Have you got standard jetting?

Joe baker as announced in tmx I think is giving trials a rest (selected events) and having a go at enduros this year sponsored by a ktm dealer in cumbria.

You can get a bead to re seat with a footpump if you have a beader.

You pay vat you reclaim it, period. But you must give them the difference of what you recieve. Which could lead me on to how someone not a million miles away from the trials world cottoned on and actuallly bought a roller thenks to HM Customs vat reclaims.

Clean banjo?

didn't pay it there,have no buisness there. couldn't therefore when back in the uk pay it to anyone as the van vat free was purchased from a belgian, ie no one to pay it to. However when I registered them, both required signing a seperate sheet to say I would "account" for the vat in my returns, think again I gave my vat number. So I never actually "paid" vat at all. What I can't work out is how some dealers in spain can send bikes to the uk vat free when I had to jump through a few hoops. Personally without a decent warranty I would never buy a trials bike this way its not worth it. Second hand I wouldn't chance it.

o0h yes oh yes

Surely the member state of supply was belgium (for the van)? Didn't pay vat there as I'm registered. And didn't pay vat here either.

Think there are lots of grey areas, no vat paid on my vans either in Belgium or the uk, it was accounted for here although not paid or reclaimed. legally you can import without vat if you give the exporter a valid VAT number but I understand this doesn't always happen. I had to DHL my passport too!! If you have registered a bike recently with no mention of vat, then I am amazed as I had to jump through hoops at the dvla in luton 18months ago, and that was a shirty bike. One way or another everything requires vat to be paid on it, except the obvious childrens clothes etc, although thats another anomily as it is due in parts of the eu except the uk!

Secondhand and registered equals vat paid?

Paralell imports seem to come into the uk with no VAT paid, it is usually paid by the importer. I imported a couple of vans and paid the vat( or rather accounted forit) when registering. My feeling is the vat would be "overdue" on a second hand bike not imported through shirty, for which you will be liable, ie the tax due on this bike hasn't been paid.

MAKE SURE YOU DO TRY IT FIRST.

Thats a yes then? Well a welcome addition to the tough junior class.

There will be a number of sections with an easier route, maybe ten I think Stu Robinson said. So yes.

Usually the palais desportes, I think, and the ticket office at el corte ingles (Spanish equivalent of john lewis) has them I'm pretty sure.

Easy tiger its the season of goodwill you know!

So will Smage be doing the WTC in 09 or not?

Difficult when they aren't for sale.

Any tips?

Shetland stig eh!

explain the tag!!!!

Exhaust needs repacking by sound of it.

That is just not true. The Normandale series is for four classic classes, plus moderns, if it had been well supported in the first place no over 40's and then last two years over 50's would have been added. Sammy series has just just old bikes?

Then it was gone.............

Please explain the tagline?
