This does seem crazy, sounds like the SE Centre have elected to go non stop so that they can break the Non stop rules all over again, surley if they let the hard route stop for seconds the novice route will also argue for the same privilege.

How many riders fling there bike in the van and drive hours to ride an event mostly well away from main roads , why, it's because they believe in the trial there going to ride, if they did'nt believe in that specific trial they would'nt of got out of bed. If the WTC current rules was in peoples hearts of hearts they would of splashed the cash no matter what the cost and time to get to fort william. In my mind it's all coming back to what the current set of wtc rules are.

On the subject of should the WTC become No stop yes ofcourse it should. I know people have pointed out it does'nt matter if the rules are stop or no stop because there will still be only a handfull of riders in the world that have the quality to ride them no matter what rule it is, this is true, however the run of the mill trials rider would just like to go and watch a WTC and be thrilled by what they see this does'nt seem to be happeneing or if it does it dont get talked about much, would the Fort william WTC still be going ahead next year if the rule was no stop, i believe it would simply because it takes a crowd to make the WTC viable and not so much how many riders are competing in it. Look at that red bull freestyle MX, another sport which just has a handfull of riders competing in that yet the stands are jammed.

I thought you was going to say whilst playing Tiddlywinks.

No good to me yet, i dont have a debit card and dont intend on getting one, how about ACU adding a pay by Paypal button.

Hilarious. http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/881019-health-and-safety-man-brought-down-to-earth-with-ladder-fail

Your bang on mate. With this modern bike era cake and eat it comes to mind.

And in some quarters this could be seen as rude young man

Sad Time. The Man is a Classic, one of the Trues.

And here she is old smiler. Thats Epic .

I would imagine if you hung onto this for another 30 years your get

Stag hunting is an interesting one, once hunted and killed they bring it to the roadside to cut up.

You have a website. Why? If it's not selling you then ditch it.

Do i go out drinking as much as i used to, Nope there's more important bills to pay at the moment, hav'nt you heard OTF we're in a double dip recession, just a shame we did'nt get out the first one before they announced the second one. Give it another 10 years then your have a full set at your Trials again.

Not got any Interest in the WTC whatsoever. They'd have to go back to Twinshock and heavy bikes for me to start booking hotels. Leave it for the youngsters if they enjoy it then let it be.

Yes Sir Try these people http://www.vintagetyres.com/display.asp?K=20110816_1324_000573&sf_01=keyword&sort=sort_size&st_01=350.18&x=30&y=11&m=2&dc=4 I have one on a fantic 50 and just about to pu one on a TLM 50. There the closest your going to get to the original 350.18 Trial tyre,the rubber quality is pretty good.

Something Old,Something New,Something Borrowed,Something Red. Yep you've got a real Tart on your hands there Ivor. Good news you have sparks again.

Thanks for the words of advice fatchef,think i'll also settle for the 65cc set up,it seems a shame to go and butcher a very nice little Trial bike to much. What carb set up you using the standard?

That will be an interesting reply.

I think the award for the tightest trialer has to go to the one that put that mess in.Why would someone do this?? I would take the wise step and try and grab the 200 engine thats on ebay at the moment,you might still have the fixings on your case so the original stator will fit if not you have the cases from the new engine.

Try this place. Ditch the tent and rent the cottage. http://www.bikersrest.com/

Did we ever find out if the MTX80 air cooled Cylinder fits onto the Tlm50 crankcase's. Athena do a air cooled cylinder of 115cc that fits on to the MTX80 Engine. Just picked up a nice little Tlm50 myself,and looking to beef it up a little.

As you know the last 3 could'nt even if they wanted to,but im sure the first 4 would/have used that title name if it meant they or those that hired them could make money from there titles name well after there retirement from the European stage. You said in one of your posts our guys are where they are until someone better comes along,your right and it will happen in the next few years so what do our currents do retire or semi fund themselves to be there. There just very unlucky to be in the era of Bou and thos coming up behind them.

Would be interesting to see which one breaks away first to one of the other motorcycle disciplines. it seems a shame to waste that riding talent on a Trials bike knowing your never going to have the word World Champion attached to your name at the end of your career.

I must be weak minded i joined them.
