There is no such thing as a TR35. There is a TR34R which stood for a Trials Third model (TR32 & TR33) The R stands for a Jordi Tarres Replica.

Axle is right Tryals Shop should have some parts. Lewisport is the US distributer for Montesa parts that is why I thought of them. Either way you should have no issues getting parts. Cheers BillyT

Try Lewisport in California. Call Bill Merit and tell him you spoke with me. Bill's number is 805 368 0996. Bill can get you anything you need for the Montesa. BillyT

Cope, you are bang on about the potency potential of poutine! With Armstrong living in Austin, TX and being so close to the Laredo border I am sure it flowed freely at his Austin compound. I heard Sheryl Crow got addict to it whilst she dated him and she had to go to re-hab. I understand that in some states there is a 30 day waiting period for background checks before you can buy some. You can even get medical Poutine with a prescription but that may go away as people are abusing the process. Poutine and guacamole rolled up in a taco and then smoked is apparently da bomb.

Hey Glenn, I agree. How about we chat about Oscar Pistorius instead? LOL I would not have charged him any bail money. I would have taken his faux legs as a deposit, what would he have done, ran away? LOL

Here is the verbiage from the post that disappeared a weeks past. The US government has asked the British parliament if they can use the queens likeness on the dollar bill, the UK parliament replied, yes. On one condition, If you will allow us to use your presidents likeness back on our Robertson's jam jars! To understand that you have to be born in the sixties, seventies in the UK i.e. Gollywogs........

Mr Ham, known affectionately from now on as Mr Pork. How can I name the post if it has been deleted. Andy would just delete it again. With Andy's blessing I would gladly state the thought again, Andy? You keep referring to things British and stating "you would not get it, you weren't to know that" what nationality do you think I am? Where do you think I live? What accent might I have? I am not ignoring what you wrote, I read your posts, I just chose not to reply to what you wrote until you wrote something that made sense. The fact that you had to Google up the word "poutine" speaks to your lack of worldly knowledge. Oh and by the way the word Phoenix is spelt so, not Pheonix PS: does the handle "HAM" come from a Ham radio enthusiast or are you fat and crispy? If it does then please educate me as to what is the abbreviation "H.A.M." as it applies to this hobby. If we look at another sport for doped controversy, say MMA for examples. The recent fight between Georges St-Pierre & Carlos Condit. St-Pierre was clearly on DHMO. I guess the test will come back and prove it shortly! Over to you..............

Hey Ham2 ( I wonder what happened to HAM 1) You wrote: "We're talking about the same Billyt genius who has more posts removed for 'ignorance' than any other TC user." I am proud to say I have been a member of Trials Central since1995 (before Andy acquired it from Ian Johnstone). In that 18 years I have had one post removed so how does that make me have the most posts removed than any other member? Where are you getting your facts from? Since I have been around here for so long I probably have the most posts if they where all counted up since 1995. So from a percentage point of view 1 post out of a LARGE number is a good bating average. And as for Gazza he is a washed up alcoholic has been. I (we) think you should change your name to Pork 1 or better yet how about Mr Spam.

Ham2 New York fries is a distributor of poutine. I think Mr Horton is also.

Hey Ham 2 Backard, Cahill, Fracy all used to smoke the poutine way back when. Maybe you could get a petition started with the CMA (Canadian Motorcycle Association). I am sure the CMA would like to hear about the abuse of the poutine by the three amigos listed above. Their dealer was a guy called Francois Claudeze a real shady character from Manitoba. Its about time Fracy was exposed for the doping abuse. I have lost track of how many guys went without poutine on their Pom Frits due to Francois cornering the market. Go get em Ham...........

Hi Ham If Steve Fracy was tested during his long run as the CDN champion one would have found many questionable substances running through his veins. Poutine, Timmy's double doubles, donair, and all sorts of wacky stuff. Steve would roll up the rim to win at any and all costs. Ham........ Start questioning Mr Fracy about why he used copious amount of poutine when we all know it is a enhancement substance and that the CDN athletics committee has banned it. Get on his case about that!

Steve Dave is correct. Francois is on the far right. This was before he had the operation that installed the neckerchief permanently

The Pentax's where replica's of the bike Takumi Narita rode. Pentax in Englewood Colorado and I brought six of them in to the USA back in the mid nineties. In my other life I am a camera nut and have been using Pentax cameras (6x7, 645 Medium formatt) for years, now I use a Leica M9 as well as Pentax). In fact these pictures where taking with a Pentax 6x7 formatt camera. The Pentax's where an awesome bike and the one bike I regret not keeping around. Very free revving, light, agile with incredible build quality. The Pentax's where slightly different than the regular TLM260 that had some pre-detonation issues. Some people used to run two spark plugs in the head to help with ignition, no such need in the Pentax bikes.

Fellow Canuks Anybody remember these guys? I am in there also LOL

Mark. Yep......... And a guy came up to me when I was riding and asked if he could swap out his car for the Grand Prix, as the car we where riding on was in better shape LOL

Pentax on Car

Me on my first RTL 250

Two of us.

Me on the Pentax again

Steve we have both been called "Yankees" this week ................. And they say people from the USA are geographically ignorant MMM

Lets be practical here. Who pulls a wheelie and then puts the front brake on. Even if they did if the back wheel was stopped then it would be a lack of forward motion. Even when they are hopping from rock to rock (with the front wheel in the air) the back wheel has to turn to do so. Hey Dave. Will there be anywhere to ride in Alberta if/when the new LSR Sask takes effect? Hey Old Trials Fanatic I am from Glasgow Scotland as far from a yank as one could get.

Steve Just got your text last night. All is well, I will call you or e mail you at the weekend. Yanks my a***.................

"It always makes me sigh when the yanks keep going on about sensors on the wheels" Where are the "Yanks" going on about this? "We have all done this at some point and know it to be true that you havent stopped forward motion so lets just dismiss that as an irrelevance." Ignorant B*******. Lets just dismiss your postings also. Maybe you should read what was actually wrote.

Somebody help me understand................... For an objective moving in one direction, it has to come to a COMPLETE stop to change direction (unless it is an ellipse or circle). All energy has to be killed (or transferred into another form of energy). So, is the new ruling trying to penalize the lack of forward movement or movement period............. If it is trying to penalize the lack of movement then this is impossible as a bike has to stop in oder to change direction. So if a bike is going up a rock and the (as in the PR no stop video) and the rider is on his back wheel and then hops the bike laterally side ways seemingly without stopping. The bike had to have stopped to change direction. If I roll down a hill and then lift the back end of the bike in the air to flick the back end over the wheel is still moving/turning in mid air even though the front wheel is stopped just not moving forward. So, is the new ruling focused on a lack of forward motion or motion period? If it is a lack of motion then a simple device can be hooked up to the bike that detects no movement to the front wheel. The witness to this lack of movement can be a buzzer or lights that the judge can see. If the buzzer or light goes off then the bike has stopped. The device would monitor how long the bike was actually stopped for. Not how long the rider was in the section. We could even goes as far in the brains of this device to have different time delays for each class. That is adjustable on the bike with maybe five different settings. As one progresses through classes you get less time to stop at anyone point in a section. An upper class could say have 5 sec time delay and the lower classes such as a novice 15 seconds. The trials marshall could even deem each section with different time delays for stopping. Harder sections could have a longer time delays assigned to them affording a stop and set up, with no stop type sections having little to no time delay. This then begs the question should the device be monitoring the lack of movement from the front wheel or rear wheel? This device is VERY doable and simple.
