Hi all, Does anyone have any information on the Cotswold BSA frames and the history around them. I also hear a lot about John Husband, did he build he a lot of bikes?

Got my number and starting time today, looking forward to the trail on Sunday. Passport fully stamped up, might even try a toll road to get there, sods law said the brake wear indicator would come on in the Vito, but hey ho should be OK to get me there and back. I'm #24 if anyone wants to say hello :-)

I rode in the Cotswolds Cups yesterday the 1st round of the 2014 Sammy Miller Champions, who was there himself on a BSA. The going was slippery to say the least but a good day out. Who else was there, are there any pictures?

Any results available yet?

Watch out for number 37, really looking forward to and getting a few tips from Andy Bamford Ariel is all sorted including new seat cover, after all you have to look good for the cameras :-)

GOV 132 lives, it was at Zona 1 last weekend with a 2 stroke engine

Thanks Jon, a Yamaha XT350, Sammy used one of the prototypes in his

Hi all, any advice for setting the tappers on an Ariel 500 short stroke? Does it Mae any difference if you have ally push rods?

Not quite the same though is it

Thanks gents, tried the Champion equivelent of the NGK B4ES at the weekend, very impressed :-) Will keep you posted......

I've been using an NGK B5ES in the Ariel (spark is thanks to Interspan unit) and was just wondering what everyone is running. I had a plug break down on Sunday and people are starting to say Champion are better that NGK etc etc. So I started wondering if the nose is the same would I be any better off using one of the new all singing all dancing plugs or just try a Champion equivelant? What is the preference NGK or Champion? Thanks

Yup, and looking forward to your trial on the 20th (still on I hope), There's trials at Golden Valley and Zona 1 this weekend will probably go to Zona 1

Anyone going to this on Sunday? I'm looking forward to it, looks like a good challenge from the videos they post from last years event.

All sorted, thanks to a very helpful person. I am happy again :-)

The clutch was slipping really bad when I trid to start her up on the second day of the Dartmoor trial. Took it apart and the fibre had worn right down on all of the plates, which surprised me as I've only done about 10 trials on it. Are there different types of plate I should get with a more hard wearing compound? I see you can get alloy friction plates which cost nearly £40 each (I think, maybe this is for a set) what's the advantage of using these over the steel one? I have 11 plates in total 6 fibre and 5 steels, has anyone tried mixing them up, so using some alloy some steel? Final question, where's the best place to get these from? All help much appreciated. Thanks

Get the six speed 150 Sport, and chip it, OH happy days......... .... but please don't forget the bike in the back :-)

Not sure where Lancashire is, but I think it's up North, I would try Mr Steve Gagg, all round nice guy and wine connoisseur.......

Some great pictures from last Saturday's trial at the Bonanza www.charliewooding.co.uk

In a word "No", will be there both days for the Euro Cup, observing on Saturday, riding on Sunday, looking forward to it. If you're interested, cleans are a quid, and a dab is 75p :-) A man has to make a living HT's are not cheap

I did manage to hold off for 2 months before thinking about starting another :-) I fancy building a unit BSA, so what's the best frame to get? I'm not interested in making it eligible for the Scottish, I just want to build something to ride and enjoy all year round. All help much appreciated, please PM me if you prefer. Thanks all.......

Trial aimed towards pre '65 it's at Horsley GL6 0QA, starts at 10:00 am

That's a car trial, the bike trial starts at 10:30

Who's coming to the Bonanza on the 29th June?
