Will be very interesting to see how these new rules work out, I think cutting the time limit to 1 minute will speed the riders up a bit (depending on the length of the sections) possibly making it a bit more exciting for spectators. Not so sure about not being able to walk sections on the day of the event, looking forward to seeing how this works. In my opinion, whatever rules the FIM decide to run, the same few riders will still be at the top of the results sheet come the finish!
This stuff is fairly thick, would think it would be fine on the frame. I work for a sign company and have got samples of this material, might have to order some in to have a play with.
The tank on Scorpas are plastic. I have recently had the tank and frame re-done on my bike. The original Blue paint/laquer on the tank took a bit of rubbing down but it was worth it as the finish on the new paint job is very good.
To do the frame I stripped the bike completely, the frame was then sand blasted & powdercoated. Once again the finish is very good. See pics below.
There are a few clubs in North Devon that cater for twin shocks. The Lyn club run a few trials a year which are about 15-20 miles from Barnstaple. The Exmoor club run trials about 30 miles away & the Torridge club is also very good, about 20-30 miles away. All of these clubs have some really good bits of ground & all run 3 routes.

Hi Steve,
There are plenty of clubs in Devon who run trials throughout the year, this should get you started.
