  1. Some cheap silicon has water content, more expensive has acetone, I have used silicon on my B40 primary chain case for many years, and cant say I have noticed oxidization in the that area.
  2. Thought it was at Christmas ? Remember at the time being surprised they let us ride in there, I think the steps you remember were in the burn below the ruin of the old house, there were also sections going in and out of the burn, the banks were near vertical and 2or3 feet high. Ross
  3. Only complaint thats valid is if the observer is not following the rules, you cannot complain if you dont like your score.
  4. Sanitary silicon is a good sealant. Personally I never pressure wash anything.

  6. till your too fat to splat
  7. I thought those "specialist" magazines were our common bond ! By the way, loved that you tube you sent me :-
  8. Didnt watch, but did he mention checking if there was enough clearance between the caliper & rim ? eg (my)406 Peugeot had so little clearance that you could not use stick on wheel balance weights,
  9. any chance you were followed ? might be a place to start looking ! mention to the police who you bought it from, they may be known. just a thought.

    petrol

    clean carb, jets probably partly blocked.
  13. Think the Vincent was cantilever, but had 2 shocks side by side to save space.
  14. Alot of trials are multi route, so say three no stop routes, three stop routes, might not be easy to lay out or observe ?

    Stopped running !

    If your plugs not wet look to the carb, might get away with draining it in situ, but better to strip and blow through every orifice with an air gun, or carb cleaner, or WD40, etc

    If the flywheel moves, ie when the key sheers the timing is out. Is the plug wet, have you tried mix down the plug hole ?

    1 Is the plug wet ? 2 Change the plug, they don't always work when under compression. 3 Flywheel / woodruff key ?
  18. I was going to suggest a XT / TT 600, decent suspension, and quite good off road if you move the footrests back. Still quite a long way down to earth though. All sorts of weird & wonderful parts available from Touratech.
  19. Unfortunately a bit to far for me to travel, but this is exactly the sort of information required to attract riders to an event they haven't ridden before and not sure if suitable .
  20. How about "Regress to the Future" or was that a film with Marty McFly ?
