Thanks for that i will get it done this week

Recently read in tmx they held a trials event at Armthorpe m/p . I was wondering wether they allow us trials lads to use the area for practice ? Sat with everything crossed in anticipation of good news from you. Cheers Dave

EH OP ALL I have a gasser txt 280 and the rear tyre is getting worn, im thinking of turning the tyre round to get fresh edges. Is this a normal practice or am i just a tight yorkshire man. If there is any reason this shouldnt be done, i would be pleased to hear the reasons against. Cheers Dave

sorry for this question just found similar question posted earlier, and there is plenty of tips, so i will practice , practice, and hopefully crack it.

Eh op all Can anybody out there give me tips on how to bounce front & rear wheel. So i can face the other way in tight spots. I can raise both wheels but cant swing bike left or right , it just drops down near enough in same place . So any tips gratefully recieved.... Cheers ave one on me.

Eh op Grant There is a trials practice area at carcroft, Doncaster. It costs

Gordon my copy has a picture of riders boots & rear end of trials bike, with Trials Training Techniques and cross training tools written across it. But as the Addict says if it plays OK why worry

Eh op im looking for insurance for my gasser,ive heard of TPFT laid up and accidental damage cover is that what i should be looking for ? Or is there another type of policy thats better. cheers dave.

My exhaust muffler has split where the tyre rubs,is there a way to repair this problem with a kit or will i have to have a plate welded ? Any suggestions out there. cheers Dave
