The time zone difference kinda rules that out. I meant for the euro round at hawkstone?

Can Andy set something up? A link to Trials Central would be good with lap by lap scores?

Yes I think its 565 or 656 will checheck later. Copemech, I had an early 04 and I'm not sure that the later 04's are the same ignition at all. Would disagree about the torque as this ones the best so far, and its not retarded. Bear in mind Jarvis has a Dellorto now not a Kehin.

I know what you mean, but that van is much more than just for trials, Ive done 30,000 miles in 18 months, and its a long way from milton keynes to any decent sections! (Just chipped it too) Lets just hope that it (the monty) is here in time for the scott and my great mate Perce is hopefully sorting out a ride for us, thanks perce much appreciated. (its all for charity!) Monty 4 stroke at the scott, that would be a good test!

Not at all, I too spent a couple of days doing just what you said earlier this year and God has the missus given me grief for it ! However, here is a National Novagar Championship which the w o e club has chosen to put on and the trial should be good well marked out and organised.I know that being critical is not necessarily helpful but if I had travelled from the I o Man and then done a trial like this and then no results in TMX I'd want to say something. So to be constructive, it is essential the trial is well marked out, checked on the day, try to get a freindly rider to course check and route cards preferably with maps are issued to riders. 34 sections with some of these double subs is not enough for a Novogar championship. Routing riders through mud for no good reason outside sections is pointless. Results should be quick and at the very least for Champioships appear in some form in TMX, but definately on TRIALS CENTRAL. where are they? There seems to be a strange conspiracy where the moost feeble section of our sport, sidecars, gets a massive amount of TMX coverage completely unjustifiably.

Subira is "THE MAN" if you want trick mont bits.

are you taking the p***?

Oh all right a bit harsh but was it 34 sections and a few of these double subs? However TMX have surpassed themslves and the report this week takes the biscuit, perhaps noone knew it was a novogar round. TMX should be ashamed of themselves.

Have you tried Boysen reeds I love these on my 290.

Cos if dealers knew what the currency exchange rates are going to be in 6 months they wouldn't be Trials dealers, simple enough? Oh come on joined up thinking here please, IF dealers knew the actual price of the bike it would have to be in production or nearly so. We have had the photos of one prototype for just a week so if dealers have "a price" at best it can be a guess, if sandifords had a price and specifications it would not be in their best interests to have that as an open secret it would be in the form of a press release. For that to be possible Montesa would have told them what it would cost wholesale,and for that to be possible they would need to have a complete bike and know production costs, and as no ones seen one yet it seems a way off. We still don't know why the bike even appeared on the montesa usa website first, perhaps your dealer can answer that? Montesa fans and honda fans will buy them if there is no alternative, but fuel injection and fourstrokes are not for everyone, as is spending another

Got me thinking now, but if cody webb is 15 I am pretty sure he has to ride a 125cc unless the rules are bent, again it may be possible for him to ride but as a non competitive entry, better check the rules.

As the motors are not made yet and montesa have not put them together,

Apparently it was sh!te.

Above shows Vestys bike as owned by a pal of mine 83 I think. Front wheel was swapped for a honda one to get better braking I think rest is as vesty /reg modded it. I think Dave Renham has this bike currently on loan.

He can't enter a world round if he is only 15.

Excluded means no time allowance therefore sending first would not work.

Did you send Martin Belair his $4K?

Trial surfer I can't really follow your reasoning there who are you refering to as bitter and or jealous? Bitter about what and jealous of whom?

A tenner says they won't.

Possibly but think of it this way the American riders will get the same in Duluth.

Right of course, last tuesday no one even knew what it ( the one and only PROTOTYPE) now your mate knows the retail price, whatever................

more likely the 1st than the 8th.

The raga replica 04's are only just out so guess this was the 03/04 raga replica, should be lighter with a magnesium s/arm and other bits, cases?

So this is the standard production 250cc model with magnesium forks is it?
