The WTC do not normally comment on abstract forums - However, as a director of the WTC I should mention that we have no President - only volunteers who work to promote trials . - Everybody works to help the family aspect of trials at the lowest cost possible - Nobody gets paid.. and BTW we are NOT changing our name. I will not respond to any hate replies on this forum.

The annual Adrian Brown memorial Trial, was held in OK Falls BC on October 18th - Adrian was a popular member of the Trials group in the Okanagan Valley, and had a wonderful sense of humor. - Unfortunately we lost him way to soon to Cancer at age 50 when this was discovered on a visit to his London UK home in 2001. - His local club in the UK was the Bognor Regis and this year, his parents sent out a special plaque to display at this yearly event which is all about raising money for Cancer research. We are happy to report that we collected $890.00 for this worthy cause, but more importantly we shared a lot of good memories of Adrian around the camp fire.

Hi Heffergm - I find the Beta Evo 4T really easy to kick over, and they start usually first or second kick, hot or cold.

Motul coolant is red and recommended by the factory - I'm guessing that is what was in the bike.

Lots being sold in Canada

Steve you can post what you want - but you are only harming the sport, and making yourself look silly, which is unfortunate. - To say that none of the top riders in Canada will attend our event in Scotch Creek is absolute nonsense - Brandon Wince is unable to ride as he is working in Alaska, and will not get back until after the Trial., but Tino Marin and Sam King will be there, plus Stan Bakgaard and Steve Day etc- all top Experts. - We do recognize that some riders will be going to the PNTA Trial in Washington State, because they are going for points. - Sometimes dates conflict - We wish them well.

The WTC (World Trials Canada) Western Championship Trial, will go this weekend at the Scotch Creek location, in British Columbia - The venue offers a wide variety of terrain, with a long loop on private land, overlooking the beautiful Shuswap lake. - The large camp-site can cater to all sizes of vehicles, including 45 ft Motor homes. - With riders expected from all over Western Canada, it promises to be a very hot weekend with temperatures forecast in the +36 degree range. - However, with the close proximity of the Lake many will no doubt take time to cool off after the event, which takes in both Saturday and Sunday. - Spanish rider Tino Marin and Australian Sam King will head up the Expert Class, but will no doubt face some fierce competition from the West Coast riders.

Novagar went broke - we had issues with Alpine Star a few year ago so won't sell them anymore - Gaerne are good as are Forma, Sidi and Hebo - but We have just started carrying the Wulf line and can't get enough of them - similar to a Novagar - seem to be standing up very well and you can't beat the price. The choice is yours, but try a few pairs with an extra pair of socks, before you buy.

Love to hear these old stories, a buddy of mine had a DMW, which had a square tubed frame, his name was Glyn Richards from Whittington, near Oswestry.

The 28th running of the WTC Sanctioned Two Day Outlaw Trial took place at Scotch Creek. BC - on the May long weekend - The Shuswap riders did an excellent job of setting up a variety of sections for all classes, plus put on a big BBQ on both Saturday and Sunday nights. - With an entry of 40 riders each day, plus a kids Trial on the Saturday evening, the event was once again a huge success. In the Expert class, it was an all Beta podium, with Brandon Wince of Kelowna taking the win, over our new transplanted Aussi, Sam King, and Sean Bird - a former CMA Champion, making a welcome return to the sport. The next big WTC Trial is the Eastern Canadian Championship in Quebec, followed by the Western Canadian Championship at Scotch Creek BC - on June 27/28th

The Canadian Trials season has been very active in the past few weeks, with Trials on Vancouver Island, Vancouver and in Calgary Alberta, not to mention the early Vintage events in Ontario. Attendance appears to be up in some areas this year, - At the recent VMC Trial, Will Duggan(GG) made a welcome return, beating out top gun Thomas Cordner,(GG) while at the CPTA Trial this past weekend, it was Kelowna rider, Brandon Wince(Beta) who took the win. - Over the other side of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, - Spanish star Tino Marin(Sherco) took the Expert class at the Calgary event, but was pushed by Ex pat Steve Foord.(Beta) The upcoming season looks to be really busy, with lots of Trials events all across this very large Continent .

Chub - This is threaded - just needs tightening up - happened on a couple of older Betas I had.

Hey Chub - I'm from out in BC, but you have a ton of good Trials people down East - Get a hold of Dave Butler if you need parts for your Beta, and join one of the local clubs - Keep it fun and you and your boy will have a blast.

I know the Costa one does.

Optimol or Opti 2, as it now called has been available in North America for many decades, the East German Factory that produced it, provided superior lubricants to the German air effort during WW2 and the product has been sold under license in the USA and Canada since the 1980's - Used primarily in the Lawn and garden Industry, it is, however a perfect solution to the usual problems associated with two-strokes. - as a mix of 100-1 emits very little smoke, while still providing the ultimate engine protection. - It is used in all recreational two strokes, including Trials and Enduro bikes, plus snowmobiles. - for further info: contact Interlube International. USA.

I have ridden Beta 200's since 2009, and find the stock gearing just fine, However they did change to the 28mm Keihin carb. - which I also find as an improvement on the latest models, I also fit boyesen carbon reeds and a quick throttle. - I'm an old guy, so maybe my reactions are a bit slower, and as we all know "Timing" is everything in Trials riding.

The dates have now been confirmed for 2015. WTC Eastern Canadian Championship - June 20/21 - Morin Heights Quebec - WTC Western Canadian Championship - June 27/.28 - Revelstoke, BC. For further info: Contact daverhodes@shaw.ca. ============================================================
