  1. Can't beat a stable existence !! Incoming .... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/01/16/thirteen-siblings-found-chained-starving-california-home-say/
  2. I thought changing the length of the shocks, was changing the steering head angle the easy way ??

    New Boots

    At beginning of trial, stand in water about 6" deep for as long as it takes to get boots saturated. Then ride trial, should be broken in by end. Dry in a cool draughty place. (this doesnt work for lorica as it doesnt seem to hold any water)
  4. Damage to flora and fauna is becoming more of an issue, every year. In many of the national parks you are not allowed to cycle or run !! Interestingly, where bikes have created / maintained a path, in the event of a forrest fire, the path forms a natural barrier and can help control spread.

    Stolen Betas

    The police probably have a haphazard system I have no doubt, but trials organisers have no access to it, so how would they check vins ?
  6. Try starting without choke, if it does its flooding.
  7. I think it was suggested that acu should support up and coming riders by increasing the license fee in line with Spain !
  8. @greychapel Would you be prepared to pay £300 a year for a license ? The fee isn't popular with a lot of Spanish riders, and would probably kill the sport in the UK.
  9. @ironbelly It is an open forum !! I've just never found the argument "if you disagree with me you must be jealous," a very convincing one.
  10. I have used leather boots from many manufacturers, they all get soft and lose some protection, when saturated. Sidi, being made of Lorica, don't seem to suffer from this. I initially found them a bit clumsy, but soon got used to them. Definitely the best protection I've experienced. (Incidentally, they are small, go up one size)
  11. @rootsman2 why not look him up on facebook and ask ?
  12. afaik - Andy's rule book - no text speak !!!!!!
  13. Notable trials coming up in 2018 - Pre65 Scottish and SSDT. http://www.ssdt.org Highland 2 Day http://www.idmcc.co.uk/highland-classic-trial/ To compete in either of these, your biggest issue is going to be insurance. Both events would require re-patriation of some sort, usually from your governing body, IF that can be arranged ! Check this out first as your medical history will have a significant impact.
  14. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1482177598544614&id=128985493863838&set=a.427873350641716.1073741825.128985493863838&source=48 A complete mixture, pre 65 2stroke first, Cub 4t second, TRS third, twin shock, modern 2t, its all down to the rider IMO.
  15. At a recent trial at Hope Farm, Northumberland, on the expert course 17 of the 19 riders were on 2 stroke - the winner was on 4t.
  16. Reducing the diameter by,say,200g. Or removing 200g from the depth will have very different results.
  17. J B Weld is pretty good for small repairs.

    Stolen Betas

    Doesn't sound like you have much faith in the police ? What database will the VIN's be checked against ?
  19. Metal inserting plastic shield ?
  20. Depends on the terrain, I use 5th & 6th off road regularly.
  21. b40rt

    not starting

    Air leak ? Tighten jubilee clip on engine side of carb.
  22. During a postage stamp trial, maybe. Real trial, 6 sensibly spaced gears are always better than 5.
