the bike m lampkin is riding is an alta suzuki they were made before the one in question which was a mclaren alta suzuki good picture though

yes its a 1972 mclaren 120cc they are as rare as hens teeth in there day they were well ahead of there time but only 200 were made so it realy didnt last long i have a couple myself good for classic but not enough power for modern stuff unless you are 9 stone wet through to ride it

just to let everyone know that we are clearing the car park tomorrow but there is no problem about parkin as we have 2 car parks and some off road parkin aswell my advise get there pretty early should be a good event the sections wont be hard as we have the awards presentation afterwards at the local pub along with free hot food all welcome

anyone who wants more info about the frodsham trial should ring terry 07543393128 cheers

hi there i couldnt find the exact one but the closest one i found to the original was the hamerite silver and its hard wearing good luck

hi there just to say the frodsham trial is still on for sunday and they are running a 50/50 route now for all those intrested also there is no problem parking as there are 2 car parks for more details contact terry sutton cheers !!!!!

hi there all just herd that the fisher trial this weekend has been cancelled due to wether conditions WHAT A SHAME a brilliant event but i have herd that frodsham trial is still on not in the same league as the fisher but a good little trial for the clubmen out there and beginners i have herd they may be running a 50/50 route as well this year i will find out more tonite and keep you all posted Just a quick one i have just found out of the officials at frodsham club that the trial is still on for sunday and that they are now running a 50/50 route for all those intrested also there is no problem parking as there is 2 car parks to use so dont panic see you all there

i agree with you chewy about the acu i was heavely iovolved in the acu years ago but the crap and the old sticks in the mud drove me mad so i gave it up but i have been involved with the acu at centre level again now for a while but there is alot of new blood now in the trials and it seems to be workin quite well but things need to change over the grading your idea is basicly the same as what i said but will rugby help in any way ! well i,ll leave this space open as i dare not comment on them thanks for your reply

here one for you in my centre we have a system that states that once you make it to expert you cant be down graded at all now there is options with this 1. you ride out of class which is ok but we all entre 2 compete in a class otherwise what is the piont ? 2. if your over 40 you can ride in the clubman class against the non expert over 40 which is ok but they might get fed up experts ridin against them and stop competing themselfs cos there is no point as there is less chance of winning against experts 3. if you are made up to expert and your not over 40 but the step up is to big what can you do ????? there are many riders out there who are in 1 of these classes for one reason or another ie 0/40 who want a challenge but dont want to end up in A&E and have to get up on monday mornin for work .Another reason in are centre the inter class is very short lived as most events dont have a big turn out in this class , its not that there arent any inter riders out there becouse there is over 100 inters registered in the centre but only a hand full turn up at a trial conciquently winning this class is made easyer and after 4 wins you move up to expert then thats it no going back now some clubs run a separate inter route but some just make the inters ride the expert route which is ok for the up and coming riders who have the ability and youth on there side to do this as the only way to get better is to push yourself harder,but there are riders out there as i said before who want a challenge without killing themselfs based on this i feel that is why alot of riders are not riding now when you see the statistics of riders where are they ? now there is in my opinion a possable answer to this if the inter class was made to win 8 events over the calender year this would possably give the inter rider more experience to reach a higher level of riding before the big jump up but also sertain clubs in this centre run what is known as a 50/50 class which the same as what the inters do but 50% of the sections are clubmen route and 50% are the easyer expert sections now this is a huge class in there club so much so that they run a 50/50 class for beginners to ride 50% of the clubman route .I know that yes its another class and yes more paperwork bla bla bla !!! but times are changing all the time and we need to be moving with them to accomidate these riders we have certon riders in this centre who travel from northwales up to buxton area just so that they can have a good ride out on this 50/50 route rather than ride there local trial . to me this is the easyist way if all clubs ran a 50/50 route there is a place for these people who want a bit of a extra challenge without being out of class or we do something about being able to be down graded . Whats the answer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its a real pain tryin to get the paint off in all the nooks and crannys in the past ive had casings aqua blasted the finish is brilliant far better than just sand blasted and its not to expensive in comparison to time the chap who sells all the greeves stuff in this country is the man for this you can get his number if you just type in greeves on the net hope this helps

well i agree ive been the show for years and in my opinion the show was better when it was at trentam gardens i think the problem is what it cost to put a stand on but in the same text how can new blood come into the sport if when they go to what is surpose to be the biggest off road show in the country to veiw all the latest trials bike for adults and kid and chat to the dealers and when they get there and there are only 3 or 4 bikes there this year i took my kids to have a look at the latest kids bikes as my lad is ready for an upgrade but nothing at all ive had betas for years but i couldnt believe it when all i saw was j lampkin stood behind one bike and no thing else not even any brochures to dish out all i can say is if it wasnt for shirty stand we as a trials ferternity we would be a laughing stock how can you justify poor sales if they arnt there to sell i can honesty say this was the last year i will be goin and i certanly not advise anyone to go in future in a word crap !!!!!!!!

well yes there was queing but what a trial some of the best scenery in the country and the wether was briliant on saturday and usuall rain on sunday all i can say is a big thanks to all who organised the event to set up an event like this to suit so many levels of rider so that no one gets hurt is brilliant all the complaning does is dishearten the people who give up all there spare time to put sutch an event on well i say try running a big event like this and an entry as big as they had without queing what would the complainers say if there was no event in the future see you next year !!!!

hi there i agree there is a problem with the 08 mine was just the same but i didnt touch it till i had run it in even though it runs lean try and run it in without doing anything to hard and then set it up my mate did this and it was ok i didnt need to touch mine its got better since it was run in i rode the lomax a couple of weeks ago without any problems and there is some big stuff there there is a setting for the carb if you want it though its a bit difficult to explan so if you email me with your number ill let you know what it is good luck

manuals are avalible for these as my brother picked one up the other week off the the web the clutch problem is common on bikes bing stood the best thing is to start the bike up prefably in a field warm up the engine then roll the bike forward and slip it into gear without the clutch ride it around and try and get it into a bigger gear bigger the better while holding the clutch lever in do this for a few minetes try and press the back brake at the same time without stalling it it should free off then use the bike for short time to get the oil hot after this drain the oil and put fresh oil in and it should be ok but this will happen again if you leave it this is not uncommon in all bikes hope this helps

hi there well llangollen club is a good club and have there own practice ground if your a member and brad who runs the club is very helpful also it,s a bit of a trek but frodsham club have practice / training days every other saturday and again very helpful check out both there web sites for contacts , by the way can anyone tell me where toms farm is thanks

the best thing to do is contact k&n themselfs and they are very helpfull but they will ask you loads of questions .i.e what diamiter ,what lenth do you want it parrell or cone shaped ,do you want a foam filter or a gorse type so before you ring try and work out how much space you have and dimentions and they will put you right and then put you in touch with your nearist dealer good luck
