I dont think that it would be a good idea to go changing it now but it just bugs me. Its fine, just hope the emergancy services know where to go if they is ever an acident.
Can I please just say that the so called Addingham Moorside where they are the disputes about the land riding rights is not actualy called (Addingham Moorside). It has bugged me for years now and I have lived in Silsden all my life along with other generations and it is most deffinetly not called the Addingham Moorside.
For starters it isnt actualy on the Addingham side of the moor, it is on the Silsden side. Addingham Moorside is actualy sighn posted about a mile further down the road towards Addingham.
I think people that dont live around here and dont know what it is called have just called it that because of the sighn a mile down the road that acualy points to the real Addingham Moorside, then put this on there entry forms so now thats what every body calls it.
When I competed In British Championship pushbike trials about 4 years ago now a lad had a nasty fall at the "Addingham Moorside" round and landed hard on is Back. He was very shaken and looked to be in a hell of a lot of pain. They were worrys that he could have seriusly damaged is back.
So the event organiser called 999 and for an Ambulance and told them where they was, "Addingham Moorside".
Half an hour later the Ambulance Driver had to contact the event organiser has they were at Addingham Moorside but nobody was there.
The Ambulance Driver had actualy gone to Addingham Moorside not were the trial was.
For generations now, to local people, and folk that live in Silsden the part of land that is so called "Addingham Moorside" is realy known has the Nab!
Well first of all you park at the side of the road so its worth getting there in decent time to get a good spot. Loads of room like, but you dont want to be treking half a mile up the road just to enter and collect your number.
You first ride through a couple of fields down into the wood were ther were half of the sections will be. Most of the sections are in the rocky beck and up and down and around the muddy bankings. Not too bad at the start but once you come to your second lap with all the water from the beck being washed up they become a tad harder (VERY MUDDY)!
So you work you way through the first 5 or so sections to the top were to exit the wood they is a faily steep hill climb, not a section tho! Its quite funny to watch some of the less experianced riders try and make it out but it is the only way to get out of the wood to the next sections. Next you have a bit of a ride over moor type land down to the next beck/stream the last sections will be around here on rocky out crops and in the beck back to were you begin.
Usualy it is 4 laps of 10 sections and can get away with just nipping back to the van mid way through the trial and toping up the fuel. Its not a long distance trial so no need for the camleback but it is a nice bit of a ride tho.
Just expect the wood to become realy muddy because it is before you start anyway.
Hopefully I shall be riding seeing that I have all ready pre entered and payed but I have just got back from A&E with Spraind tendom in my wrist. We shall just have to see.
Thinking about splashing out and geting my self a Hydraulic lift Maintenance stand to save me the bother of bending down all the time when working on my bike. I currently have one of them normal stands that the bike sits on but the wheels are hardly of the ground and I personaly think it would be much easyer to work on the bike if it was at a more suitable hight.
Loking at getting booked in to an hottel, thinking of going for the Premier travel inn! Has any body stayed at the premier travel inn before for the scottish? Any good? Any suggestions of other places to try?
Can anybody tell me how they have there Keihen carb set up on there 08 250 rev3?
I havent touched mine since ive got the bike but yesterday was the third time out on the bike and it was pinking badly and kept stalling like it was being starved of fuel.
Im going to take the carb of to see if they is any dirt and give it a good cleen out.
While ive got it apart tho Im going to check to see what jets it has in and I want to check the float hight!
What needle hight are people running theirs on?
Which jets are you using?
What should the float hight be and how do tou check it on a Keihen carb?
How you have your mixture set and wich way do you go to make it richer and leaner?
Sorry about all the questions but i have no experiance with the Keihen carb, Just the fuel spilling Mikuni!!!!
Being trying to get hold of some Jitsie carbon fork guards for my new Beta Rev3. Nobody seems to have any in stock. Can anybody suggest places to try??
