  1. Dibs third in Trial 1 Roberts 1st and Price 3rd in Trials2 and Peace 1st looking good in 125.
  2. If it's off road only I have found that only Carol Nash and Bikesure cover them. Carol Nash tend to be better due to the "in transit" and at Venue cover.
  3. We've already had the argument about the names. What sounds good in one language may not in another. There is also the fact that "Racing", "works" etc do not define different models. If you want to throw around bad names just look at Japanese bikes and cars.
  4. Just Announced on the UK web Site. The Ice Hell version of the Combat will be available in May at a Cost of £6500. The Camo 250 seems to be available as well.

    Tyres

    Found the Dunlop's to be leaky around the rim. Not just on my Sons Ossa but another in the area. They do not seem to seat well on the rim. The IRC's suffer similarly but tend to "puff" it out when they hit something. Both Michelins are pretty good with the X lite giving grip without much running but not lasting as long as the X11.

    Frame Trim

    The Vent things. We lost one pretty early and I bought the last Trials and Tribulations had. Andy At Pennine has a few Italian sources for parts if you can't find them anywhere else.
  7. Chris Loves it. If they can sort out production fast enough he'd have another. If not then we will have to get a Vertigo. There's no substitute for Fi.

    Yes Or No ?

    dadof2 I can't praise the EFI on Chris's Ossa enough. We no longer have to fiddle before during and after every section trying to get the bike to run cleanly. It's reliable runs well and has taken a lot of doubt over power delivery away. It idles reliably, does not feel as if it's going to die when the fans come on and has a clean pickup when the bike is asked to rev. Not something the Gas Gas and Sherco's we have had in the past wee able to do. Personally I cannot wait to see the back of the Carb.

  12. The Shop on the A64 has shut and their Ebay site sates they have gone online only!!
  13. You are close by Pennine Trialsport who is an Ossa Dealer and expert. He looks after Chris's TR300i. I'm sure Andy would assist.

    Yes Or No ?

    Chris is doing rather well on his TR300i. The major Plus point is that the engine, once warm, runs the same at the start of a trial as at the end. As for computers I have a Surface Pro3 and 4 as well as a few Laptops available to me. Haven't really needed them yet though.

    Trs Bike Unveiled

    If Chris gets hold of one I will let you know his opinion. He tends to be honest about the bikes and I gather a few riders thoughts as well.

    Vertigo

    Listed At just under £5500
  17. Looking at the Maps of 1810 It seems that the Quarry was where the Houses were Built and Post Hill Itself was not actually Quarried until after the War. Even then it seems to be a fairly small area. The 1800's Quarry was known as "Mary Harrisons Quarry" And Harrisons was a local Building company. It's ironic that the area is under Housing. As stated the Yorkshire Post themselves state they bought the land presumably off Harrisons, and it was Renamed "Post Hill". Previously it was Park Springs. The Land was used during the war for a POW camp although I would expect that to be the Quarry and also AA batteries. After the war it was transferred to Harrisons and that's were the Lease must have started.
  18. "A Portrait of Farnley" by the Farnley Local History Group says. "In 1925 Leeds Motor Club were looking for land on which to construct tracks for speed and freak climbing conditions. A Mr. Fred Langton "discovered" the hill, and the Yorkshire Evening Post arranged to purchase the land, and present it for the permanent use of the Leeds Motor Club, as a centre for motoring events. Officials of the club announced that as a compliment to the Yorkshire Evening Post the hill would be named Post Hill. The site was cleared of shrubs and small trees and there was ample stone to lay a rough track. The inclined length of the hill is 527ft and rises 200ft. The steepest gradient is 1 in 1.6 On 24th July 1926 the hill was formally presented to the club by Mr. R. R. Whittaker, editor of the Evening Post. Sir Charles Wilson, MP, officially declared the hill open. There was an estimated crowd of 10,000 spectators when racing began"

  20. A piece of land bought and paid for by the Yorkshire Post for Motor sport. Taken over during the war and not given back to the club. Now Leeds City council seem to like messing anybody using it for anything but dog walking and locals using it as a "party" venue. Sorry but the "war Dept" and the land they requisitioned needs to be sorted out. too many people lost out and the use of the area by passing to to "local" authorities has lead to loss of amenities. Allowing building on this area is just not in keeping with it's original use.
  21. He was due to ride the Montesa but I gather the financial side just was not in place at a time he had to make a decision. Hence back to the UK with a Beta.
  22. One Rider does not a democracy make!
