nigel dabster

if the fantic is so good why do we see so many frames altered?

no one in the uk is importing now Im sure vince at Haven has stopped.

If Don Smith asked for a 5 on a section "others" were dabbing there must have been more going on than you think. Sammy on an ariel in 1970? I dont think so.

So it was super soft? what other (super soft) bikes did you compare when analysing grip?

treading a thin line there michael

If there are problems with the bike, supply difficuties or whatever it doesnt matter how good the pr is @michael_t it wont sell. Steve saunders tried and tried and in the end gave up and it was nothing to do with pr. @philmario unless you are comparing it directly with other nodels its not an objective assesment, and may well be the perfect bike for you. Lets hope nothing unavailable breaks.

its only a loss because he didnt comply with a simple request. Instead of bemoaning his loss you should be telling him to put things right and why?

He broke the rules, so it was his own fault.

I spoke to raptor they said there design had been copied and they were no longer making them.

is the trs 4th the same as a gas gas?

most southern trials with some decent ground this time of year and testing sections 4 is better than 3, postage stamp or not, so I agree 6 is better.

if you dont have the right gear you dont have it regardless of skill.

its not the number of gears but the usable gears in sections.

complete rubbish, in theory a 300 is no difference in weight maybe lighter? how can it be harder?

i thought somone had copied raptors ?

when you say true @mink_man, up and down or side to side?

im sure its more to do with holding the bars with the first index finger than anything else. weird

Local 4 lap trials? Please dont get me started.

Without a doubt a smaller rider of equal strength,fitness,endurance and ability would ultimately perform slightly (power to weight) better. but its only at the very top level.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY, its a personal thing which make suits you.

everyone makes their own engines except montesa who have Hondas. (Scorpas were yamaha) Its the age of the OSSA that would put me off as its an early one its much more likely to fail.

Shercos are made in Spain @mrturtle

Thank you @on it for your mechanical insight.

I think some people like you @on it will moan and complain and probably are better off playing anyway. If you need an explaination, the reason why I dont bother too much with trials around here is simply the quality of terrain, and access to suitable spots, you are so lucky where you are its a shame you dont realise it...... and if you think its cos Richmond is "different" Im guessing you dont know what real trials are. For the best part of 10 years i struggled with one other person to secure a piece of land for a practice area in Milton Keynes which is as good as it gets imho round here, so I dont need any advice from you either. Whether I know best is neither here nor there but clearly its time for you to see things more objectively?

...but 3rd rider in the team? Perhaps he was given no choice?
