Had the same thing happen a few years ago on a 2005 Rev 3. Happened out the blue, replaced woodruff key and it never happened again.

Hi Stephen, There is a national trial on at Largs this Sunday run by the Stevenston club. Worth coming down to check it out, or even help one of the observers Hope to see you there Graeme

Ive been wearing knee pads for over 10 years and won't ride without them now Currently using 661 comp am knee pads, good value and not too bulky.

Fantastic day, took the family along and they it enjoyed too! Great to see the best in the country doing their stuff. Hope the event comes back next year.

Hi Richard, You are well catered for in Ayrshire, there are 2 active clubs Stevenston MCC and Dalmellington MCC which run a large number of trials throughout the year. Also just on the Ayrshire border is the fantastic practice and training facility Bob McGregor Trials Academy.

It does appear at first read that regular trials riders will be disproportionally impacted by this change compared to other disciplines simply due to the low starting price of trials events and the fact trials riders tend to ride a lot more events. Won't stop me riding though, just fancied a moan

Most Stevenston trials are within 30 minutes travel from Houston and as mentioned the Bob McGregor trials academy is an excellent practice facilty within 20 minutes travel. www.stevenstonmcc.co.uk Hope this helps

I couldn't get a trials helmet to fit my daughter and ended up buying a ski helmet. Might be worth checking out Nau helmets, they seem to be made on the neat side.

Inverness and district club, 9th & 10th June I think

Brilliant!!!

Just had the same issues mate, replaced master cylinder seal kit and couldn't get the brake bled, tried upside down, forwards, backwards you name it. Eventually borrowed a vacum bleed kit and it still wouldn't bleed. It would appear that the new master cylinder seal has got damaged during fitting despite taking every care. Another m/c seal kit ordered, fingers crossed for this time.

Stevenston Mcc will be holding trials on 26/12/2011 at Lochwinnoch, Ayrshire and on 02/01/2012 at Kilbirnie, Ayrshire. Unfortunately both are approx 90 miles from Oban making a 4 hour round trip. The Perth club will be holding a trial at New Year which will probably be more reasonable in terms of distance. It might also be we worth checking with the Lochaber club, Fort William is just up the round. Hope this helps

Thanks for your comments guys

Look what the wife made for my 40th birthday.....Thought it was wise not to mention the bike is a MX machine!!!! [/img]

Absolutely, saw the pictures on the news this morning, looked horrific.
