I think it was machined of the cases and a slave cylinder installed, although if you contact dave lampkin on 01535 652328, he will be able to give you more technical information, it was nearly ten years ago, and i was only 14 at the time!!! But if anyone knows where this bike is, please let me know Cheers

any more results???

I dont want to argue about whether or not this bike had a hydrualic clutch on or not, I rode it, and it had one! OK That is why it was a distinguishing feature, i got the bike in 1994, after the hydraulic clutches were introduced, and the clutch that went on was a copied gas gas clutch (after market type thing) Please dont argue with me, however if you can tell me where this bike is i would be most grateful!!!!!

Yes you are correct, in 1992 i think betas were still using cable clutches, although Dave lampkin (cousin of Dougie) made steve colley a prototype hydraulic clutch, for his beta, then he went to gas gas and the clutch was taken back off his bike and i got hold of it for my beta tr 34 in about 1993. I think the bloke who rode in the british championship, who was a relative was called steve? and i have not seen his name in the results for a couple of years in tmx i know its not very helpful, but still worth a try.

I used to own a 1989 beta tr 34 125, when i was in the schoolboys. It was a bit of an old nail, but it did have one distinguishing feature, that it had a hydraulic clutch on it, and when i sold it, it came with a complete oversize petrol tank and seat unit, as used bu the factory riders in the ssdt. I sold it in 1996 to a bloke and either his youngest son or grandson in the cornwall / devon area, his older brother or uncle used to ride in the british championship expert class at that time, on either a gas gas or a beta. This may be some help?????????? I am wanting to try and track the bike down, and buy it back - i know its a bit of a wild shot, but has any one got any clues as to where it might be or who has got it.

Me too, got a text letting me know i had a ride, also my mate clayton and barbs are in, Let the fun begin tomorrow at one!!!!!!

James does ride over here occasionally, normally about 8 weeks before the scott trial, and then around christmas time. He hasn't ridden in enough centre trials to be a recognised expert in yorkshire and i dont know about the Lancashire centre because he does originate from somewhere near Barnoldswick - although he would easily be graded as an expert if he rode more events in Yorkshire. Sound enough guy when he rides over here though

Yep dabster you are right, No one has come up with any ideas upon how the selection process works!!!!

I think the replies to this post are missing my point, i agree Maria should be able to ride in the Expert british Championships, as she needs to ride events at that level. In order to progress. What i don't understand is the selection process tha acu have, and what it is based on. Last year i wasn't guarenteed a ride until i scored a point in the first round, however other riders who i was regularly beating each weekend were guarenteed a ride, but had never scored points before? As i have said its the selection process that baffles me, just wondered if any one could shed any light (and the truth)

Its nice to see tha acu take on board problems and deal with them - NOT! Just been back home for dinner and had a quick read through the selected riders list, 17 on the british championship course, 5 or 6 on the masters, 29 on the expert route, 5 riders from youth. with 9 in priority order for the reserve list - Which includes riders such as Richard Timperley, Nathan Wrigglesworth etc - who both, i will admit are better riders than me! So how does the ACU board select these riders, is it on merit, previous results etc, because i find it hard to believe that Maria Conway can be accepted straight on to the expert championship list, and Richard Timperley can't, This is not a dig at Maria's ability, it is one directly at the acu Because there will be about thirty riders wondering this, who are below the reserve list hoping to get a chance at a ride, in one of the rounds. Any one else got any comments

Subira you have hit the nail on the head! Riders tend to alter carburation etc to what others say, this may work well for one bike and totally the opposite for the other, it always depends on the bike you get initially, from brand new a bike can be a total pig! and run like a sack of 5hit. However when people meddle with there bike do they know what they are doing and do they know what response they want from changing certain elements. At the end of the day it all boils down to time spent riding a bike, the more you work at it the better you get, but you have to look at other riders and techniques and try and incorporate them into your riding style. Doug and Shaun didn't get where they did today buy putting fancy new bits on there bikes or by fine tuning the bike (to an extent they have done) but what has made them into the talent they are is the practise and time they have spent on the bike.

I have to agree with Sunt, i leave the carburation as it is, just run decent fuel and premix oil, I leave the gearing as standard, (although i do change it for the scottish for the road work.) Jet kit has been put in like sunt. I have taken the rear baffle out of the back pipe and run a straight through, also the rear shock is jacked up a bit cos i'm a bit of a fat lad - which is probably the only difference between mine and sunts bike (And if you look at us two stood together, you will see why i need a bit more power) I also run renthal bars, Iris chains, Jitsie fork guards, REP oil/petrol cap, hebo footrests and dunlop tyres.

I know he did, look at everything that goes on in the scottish, but everyone remembers Disney riding over the bridge!!!!

Ok, here you have it Perce (and everyone else) The ultimate golden rule - Never have just one last go, it always ends in tears! It did!!!!! Sunt - "Hey Boydie, do you think you can ride over that bridge" Boyd - "I thought we were going home, John? i've got my rucksack on! Oh, Go on then" Sunt - "Boyd, Boyd," Boyd - "SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT" I went into the road and well you can guess where the bike went, although i and the bike was lucky. it was a bit of a close call! Total Damage, water pump cover and impellor, about

Over the hill I have some absolute crackers - some a bit rude others not, Would definately raise a few eye brows.
