We have three trials events left this season, Gravenhurst September 24, Raymond (close by) September 25 and St George on October 16. There are also a number of CVMG trials that are great for a new-to-trials rider. You can see all the flyers and schedule at www.trialsontario.ca. Some bikes for sale listed on www.trialsontario.ca and www.trialscanada.com.
Just a note that the 2011 season kicking off at Dave's place at Sparrow lake. Saturday April 23. Note this is Saturday, so you can still be back in time for the Easter bunny...
Dave had hoped to lay out sections at a new spot near Huntsville but weather hasn't cooperated for him to be able to get in and cut trails and sections. The Huntsville spot is planned for the fall.
On behalf of the Ontario trials riders and organizers, we are pleased to announce the donation of $1000.00 to support the Canadian Trials des Nations Team. These funds were raised through:
Floats can become sinks on the Bing model 84. You can check it by just putting the float in a container of gas. It should not sink to the bottom. I bought a float from Bing USA for Spanish Bing #12301/1. I think the newer floats are black. The part number was 350300 $15.78. http://www.bingcarburetor.com/
On another note, I also bought a slide that did not have the same cut-away as the original. Bike ran very rich through the mid range and ended up changing back to the original worn slide.

looks good, Fox Shox should be mounted with the chamber at the top as they were on your bike originally. I have these on my 199A as well. Also if you rotate the kick start lever forward on the spline a notch or two, you will get a bit more engine rotation before the kicker hits the footpeg.
Where did you get the new fenders and the tank decals?
Saw them a few times in the women's cross country mountain bike race, an '03 (yellow) and a red fender model. Also thought I saw a Montesa. Near the end of the race, two trials bikes were real close to a couple of XC riders, a trials bike bonked off a rock and sped up. CBC anouncers mentioned something about those 'motocrossers' Could hear the Beta exhaust note through most of the race too.
Yes that's the place, trial location is actually between Wiarton and Lion's Head. Mostly limestone there. Keep an eye on the schedule, the St. George trial in the fall is between Cambridge and Brantford, should be on your route as well.
We met these guys at a trials demo we did a few weeks ago, they are just finishing the testing on a new bike they will be selling. Check out the Orillia demo...Meta Bike Impressive when he jumped off the flat bed, onto the top of the outrigger post then to the car hood, then the ground...not much margin for error landing on that 4"x4" post!
