  1. Been here since the old site, what was it 14 years ago? so again fact check that Joni nouy come lately
  2. oh no how interesting you are please tell us. Was it when you realised you knew everything?
  3. To say lets go back in time and do it like the 70's 80's or whatever is naive in the extreme. Nothing will ever bring back trials bike sale to any level of even 20 % of the 70's, theres just too many other things to do and motorcyling isnt even a thing for the vast majority of youngsters. The fundamental thing is that a novice first time rider is not capable of anymore than they were 40 years ago, regardless of the improvements in bikes over the same time. What has improved year on year is the standard of the top guys. This is why we have so many routes even in club trials.
  4. accuracy isnt @oni nou s strong point. couldnt find it anywhere either
  5. I saw 2 bikes up close last week as above is just a sherco with orange, but seems like its got more go.
  6. i think tear down. I have reduced my gear lever as much as i can so it breaks first, no help to you but poi.
  7. The observer was marking these stops as stops all day.
  8. The crowd were absolutely aware because the pa announcer told them the situation.
  9. Not only does he have sponsors he is a paid policeman. He doesn't actually work that much though so I understand.
  10. As i see it Gratterola (or anyone else as a similar 30 year old not quite made it in top class) is taking the place of a youngster on the way up, he could never beat Gubian Wigg Gomez in a championship when he was there first time round, and to my way of thinking hes a pot hunter.
  11. Gratterola will stay trial 2 and stop another youngster his moment of fame
  12. Allegedly marcelli fived a section yet the observer gave him a clean. Blatant cheating which resulted in police being drafted in I heard.
  13. Thanks will be appreciated by many I'm sure.
  14. The point you're missing is the 3 day, the scott and the ssdt are all fiercly competitive and whether its in a championship or not the same top riders will always want to COMPETE. A WTC is important to be the pinnacle of our sport and give the upcoming youth something to aim for, and to believe that when they win, as many British riders have, they are the best in the world. Good luck to Toby Martin btw in Italy next week. I would say the absolute opposite that most trials riders do take an interest, albeit a take it or leave it attitude, they will look at results etc.
  15. compact no seats works fine lwb you can sqeeze in 2 with seats. How many seats do you need? Ive made a custom bracket in my lwb so can fit just one seat which means we can get 3 in easily. Pal of mine moved seats forward in his lwb that worked well, a fair bit of work as he took all the lining out too.
  16. if you like the style of the ossa buy a vertigo.
  17. no different attachment (the splines are obviously not the same), guess the bottom is custom made which is common practice on pre 65's
  18. good luck! let us know how it goes, if you have any trouble call on and on and oni nou
  19. 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!!!
