there are but not that close to london. Wait a month and everything could change?

I would bite the bullet and invest in a 250 cylinder head and piston. easy swap and you can then sell on or keep next time, so much of the initial cost would be recovered one way or another. By the time you sell or swapin the 300 etc its going to cost you more anyway.

Its definately the set up you have, I had 290's and 300s for years thought that was best but a 250 does everything you need if youre not wtc.

250 gp's come with both heads

whats a ts 300?

When did you last take the carb apart?

You really dont understand that do you? (Look back at British Championship events in the golden age of the 70's marks lost then were usually nearer a 100) (Its you're not your btw)

im done here you are not listening, read back your previous post where you mentioned BGT on a saturday night, you did mention tv.

what is worth it? If you want the best bike or car then thats what you want, does it save you any marks, probably not but thats not why you want it? By the same rule no manufacturer would ever produce an enhanced model, but they all do. You pays your money and you takes your choice (sic)

does it?

118 is close. you need someone who knows about carbs to set it up for you, really you do.

@b40rt why confused?

You are making a leap from being able to ride something hard to not being interested in watching it. As illustrated above thats just not logical. BTC at the rounds Ive been to recently a fair few spectators. Its clearly not for everyone but whats the alternative? Were not discussing TV are we, that was an analogy.

No one has said it works well or a winning formula, its a compromise and simply the hardest route for the best riders, several have tried respectfully to explain this but just cos you disagree doesn't mean youre right? Decreasing the severity will not increase overall participation by one rider afaik, who would jump up from the second route and would the top WTC lads just not bother with the BTC that was dead easy? Can trials survive without an elite class, of course it can. Is it good for the sport to have a world and British elite class, well yes. Many in the sport or business want it. My biggest objection to your point and dismissal of the BTC or WTC is that if anyone is ever good enough aren't they entitled (pun intended) to have a crack at the best and see if they can ride at a level 99.99% of us can only dream of, and who would want to stop them in our sport?

There will never be a big entry because only a few can ride it. Havent you answered your own question?

My best bike ever compared to?

One of the most underrated and under valued twin shocks. Only weak spot is kick start if that feels good buy it!! ( and i dont like montesas!!)

there are 3 settings on the clutch this might affect drag

It may simply be tickover or adjustments, do you have a keihin on it or dellorto? more likely float height as above.

You must have been very very bad. If its a genuine kehein if you want to sell it dm me please.

Good thoughts and words. (As an aside the term "lemmings" is often misused, they are a migratory species who simply follow their instincts, not each other) I agree we CAN trial outside with the usual precautions but we should be very careful when doing so, and measure the risks.

Life is not about perception if you surround yourself with people and friends exactly the same as you. This is how racists are bred and people say things about others they know nothing about with little thought for those less fortunate than themselves through no fault of their own. Clearly you are wrong about covid as despite advice and guidence from the government the fact they didnt make rules and regulations early enough, just advice, restrictrictions and quarrentine, track and trace etc resulted in the general population doing things other than responsible actions you think they might or taking simple advice. in fact probably the best example is Dominic Cummings visit to barnard Castle to test his eyes for an hour with his baby in the car. 65,000 excess deaths say the opposite - people need to be told what to do and this needed to be enforced. Cheltenham and the madrid liverpool football games reinforce the stupidity of people who never think of the bigger picture or act responsibly, as you suggest they should. What one American once suing macdonalds has got to do with trials is another analaogy which is way off. we have a great sport, supported by older and sometimes underlying health conditions, which was my original point. We need to be responsible with their health and not to take unnecessary risks imho.

i think that alot of the hopping by less able riders got them into more trouble.

swap carbs?
