Elusive Xispa
Admin edit: Keep it factual please. Whilst we may not have heard of this importer, it does not give anyone the right to discredit them.

Is Xispa In The Uk (united Kingdom)?
You obviously did'nt read that bit Atom,jag was coming to the end in the 90's thats why they dumped it on to ford. Ok back on topic then. If Xispa ever made it into production what marque would we put it in?

Is Xispa In The Uk (united Kingdom)?
This is the thing in mid marque there at the top but in top marque there at the bottom,mass market mean's they've become common.So how i see it they've dropped down in there rating's to mid marque. I remember when i went on holiday to greece in the late 80's every taxi was a merc in the uk at the same time every taxi was a ford or something worse and a drive in a merc for me at that time was like a dream,now in 2008 in the uk your starting to see taxi driver's driving merc's,that tell's me they've become cheap to buy and a common sight. you can buy a new renault today that has everything inside that a merc has.How would you rate renault,mid marque. I guess thats the reason why ford bought jaguar they wanted a top marque in the uk to market, but it did'nt realy work for them.

Maserati don't have a low end range,well not one a common person like myself could afford anyway. Although merc come out with a few specials now and again i would still rate them as mid marque now.

Hahaha,your wife sound's sort of sensible. Come on open your eye's out there Atom,there's merc's everywhere out there or maybe you don't notice them is because there nothing special to look at anymore,you could pick up a half decent modern one for 4 grandish these day's. In the 50's to 70's thats when merc made the head turner's.

Now there's 2 car maker's well over estimated. In the 80's and 90's the common people drove ford escort's and fiesta's,in the 2000's the common people drive merc's and chrysler's.

Did'nt xispa announce themselve's awhile ago that some or most of the parts for bike was made in china.Unless they've changed there mind's and are now sourcing all there parts from europe.
-
Is Xispa In The Uk (united Kingdom)?
They might be cheaper to make in china,problem xispa have now is they have to to move the thing's from china half way around the world to the punter,and obviously that take's fuel,added with everything else that's gone up it's rather killed there launch of a cheap bike.

British Experts Coverage
Are these high profile Trial's even being talked about at the twice monthly get together club Trial by people. Since i've been logging onto TC for the last 4 yrs or so the talk on the forums by joe rider about such Trial's has more or less stalled,what im trying to say is you could have as much pro press release's as you like on the board's to hype such Trial's up,but if you don't have joe rider talking about them any longer then yes there is a problem of lost interest,and no fancy press release is going to mend that.

Sun Inn 3 Day Classic Trial - Aug Bank Holiday
Hi Lee. You decided to rough it then,sorry i had to opt for the farm house with a nice bed in it just down the road. On the reg's it say's on the camping site there's an SAS style toilet and water if you don't mind pumping it out the ground yourself,i've been told thats normal for up that way. Anyway after my nice hot shower i'll come back down to the site and join you for a beer in the evening. Just checked the reg's it say's there is loo's and water on site.so you should be ok for the basic's. Im down for riding the twinshock class,i guess your have to ride the same class as we've got money on this one.

Montesa 4rt On Bike Rack On Peugeot Partner
I would have thought it would be safer and out the eye's of chav's to put the bike inside the van (can we still use the word chav's) anyway what ever way you look at it you still have to lift the bike roughly the same height what ever way you decide.

Fantic 200 Engine Issues
30's the choke 47 is worth looking at as well,i think thats the one lee was talking about. to be honest the choke don't need to stay on long once it's fired up,i just use my choke to start up from cold then it goes off straight after start up,as lee says probaly carb need's looking at,if it's been standing for awhile

Do You Compete Or Ride For Fun?
Maybe excuses was the wrong word It might of sounded better if i said that's "3 very poor reason's". If people are finding it more fun to practice then as you say that's all well and good but it ain't doing the future of Trials much good,if we all decided to go and practice and bin the Event's end of game.Mind you having said that maybe Trials need's a good flushing out so the Fun aspect can be had by all at the same Trial once again.

Do You Compete Or Ride For Fun?
Lee, i better not mention im going to ask you for a ride of your bike after the Trial then,,,i might lose the bet,
