But they don't compete against each other in competition, do they ? Football - never heard of her ! F1 - classic example of changing the rules and ruining the sport. Were there not "special tests" from the beginning ? Blackford Hill on ssdt Saturday had the stop and restart "section" in the 70's. Goodwood for Ferrari etc, that I would attend. That ship has long sailed. This would be similar to "reforming" all sports using a ball into a single group ?

Not sure if change is the solution, or the problem ? Name another sport that has completely contradicted its original concept to appease the minority ?

Breather, maybe ?

To turn this around, can you list WTC events that aren't huge step, pause, huge step - repeat ? Those would be the ones I'd be interested in.

Plenty of info on here on how to take the "edge" off if it's a bit lively. Slow action throttle and dropping the gearing being the easiest/ cheapest. Check if this has been done already.

There is a video somewhere on YouTube, not sure if its an original conversation, or a replica.

Apart from Carlos Casas and many others in the ssdt, and Javier Cruz, Javier Gil, Carlos Bosch and at least another ten in the pre 65 and highland 2 day ....?

Additionally, remove ignition casing on older 2 strokes and dry any condensation.

Irrespective of intentions, observers making up rules is the route of the problem.

What oil and quantity ?

It would be fantastic for the ssdt, and Bou. I very rarely watch his trick riding with the super enthusiastic " entourage " but would love to see him perform in a more authentic trial.

Alternatively, if Bou rode the ssdt and didn't win .....

Bottom half the same, no problem. Climbers engines can be converted to air cooled.

The easiest would be an Aprilia tx / txr as the motor fits straight in.

Does he only date fantic, or other Italian bikes as the name suggests ? I'd like to date an Aprilia. Cheers

Fantic 200 / swm, maybe I misunderstood, do they not share marzocci forks and yokes, grimica hubs and brake plates ? Not relevant ?

@evo boy no reaction ? Would you like me to come and fix it for you ?

Come on @nzpeterb you asked the same question on facebook, are you going to get involved in the debate you chose to start ?

Many riders that carry rucksacks/bum bags, leave them at the end of the section, at least on the first lap. Nothing wrong with carrying a clutch lever, particularly on longer laps. In a trial like the pre65 many carry a front tube (it can be used in either wheel, if tube type) plus plastic pump. Levers ect can be zip tied to the bike to keep the weight on the bike.

ATF works well in primary case, can't remember the quantity but its not much. @timdog I found putting a bit of slack in the clutch cable before first starting when its been sitting makes a huge difference.

On swm's it is a pretty standard mod, gives a better cable run and stops the outer sawing through the yokes.

Rupert Ratio book would be worth buying, all the info you will ever need.

How much is a competition licence in Spain ?
