Toby Martyn
Grattarola came down from TrialGP and is staying to defend his Championship. Green comes in as 125 Champ, but if Gandola's experience is a guide, it's going to be a learning year for Billy. Martyn and Marcelli's chance again to rise to the top for the Championship and I'm guessing for Fuji's spot on Team HRC, when he decides to retire.

Build up to the Scott
How come Billy isn't riding Hixpania Hard Enduro with Grimbo?

Scorpa 2018? Yay or nay?
Jitsie aftermarket petcock fixed the leak on my '18 125 Factory.

I bought the subscription last year and it was well worth it. There were some initial teething problems but was great and you could re-watch the events. Only thing I could fault promoter on was the cancelling a round, on what seemed like dodgy reasons?

I just watched the TdN highlights vid and didn't look like much stop and hop there.... Well now on to indoors and stop allowed....then everyone can decry, how the time limit has ruined indoors all winter!

You mentioned earlier the different countries and their take on No Stop.... Is the UK the most consistent in observing, as they are No Stop except for Super Trial and Sheffield Indoor?
-
Spanish road legality - lights, horn, plate size?
Interesting that Italy allows small plates, but when Enduro GP round is there....it's the only round on the race schedule that requires standard full size motorcycle plate on competition bikes.

a smoky TR280i
Bad crank seal on clutch side would be your most likely answer.

1992 Fantic Kroo 250?
I have a friend who is maybe 5"8" and rides and competes his TY350 with the same bars.... I have no idea how he rides it, having taken a short ride on it?

Busto and Fajardo to Gas Gas
Not sure on anything anymore, except if it takes Fajardo another 9 years to win a world round again.... it isn't happening! He definitely seems more comfortable outdoors, than he did indoors. Conversely Gelabert and Bincaz are definitely not showing their indoor form outdoors! I hope he can back it up tomorrow. Busto is a little off the pace in Japan. It seems being an early starter in Japan was an advantage? We'll see what tomorrow brings and if Farjardo can keep it up at the next round in Andorra..... I'll be suitably impressed!

Show Us Your Greeves
That is a sweet bike!

Three Scorpa's, Three Clean!
I hope Gary holds it together and gets the win!

E-Pure?
I was hoping GG would be lowering the price in the future, to make it available to more riders. I guess with people not flinching at the high price of the Alta electric MX bike, all the electric trials bikes are going to the high end?
-
Goggles or not?
I sweat a lot and safety glasses don't work for me, as they are closer to your face and fog up. I use Scott over the glasses goggles. I don't wear glasses, but they space the lenses further from my face.

YAMAHA have a new TY
It's only an endo.... If you flip over!

TRS 125 riding impressions?
http://www.trsmotorcycles.com/TRRS1252018 There is a "ONE" model of the TRS 125. You can see the differences.... carb, shock etc in the spec sheet. I'm guessing with the limited numbers of 125's sold, Jim Snell decided to just bring in the "RR" model this year.

TRS 125 riding impressions?
Thank you for the offer! I don't think I'll make those this year. Are you going back next year to TTC for Trials Training Days? I'm planning on next year. I forgot to add... Congratulations on the new bike and enjoy!

Arthritic fingers ?
Plus one on both! S3 digit levers work best for my old arthritic hands!

TRS 125 riding impressions?
I'm right in the same age range and and been riding trials for 2 years. I have owned newer Gas Gas and Scorpa 125's. The newest generation of 125's will do just about anything an aged Novice/Intermediate rider needs to do and I imagine the TRS 125 is right there with them. I had a Yamaha TY175 which is an awesome bike, but a new 125 is so much easier to ride and I sold the TY to concentrate on riding modern trials. I hope to get a ride on a TRS 125 sometime, but my local TRS dealer doesn't plan on having one this season. My '18 Scorpa 125 Factory is everything I want and need right now anyway! Go buy one, you won't regret it!

Best trials bike for 2018?
125 is a keeper for me!

Best trials bike for 2018?
I love how you always come back to how much you like your wife's GG125! I think you should sell the 4RT and get a 125 of any brand!

YAMAHA have a new TY
I think Yamaha still has a bit of a relationship with Scorpa, even with its new owner Sherco. The very one off TYS250F for the Japanese National Series, has had some Scorpa bits still sprinkled in it.

Compression Release
Tryals Shop just had 4 different SY250 in for pre season maintenance. Mike was the importer, and there isn't much he doesn't know about them. I'm sure you have spoken to him. He said this was about the easiest trials bike to start ever, with its long kick lever. You might want to look into your motor a bit more if it is hard to kick?

No place to warm your hands? Check out that giant heat sink under the rear fender! I want one of these, when the have a consumer version!
