  1. well done to Jonathan Richardson winning the Junior WTC final round, think its his first podium too.
  2. yes it would seem light after that.
  3. nigel dabster

    Ohlins

    mine is 0281 16/75 L3210
  4. I was too and it is a good natural venue with a great variety of hazards.(the air strip landings were something else!!!) What I think is surprising considering the experience of that 2009 event why the mont HRC guys didn't get Bou to shadow Raga and get a move on before the rain. That could have been Dougies 100th win had it not been mechanical/mechanic failure.
  5. yamaha havn't made a bike designed for trials since the tyz,afaik? this kenichi bike is a breathed on scorpa with a wr engine, which badged as a scorpa just didn't sell, why would you wish a failure on any manufacturer?
  6. No one knows but as any buisness has to make money they wont be producing a competitive bike any time soon.
  7. has it had the fuel filter done?
  8. I have no idea but logic says that yamaha will never produce a trials bike ever again. I did have a conversation albeit secondhand that half the reason Scorpa was in difficulty in the first place was the very high unit cost of the old TYZ unit. Again logic dictates and you surely dont have to be an insider at yamaha that even with the tooling the cost to set up a production run of say 1000 units (very optomistic anyway)would make it inhibitive, and thats for a big out of date lump. This is why I think that the honda and yamaha engines are based on current production motors?
  9. cos he is a sponsored yamaha japan rider rides in the jap champs on this so why wouldnt he ride?
  10. So freixa is like kenichi except on a 2t and as he beat fajardo on the ossa the scorpa is good? I'm confused? BTW have you ever been to cahors?
  11. I don't think thats a fair comparison, kenichi is a top rider and was riding in his home gp with nationalistic support. The ossa has not been 100% reliable this year and fajardo has been beaten down the order at many other rounds. If the bike had been any good scorpa would still be in buisness.
  12. As above they usually stick to the gasket so a very gentle tap with a soft mallet is all that is required!!!!!!!!!
  13. oh yes with the added tank capacity, good spot.
  14. saw a 4rt with long ride seat in spain so they are available.
  15. So my 07 4rt was a figment of my imagination then??????????????? if you think a gas gas will work at that elevation without modifications to the carb you know nowt. 05 for sale here too http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Montesa-4rt-Trails-Bike-/170688674331?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item27bdd67a1b
  16. not going to beat a fi bike at those altitudes.
  17. nigel dabster

    Ohlins

    my number is different to that,00281 is the same though will check tomorrow the rest.
  18. which is half the reason the wtc is in so much trouble? I know he's good but the suspension on that thing is amazing aswell. Would be good to know how much that thing weighs.
  19. Sorry would have tried to make it down but can hardly drive at mo shoulder due op Sept 5th Trying to hook up with ringo in LA but not sure there's enough warm beer!
