    The air filter is a pain to get at if you have large hands. (get your wife/girlfriend to change the filter element ). I've put some open cell foam in front of the airbox which seems to stop any loose mud etc getting in there.
  2. My 198B is xxx3946
  3. I hope they are in the top ten, but I think the younger riders will begin to displace the likes of Fuji etc and if Karlsson and Casales dont miss rounds this time they are nailed on top ten. I may be right. I may be wrong.......
  4. 1. Bou 2. Raga 3. Busto 4. Fajardo 5. Casales 6. Cabestany 7. Fuji 8. Ferrer 9. Tarres 10.Karlsson
  5. One thing that does seem to be getting people onto trials bikes for the first time is the experience days that Inch perfect are running. They are blessed with a fantastic piece of land in a beautiful part of the world, but they also seem to have tapped into a lot of latent demand. Good clubs locally for the newbies to get going with too - Lancs County, Darwen, Bolton, Rochdale etc.
  6. Lee, you'll find a good deal of the same riders knocking about at Rochdale, Bolton and Darwen trials from when you were riding. No South Lancs club though.
  7. Sprocket does make it look dumpy at the back end. Will photograph it properly once it's fully sorted. I'm after another tank so that I don't ruin the new one on it. Doesn't matter if it is tatty. Anyone got a spare they want rid of?
  8. Another one preserved for posterity. Not 100% finished, but not far off!

    It's a knurled end that you do with your fingers already. I just struggle with being able to get my hand into the box to place the filter correctly.

    Turns out the screw, part 34 above was missing and the filter rattling loose in the airbox. Rode a very wet trial at the weekend with only a small amount of splash into the box. Will be putting some coarse open cell foam in the gap in future. There's a knack to get the filter fastened in particularly if you're big handed!

    Hmm, no screw on mine, just a hole in the middle of the plastic disc which will let unfiltered air through.

    Just trying to do basic maintenance on the new steed. Found the air filter was just loose in the box and can't get it to seat into the outlet. Doesn't help that my hands are too big to fit in the box. Any pictures about of how it should fit. Also the rad cover sits very close to the rad itself, definitely needs a mudflap fitting on the front mudguard.
  13. 13 billion is certainly a typo. 13 million more like it.

  15. The brand, factory, production facilities etc. Have a look on trialworld.es .
  16. So the bids are in . Torrot top bidder €9.7m, Sherco third at €2.7m. Looking like production will get going again.
  17. Sherco potentially purchasing GG? Look on www.trialworld.es and use Google translate.
  18. Yes and last one away at about 10.05. If you've not been before, buy a programme and I'd recommend watching at the start and if nowhere else,Surrender which has a great atmosphere. Looks like it could be a fast year, moors are pretty dry?

  20. As stated elsewhere, well worthy of a new topic! Many congratulations on his BTC success. Is he the next British champ? Dibs not getting any younger, Brown very unfortunately injured. Might need to be quick before Toby Martyn gets going.
  21. Also big congratulations to Iwan Roberts. A big step taking the BTC win and surprising there's no real comment on it. One question though. What bikes will the likes of Thorpe, Wigg, etc be riding next year?
  22. Not exactly on your doorstep but either sandifords in Burnley or Inch Perfect at Whitewell. (Nice trip out though).
