John Lampkin Imports who are Beta UK Or your nearest dealer. The site will have a list.

This is not a Club Trial as specified in the TrialsCentral diary it is the John Bolton Trial to be held at Cawder Hall Farm outside of Skipton at 11:00. NOT AT POST HILL.

Used the Current Combo to do the Youth Trials last year. One bike will fit in on the Diagonal and its best rear in first. On The Gas Gas removing the rear Mudguard also helps.

A & B Class Here C & D Class Here Looks like most routes were set out pretty well. The C class Looks like it was a bit tough and section 8 on the Medium wheels D class looked a bit pointless. However the riders seem to have been sorted out nicely.

Additives are allowed providing you do not exceed 102RON. This is because you can actually get this fuel commercially. I know one or two people used to buy Aviation fuel of this octane.

Everybody forgets that if you read the manual for all modern Trials Bikes the Minimum RON recommended for any Bike is 98RON. Hence if you are using standard Unleaded (95RON), you are losing out!! This is because the engine is set to run with this octane or better. As a rule most European car Engines are set at 95 Octane. However Volkswagen FSI and Japanese units run "Knock Sensors" which ajdjust the ignition for the higher rated RON fuels. As a Guide My 2 litre Lancer Estate does about 270 miles on a tank of 95 RON. On 99RON it does another 20-30 miles. Engine response is also better. Because the Fuel "burns" at a higher Temp it also burns off carbon in the cylinder.

Hi Dave, they have got them on the site now.

Is it a new one or not? Prior to this year you need to fit the S3 Short Titanium Exhaust with the Insert. A Kehin PWK28 Carb will also help. Use 99RON Tesco or Shell v-Power fuel and use a RON enhancer to take it to 102RON,(Which is the maximum you can legally run under the ACU).

Only if the trailer is over 750KG in weight. I doubt even the three up trailers would make that!!!

Hope to be going to the Spen Valley trial there tomorrow. Anybody know the best way to get there from Leeds??

It's a difficult area. I usually get approached at Club and Novice Trials and the majority I can do. I have noticed tho that at a num ber of clubs they are offering a raised financial incentive this year. The Problem being that the quality appears to have suffered. At a recent trial we were chatting to a rider who reckoned he's dropped a couple of fives which never showed up on the scores.

Historically the Youth Nationals have attracted entries close to 100 riders and it would not be feasible to have between 70-100 riders with another 70-100 minders on bikes. Given numbers have fallen it may be logistically possible but then entries would have to be limited in number. That would discourage any rider who only wanted to ride in their local events who MAY then go on to compete regularly. Secondly Many dads aren't themselves riders. So to make sure nobody gained an advantage it was deemed better that no Minder/Dad have a bike.

Feedback so far is that it was a fair trial. Muddier than normal but the scores, and the spread of the marks between the riders indicate that the sections allowed for it. As for the lap distance the trick at Otter Vale seems to be to split the two locations between two minders and get the riders to ride together.

Final Instructions and Entry list are now available on the Yeadon Guiseley Website. If you are not riding and can spare the time to observe Please contact Cherry Dabill. Contact Details on the YG site.

To be held at Addingham Moorside on Sunday. Start 11:00am. As Usual Three Courses, Championship, 50/50 and Clubman for the older kids and Adults and a separate Conducted course for the Small Wheelers.

Yep Like a Beaver!!! I expect the Otter Vale trial to be a more realistic test. It was last year!

Actually He was at Scarborough and when I see him I expect the comment's to be equally as forthright. As I have said a trial which produces so few "rides" thru sections has been badly judged. I consider Bracken Rocks to be a "classic" venue and when damp or dry it's a great place to ride. You have however to stop and think when the first "National" of the year is that early and the weather is unpredictable as to who you are catering for. We have already seen numbers fall and I don't see them recovering. As for we "need" the hard courses for the riders to "develop", They are not going to develop if they cannot "ride" the course. Constant Three's does not a Trials rider make.

Looks like Barry Robinson has thrown his hat into the fray!!! The same basic criticism's but with the eye of a man who has been there, covered it and publishes.

Chris Short Chris Stay and George Gosden are entered at Scarborough this weekend.

Just to clear up on the first lap there were 8 clean rides for ALL riders on ALL sections. on the Second lap 7 clean Rides on the third 10 so that's 25 cleans from a total of 252 sections or a 10% success rate for ALL riders. Length of sections was also criticised many riders being out of time feet from the end flags. Many riders "enduro'ed" though to get a three and that's no test for a Trials rider. Yes If Rich had been there I'd expect him to pull in less marks as would Shepard etc. However the riders behind them will not improve on courses with sections that do not allow you to "ride" the section. Chris Short and Chris Stay would still have been the top two but the following riders would have been sorted on riding ability not who was fastest thru a section. Last years North East Trial seems to have been a good example of this. Most at the Trial considered it a good test and the top riders came out on top. The Idea is to that the difficultly is behind the Adult Expert A course which is really designed for 250 and bigger machinery. Lets face it the "top" Youths will get out on that course anyway and this year will have more chances to do that course than the A class anyway.

Had a little feedback along the same lines. Not really any change from last year. We all know it is difficult and many parents don't want to rock the boat but a thought for the conditions and the fact these are 125's wouldn't go amiss at these trials. I know a local who went down to watch likened the sections to Expert A national sections.

The Series kicks off this weekend (06/03/10) at 1PM with the venue being Deer Park Bingley. Two courses on the Main route with a separate "Small wheel" course for the Kids. For directions see Yeadon Guiseley's Website.

I think the latest Gas Gas 250's run 10/42.
