there were a load of scorpas for sale on ebay, the guy said he bought seven to take them to cyprus but they were impounded cos they couldn't be road reg over there because all bikes have to have a seat to be road legal !!!! something like that anyway wonder if its the same bloke?

Will it be ready for the club trial this weekend?? I'll have 2 please.

it does work

as thedbf says from 08 on they had marzocchi ally forks which have black stantions, previous models were chrome.

I use one of these saves taking it off if you are riding sections fits quite a lot in and you can put little fuel bottle in one side and 500ml water bottle in other, but don't get them mixed up

I can only swear by Raptor titianium pegs, they are expensive tho. I keep my original ones and refit them when selling the bike and fit the raptors to the new bike. On my third bike now and the pegs are still like new RAPTOR FOOTRESTS

like the past few years same bike differnt stickers. No surprise that people are not that bothered.

I would say the scorpa as they are mega reliable but if you can, try them all and see which you prefer, its horses for courses really.

just looked on my 08 and its between the carb-head rubber and the shock top bolt

Move your hips in the desired direction. If you want it to go to the right compress suspension moving hips down and left, front brake on extend moving hips across to the right and pre empt the momentum on landing or your body will keep going and you will end up dabbing.

i've heard a couple of people having problems with them, I think there were a couple on the SSDT that blew out because of the higher than normal temp from road riding melting the attachment points. not much help i know hope you get it sorted

GAS GAS = Get A Socket Get A Spanner BETA = Buying Electrics Time Again SCORPA = Super Cool Outragously Reliable Perfect Autocycle

Trials riders 1-4, Jonny walker used to ride for ACE Trials Team, and the hemingways are cousins of that lampkin bloke who might have something to do with trials

Yes it has become very difficult to use but it still has the whats on page http://www.tmxnews.co.uk/pages/whats-on

eliminating the simple things first, is it getting fuel? ie is the plug wet? have you switched the fuel back on? are you getting a spark/have you changed the plug? (might have cooked it) have you tried disconnecting the kill switch? (may have damaged it with the higher current/voltage going through when you tried to kill it) if you have compression and its not locked solid it cant be too bad. Trials engines are pretty robust, so it might be something simple. (fingers crossed)

"His eyes are half closed there is no chance he can shoot"

Is it not a 250 4t scorpa???? If it was in japan they are labelled as yamaha in the same way as montesa are called Honda over there.

more news, The seller has just rang me saying the guy he bought it off looked a bit ropey, and he thought there was something not quite right when he bought it. looks like it down to the coppers now but the grampian police who took my statement said all they will do is forward my statement to humberside police where the orig crime was reported for them to follow up but as a bike was stolen and a bike has now been recovered they will probably not bother taking it any further!!!!!

Bike gone and too buy it back i need to bid on online auction, it cost

Cheers for the replys it was insured and they did pay out so it will be the insurance company's property. Will see what they say.

Right then here's the story, In jan this year I got sent on a 6 week course at marham In Norfolk, as it's I'n the middle of no where and over 1000mile round trip to get home at weekends I decided to take the trials bike and ride with a few mates based In Lincolnshire. Organised to ride a Lincoln trial with my mate, as I used to be based in Lincolnshire I knew quite a few of the guys at the trial, whilst sitting in a q I asked one of the guys who owns a bike shop if he had any 250 4 banger Enduro bikes in, he said no, but another lad who I know said his mate had a yam wr 250f for sale, I got the sellers details after the trial and phoned him. I asked all the usual questions, is it road reg, no. How long have you had it, 2 yrs. Has it done much, only a couple of h&h races as I'm at uni I'n Leeds. Bike is located at his mates I'n Lincolnshire after the last h&h. Ok all sounds ok can you send me some photos to see weather it worth taking a 2 hr drive to have a better look, eventually got a photo. Bike looks in good nick. When can I come have a look? Need to check when my mate is available blah blah. Go have a look at the bike located I'n a nice village, nice house etc new jag and new mini on the drive. It his mates parents house. Bike Looks ok leaky fork seal and no front brake, easily sorted. Can I have a ride of it? Yeah sure. Bike doesn't start, mess about running fuel through carb etc. It's not been started In a while. How long ? About 18 months since he Left for uni. Ok Got it started runs nice. Happy days. Agree on price 1250. Got 300 cash pay the rest via paypal. Paypal decline the payment as the think it's fraudulent use of my account. Can't use paypal until they un block my accnt. Take the cash back and leave telling him I will resend paypal money then give him the rest when pick up bike. He happy with that. Resend him the money. He grumbles as he not validated his account and can't get money out. Eventually gets the money I meet his mate with remainder I'n cash and get the bike. Come home do a couple of Enduro races and do pretty well, buy some bits and bobs for it. Find out I didn't get an entry for ssdt so decide it would be good to get the Enduro road reg to watch ssdt. Get all paperwork sorted and get my no plate. End up observing with mates at ssdt so didn't really use Enduro bike. Get a phone call on sun from the police asking about the bike saying it was stolen and they want to come have a look. Ok. They check frame and engine nos they match up with stolen bike details. Bike stolen from humberside sept last year!!!! They check that it hasn't been recovered and not taken off database. They coming tomorrow to seize the bike  Anyone else been in this situation. Going to try and get money back from paypal/bank but the cash has gone. Anyone bought a bike back from insurance company??? Forgot to mention his mate who was keeping the bike i recognise from lincoln trials and is one of the nicest blokes youll ever meet!!!!

I did hear they were having issues with the exhaust hitting the swing arm. And I think the above problem actually caused the head to crack around the bottom bolts on one of the ssdt bikes.

from the ssdt entry list on ssdt site 170 Paul McLoughlin * Irish Leinster MC Greeves 280 171 Sean Doyle * Irish Leinster MC Greeves 280 172 Jonathan Lunney * Northern Irish Banbridge MCC Greeves 280

I thought that was if you passed your test not just CBT, i'm just goingoff the top of head not looked into it.
