Pre 65 Future & Pre 65 Rules
In a sport organised by unpaid volunteers, if you want to see changes made, it is you that is going to have to get involved in organising / scrutineering etc. I'm sure everyone wishes you well and will watch with interest.

drop down visor
Great for fast tracks like the Mamor Road where stones do get fired at you. It's also come in useful in high winds with rain etc

Can the position of the throttle be adjusted ? If looks to be about 90° out for comfortable use.

Pre 65 Future & Pre 65 Rules
"Would this be original enough? Don't think the handicapping of younger rides would work though to think it would kill of interest for people my age. I think I made it harder for myself actually riding an original framing greeves" Would handicapping really deter anybody ? If I only entered events I thought I could win, they would be very few and far between. Personally, I wouldn't handicap by age (as it has no relationship to ability) more by results. Maybe previous years first second and third are handicapped 3 for winning, 2 for second and 1 for third.

I have a tx one in pretty poor condition. Think they were the same ? I don't think it could be used.

Aprilia TXR 312 spare parts
There was an Italian guy on Facebook selling reproduction ones, they were very expensive. If the rubber is ok I'd carefully remove the element and glue together a replacement. Proper filter material is cheap on ebay.

Broken Connecting Rod? (2018 Beta Factory 300 2t)
Were all the spacers / dust shields etc, present when you did assembled it ? If any were missing this could easily be the culprit.

I'd assume that a thumb throttle is more intuitively on or off - ie - dumbing it down ??

Flooded engine
Engine is probably full of oil left when petrol evaporated. I'd kick it over with plug out, even drop some down the plug hole.

How To Check If A Motorcycle Is Stolen
The off road register scheme is at least 5 years old, I used it to identify if a bike I had just bought had been stolen. It transpired it was already registered and for £25 I got the original number back. Even a v5c in your name is " Not proof of ownership " Personally, I would never buy anywhere other than the sellers house / business. If your gut tells you to walk away, do it.

True wheel on bike
Sometimes during truing the wheel, a spoke head will protrude and in time puncture the tube. If you are just tweeting a few spokes you should be ok.
