if you like the style of the ossa buy a vertigo.

Fancy Kick Starter Lever
no different attachment (the splines are obviously not the same), guess the bottom is custom made which is common practice on pre 65's

315 Pistons
make sure its not one of their own, they have been know to give up after a couple of hours. If it is a gilardoni and a part number can you share these please? Can you compare to the original and either post a photo side by side or let us know if its the same? Does it look like the piston has been machined? Sorry for all the questions but if it fits and works = major breakthrough in the 315 world!!!

Trial GP - the good, the bad and the ugly
Try paying $22 (£20 ish) dollars to park in disney land then youll know what being ripped off is. Agree 2 days agree trade stands. Prfessional observers are fine, but what natioanality? Hotel for 3 nights minimum and board and lodgings at each round would add alot more than you think?

Finding Gas Gas parts
Boll@cks. I've been doing rim bands since 03. I will give you mine to do if it's that easy, I've done 3 on new rims recently, and SOMETHING isn't as it should be, nothing to do with my technique. How many have you done on which bikes recently?

Toby Martyn
This was some years ago, and somewhere there was a video of Matteo's bike sucking in a huge gobful of water as he went into a deep part of a stream crossing and hydraulicted (Sp) and blew the head off. I was there at the time and saw it.125 youth WTC Maybe 2008? Regardless after last week's win as Andy has said Toby has only to finish second It didn't decide much as he finished the day a lowly 5th, maybe 3rd in championship in the end.

he will need all the help he can get in italy.

Matteo (italians) have form. A blown up engine on section 5 didnt stop 3 cleans in the next 3 sections, and despite evidence, no one locally was at all interested. he finished 5th and it will always stick in my mind that regadless they always look after their own.

OOF!!!
you are not allowed to re fuel out on the course so would have required a return to pits. Also to run as low as possible is a weight thing i guess?

he really skips the actual mechanics of getting the tape into the groove which is much much harder than he intimates, and i most have great difficulty getting it sealed whereas the old style, which is a completely different compound i could do every time relatively easily.

Not one to suggest anything underhand might happen in Italy in the final round, but I'd be surprised if Matteo doesn't win the event.

Piuma green frame colour
doubtful uk suppliers would have that code?
-
Finding Gas Gas parts
o rings from gas gas uk, unless you can find size, then get red ones.
-
Finding Gas Gas parts
the tape is not a gasser part its the same for all makes that age. The only trouble is getting an old style tape the new ones come with integrated valve and just dont seal easily. if at all.

Piuma green frame colour

Flywheel puller

OSSA TR280 GEARBOX
@ric h I am not trolling. Clearly any kind of post about Ossa gearboxes should come with a health warning, or at least some kind of justification of why you would even post this without any kind of reason or purpose?

IRC Winner trials tyre codes
pretty sure there was a problem a couple of years back but june (ish) 17 thought was ok? What bike and whats different?

Which one would you buy?
and an answer based on a very very small minority is probably not helpful, and of all the people who say buy electric, like you, have ACTUALLY bought one?

315r or rev 3
an old beta or an old mont, no contest Montesa everytime.
