I will try that this week as soon as I have some time, let you know then. Thanks

Thank you for your interest Totalshell: The engine runned ok untill this happened. Then I open the cylinder to check inside. I have this photo from the carb and the filter. It is strange as everything inside the cylinder looks perfect. In fact the engine starts at the first kick and runs ok untill you need big power out of it, and it happens only sometimes. Somebody here in Spain told me this kind of cylinders need some polish inside, but I don

To be honest I must say Rochepaule is not Scotland, only 20 pre-65 bikes there last year, and more than 300 twinshock....

Hi bilco: The bike I think is made out of parts. The tank is a beamish, but a friend of myne is making me a new tank in UK replica to the old Francis Barnett

Hi from Spain: I own this Pre-65 bike with a Villiers engine. Some days ago the piston blocked because it was overheated (a hot spanish day). When te engine cooled down a little it started again with no problems. Now sometimes the piston blocks for an instant. The piston looks ok, as well as the inside of the cylinder and the rings. Is there anibody that knows why and how can I stop this??? Thanks in advance.

I agree with Big John, it is nice to see old bikes back to its former glory, and in my opinion, the closer to the original, the better. It

And this 199 I have just finished it this weekend

Another one. What we do in Spain is to use the foot rest from the Bultaco Frontera, that are 1,5 cm. longer, but similar to the Sherpa ones, the balance is much better with those, and it looks really original.

Hi DIGGLER: Nice one. You have a funny exhaust I have never seen before on a Bultaco. You can find a lot of things for that bike in www.ivancirre.com/tiendanueva/ Big John: don

Hi TrialsRfun: There was also an Ossa bike racing, but unfortunately I don

I have ordered the book now, thank you again.

This is amazing

Hi from Spain TrialsRfun: here you have one of the Sherpa N and one from the Impala. The Impala was a road bike, not a trials one, and the Sherpa N was originally made for enduro. This preparations are home made, as obviously there are only arround 40 spanish trials bikes pre-65, all bultaco

I have a friend here that has the most amazing collection of twinshocks in the world. He has more than 300 and

Hi Mr. Big John: World is small

Hi: Yes I cut the mudguard here too short, but unfortunately the new original ones are quite expensive, so I will better keep it like this. Patrick, that is a nice one too, and looks original. Model 49 was built between october 1968 and april 1971 and there were made a total of 4706 units, so it is not difficult to find them still. The difficult one is model 27

Hi from Spain: Here we really die for old british trials bikes, and it

Hi Big John, I can remember you and your beautifull bike. At last Jill Andrews was up in the Pipline and told me the gear Mick allways use there with his bike. Sorry but I have to keep it as a little secret. In fact I can also remember that little japanese with his tiny Honda fighting in the queue. I am not the man that tryed to buy a Tiger Cub from Alan Wright last year. Actually I own a B-40, Roy Peplow

Hi Big John and thanks for your tip. Mauricio and I rode together with numbers 142 and 144 and I can assure you we have never complain with observers in our 36 years in this sport. I am most shure our other friend Alfonso didn

Hi From Segovia - Spain: and thanks for the wonderfull time we had in Scotland last month. We are a group of 3 friends that rode the Pre-65 trials from Segovia in the mountains north to Madrid. Of course we did it in Britush bikes. In fact my friend Mauricio, racing with number 142 rode an historical Triumph that won the SSDT on 1959 rided by Roy Peplow, and the bike is kept pretty original. I had a wonderfull time riding Mick
