for the trials bikes, greeves and james, to help with the breathing etc.

    Anyone got any contacts for people who do this provide kits etc.

    Cheers Steve.

  7. Thanks Woody. You mean like this one !!

    Golner 250

    Maybe the mist of time has clouded my memories as thought he did some twinshocks too. I thought I saw one at the scarborough two day trial but it may have been a tlr with a one piece tank and seat unit. It did sound nice as well as go well.

    Cheers.

  8. Hi all,

    Am getting back into trials riding after more than a few years off. Had a honda Seeley before several Yam mono's. Would really like a fourstroke again and twinshock for best of all options. Always thought the Golner honda's looked the buisness but could not afford one back then. Are they increadably rare and am I dreaming or can anyone point me in the direction of one.

    Cheers Steve.
