the addict

Tombo, the addict and Ralph will be there as well, be nice to meet you, not sure of Ralphs reg number but I'm on a 07 4rt and Ralphs on a black frame 08 4rt, Ralphs the athletic good looking one

sorry Lee, not a clue, try a search on here there must be loads of posts on dodgy stators

Make sure the woodruff key hasnt broke first, easy fix and cheap, could also be the timing has moved. A dodgy stator plate usually means the bike wont run at all

Mark, 10 miles on a trials bike will be murder mate,bad roads or not.

And you Graham

I think so Graham, pics as well please of the event and winner

My monies on Graham, although the nerves could get to him early on, remember my expert advise on the other thread Graham "make sure you have a bloody good sh*t before the Trial"

Wow!!!!

Sometimes its not always good to start a trial at an a*** twitcher section, balls it up and it can put you off rest of the day. If possible go and find a nice straight forward one or a few and build the confidence up before you get to the willy shrinker ones. Practice harder nastier stuff than you will ever get on your route so when you do a trial nothing there will bother you, nothing worse than looking at a section on the first lap and scuttling off to the nearest shrubbery for a push

The 4rt is unlike any bike I have had to date, 1st gear for just about everything unless 1st gear wont be fast enough to go up or over something. 3rd and 4th gears just dont work on the 4rt in the sloppy stuff as the motor wont die down like a two stroke so ring its guts out in first if fast enough to get through. I have down geared my Mont alot and it still goes quick enough for most climbs in 1st and seems to be the only gear that kills the torque at high revs aiding grip. Second on a 2 stroke just about covers most stuff unless bloody tight turns and big big climbs, try a few sections in different gears and learn how your bike copes best,nothing like practice

Graham, even if you cant ride about before the trial starts hang back for 30 mins and do some riding before you enter section 1. Its always worth taking time to see how grippy the land is and how the obstacles will ride. Always worth getting up extra early before a trial and making sure you have a good poo nowt worse than one comin on at section 1 it kills ya concentration

Graham more trials you do the less nervous and stiff you'll be on the bike, might take a few weeks but it will come easy soon. Try and get to the trial early and have at least 30 mins riding before you start the first section, take time to watch other riders through and look where they're picking lines.

Used to be a centre expert a few years ago, got back into it recently after a 4 yearish break and arms been killing since. Lots of answers here thanks, think he needs to go and see someone for a thorough check up and get it sorted.

Thanks guys,

think he got one of those thanks, its really bad to be honest, most of us have gone through it in the past,ridable but hurts but its so bad he cant ride at all

Not sure if this is the right forum? (soz Andy) Mate of mine has recently got back into trials and is well suffering with what seems to be tennis elbow, anyone got any advise towards a cure or recommend who would be best to go and see about about it? Ta

I'll have a guess at the next post here "moved to correct forum"

Graham, had the same problem myself after starting back from a 14 year break, couldnt beleive how tricky the sections were,

Now this is Ralphs favourite joke at the moment we're bloody sick of hearing it, hes told nearly everyone in Oxfordshire so far so here goes Baby Polar bear says to his mum "Mum! am I really a polar bear?" Of course you are baby bear, youve got a big fury white coat and big white paws a minute goes past and baby bear says again "Mum! am I really a polar bear?" Of course you are baby bear, you love eating seals and fish dont you another minute goes past and baby bear again says "Mum! am I really a polar bear?" Mum says of course you are baby bear, you live in the Antartic,got a fury white coat,big white paws,love eating fish and seals, why do you keep asking? Baby polar bear says " Because I'm ****ing freezing"

If your on full chat up a hill and its knocking as laser says main jet too weak, do a plug chop at the top of the hill and see if the plugs white. Low octane fuel can make bike knock as well, higher the octane less knocking(octane is a measure of anti knock) could also be the floats set wrong so the carbs lacking fuel/running out at that angle

If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat? If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? Love may be blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener. Hard work never killed anyone, but why chance it? A closed mouth gathers no foot. If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of mortgage payments. If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. Help Wanted: Telepath. You know where to apply.

I read in the News today that a Scotsman was up before the Beak for Buggering a Cat? The Judge dismissed the Case saying "I've never known a Jock put anything into a kitty before"

. Colin meets a girl on the street. He says, "Come on, babe, let's go in the alleyway and get it on. I've got fifteen quid." She says, "FIFTEEN quid? You're crazy. For fifteen quid, I'll let you LOOK at it." They go into the alleyway, she pulls down her pants, and he gets down on his knees. But he can't see anything, because it's too dark, so he gets out his lighter. He lights his lighter, and he says, "My God, your pubic hair... it's so curly and thick... it's BEAUTIFUL." She says, "Thank you." He says, "You mind if I ask you a personal question?" She says, "Go ahead." He says, "Can you pee through all that hair?" She says, "Of course." He says, "Well, you better start. You're fannys on fire."

still there Mark lol

A bloke goes into the Job Centre in Newcastle and sees a card advertising for a Gynaecologist's Assistant. Interested he goes to learn more. "Can you give me some more details about this?" he asks the guy behind the desk. The Job Centre guy sifts through his files and replies, "Uh - yes here it is... OK, the job entails you getting patients ready for the gynaecologist. You have to help them out of their underwear, lie them down and wash their fannies. Then apply shaving foam and shave off all their pubic hair then rub in soothing oils so they're ready for the gynaecologist's examination. There's an annual salary of
