wallo

Why oh why have you changed the rules yet again for your series? Why do you keep on trying to kill off the big British bikes?

I've been using a straight 40 oil from Morris for the engine, but it did take a long time to warm it up and get it moving round the engine given the very low temperatures at the weekend. Any advice on what I should change too given Jack Frost's appearance most mornings now. I have pre unit AMC lump...... Cheers

Did the ballot for this go ahead on Saturday? If so any news on who got in? Cheers

Charlie, please send me a message with the details and I'll sign up for it.

So in other words, it is the end of an era :-(

Is it just me or is anyone else seeing the beginning of the end for the larger pre units? Most the 'classic' trials these days are all geared towards the twin shocks, Bantams, and C15's. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not against the bikes or the riders, but will the heavier weight machines (and rider for that matter) have a place in classic trials in say 4/5 years time? I did a trial today (... up front I'm not the best rider in the world, far from it) and in my class there were about 4 entries (easy route, pre unit) out of a field of around 70. So, did I enter the wrong trial or do I need to change my machine? I think it's sad that there are only a few trials left where you can actually ride the bigger bikes and enjoy it. Maybe I'm just a sad old'ish fart but is it time to mouthball the heavyweight and buy a Bantam? Would be interested in hearing what others think.

Hello, I read much about people using a Villiers carb on their HT5 projects, so starting to think about whether it might be work experimenting with one on my 400cc G3. Is anyone out there using a Villiers carb on a 16M or G3 based machine? Any thoughts/comments as to size or mods for running a Villiers on an AMC bike? Thanks......

Thanks Mike, got one today :-)

Does anyone know where I can get a fibre glass or carbon fibre set of clutch covers for an HT5? Thanks

Many thanks, I'll give him a call.

I need to get a downpipe created for my Matchless G3, I currently use one of the SM out-of-the-box pipes but am looking to get a longer one with a bend to keep it tighter to the engine. Ideally stainless steel but not adverse to be of Titanium :-) Any recommendations as to who I could contact for this? Many thanks....

Can anyone please gve me advice about whether to use a clutch with an AMC gearbox without a cush drive, ie NEB. Is it a good idea, will using a clutch without a cush knacker the gearbox? Thanks
