    Senor Greeves, down here in the southern hemisphere even though we have some shows we don't get the great shows that you get, so please forgive me if I ask again for you to share more photographs of any of the great bikes at the Madrid Classic Bike show. I'm sure many classic trials fans will enjoy them as much as I do.

    Thanks Woody.

    So you have two "stub" spindles then? Wouldn't that make the handling "interesting"? Or do the "stub" spindles mate with a female that's been grafted onto the rear of the motor. Pic doesn't show that much detail.

    That occured to me after posting Dabster, I meant JR's bike. Have a zoom into the cases, looks like the spindle goes thru' the back of them.

    How on earth did the move the swinging arm mount? I assume they drilled thru' the cases and mounted a bush inside the cases. It must be a major operation.

    Apparently there was an article about the Reynolds/Metcalfe monos in "Classic Bike" a few years ago. If anybodies got that article I'd love to see it. Below is a pic of the 303 (photo from Mats Nybergs site) . Clearly not a mono. Interestingly Ossa made a bike called a domino after they went bang. But it wasn't a mono either.

    Loose Disc?

    toofasttim replied to ktmsprocket's topic in Sherco

    Ding the disc and the front wheel could get stuck. That's why you have either floating disc or floating caliper.

    Fuzzy, the Fox shocks are a collectors item. Very rare if they're Fox trials shocks.

    toofasttim replied to hewson's topic in Twinshock

    Very good bike but a little delicate. BTW please introduce a little punctuation. It makes posts so much easier to understand.

    Hey John You'll enjoy this: popped into the local the other evening for a pint and bumbed into Peter Williams of Norton fame. No joking. Very nice guy. BTW saw Peter & Jo last weekend.

    I'm probably speaking out of turn here John, but I've known guys with less ability than you successfully stripping and rebuilding a pro motor.

    Great, I've been missing Rappers out here in the colonies.

    Also, it's very nice of the GLC to paint the street names on the streets and in some cases the buildings too.

    Sorry mate but I get the impression you're far too white for that That's what they said in sarfefrica See: http://www.citizen.co.za/index/article.aspx?pDesc=16773,1,22 and: http://www.citizen.co.za/index/article.aspx?pDesc=10287,1,22

    Playing around with GoogleEarth the other day and I zoomed into London. Great resolution, but I noticed something very odd. In the attached image: you'll notice all the shadows run top to bottom or north to south. What gives? Was the sun rising or setting in the south? Go figure.

    Year would have been about '77'ish (I'll have to go and look in the mag). Trials was the St Davids.
