The Web site states that the trial MAY be called off on Thursday the 18th depending on the weather. Maybe not???

I believe time limits are at the discretion of the organiser.

The ACU have bowed to pressure and switched the Youth and Ladies national series to FIM rules for 2009. Hence Stopping is to be allowed.

Regs now avaialble at Yeadon Guiseley's website.

Margaret Myers has phoned this morning and the Trial At Fellbeck is off due to the condition of the venue after the last couple of days rain. They will not be a replacement trial .

I think his Problem is that there is no start to his diplomatic skills!!!!!

Depends. One good club rider in our area switched to the 4RT couldn't get on with it and went to a Beta 2t then on to a Beta 4t. Did well enough but bought the new Raga and has had his best results for a while. The problem is it's expensive trying out the options!!!!!!!!!!

I came across this petition on the "Private Pilots" Website PPRUNE. and have linked it from "Pistonheads" for Motor Racing Circuits. I think Trials Riders need to be heard on this as well so Am linking the Petition here as well. Andy, I think this deserves to be a "sticky" here as well. It may be worthwhile passing it though to the Scooby site. This could have saved Addingham. Live with it Lets make it as influential as the "Road Pricing" petition that killed off "pay as you go" motoring.

So I record "Helicopter Heroes" they follow the Yorkshire Air Ambulance around and Being a contributor to "Pistonheads" the website that raised

I have it down as being on the 16th November At Addingham. I'll check that out though.

My Son's a big user of their Kit and I believe that they are made by a major boot manufacturer for On and Off.

As a temporary fix make sure all the spokes are tightened then apply a little rubber solution(that stuff you fix patches to inner tubes with), at the bottom of each spoke. Doesn't stop it entirely but it does slow it enough for it not to be too much of a problem until you get a new tyre and can fix it permanently.

Personally I'd love to know where the extra

It's on their website but with no information. Any details out there????

TriaslUK have the range and prices on their site. TrialsUK

Thanks A lot!!!!!!!!!!!! I put up a link to The Yeadon Guiseley Website and Highlighted the entries of Doug Lampkin and James Dabill both here and On the YG Website. The club is, like all the organisers of Nationals, purely amateur, hence getting publicity is difficult. Getting any coverage has been even more difficult with the Olympics dominating the press. Even the local Yorkshire Post, which Barry Robinson normally gets a report in, did not even carry the results the following day which was very annoying!!!!! With no disrespect to Colin Appleyard the sort of sponsor that would put the money into marketing the series isn't there. Given the profile of the sport you need somebody with a male dominated market. Gillette, JCB, Burberry, Carlsberg etc or a media deal that would attract a wider marketing push. Given that Trials is not easy to film you'd need a format like "Kick Start" and a few compact trials to get the interest of the TV as well. Until then the clubs will keep the Trial's going.

Both are good bike's. The Beta is more numerous especially in 4 speed form and is a winning bike. The Gas Gas is also a winning bike. If you are looking at new then it's a case of trying them out to see which your lad prefers. If not then get the best you can find of either.

Yeadon Guiseley host their round of the National Series at Brimham Rocks on Sunday. See Yeadon Guiseley webite for details. A Mr Dougie Lampkin is entered which is bound to create interest in what is one of the best rounds of the series.

Naughty!!!! Looking at the scores it looks like the Trial was set about right.

Hi Craig Nice to see you on the site!!! It is a pain when other Trials are on in the area. However the only ones "protected" are the Centre and Group Trials. When there are on only Novice/restricted Trials are allowed. The Centre Restricted Trials aren't protected in the same way so You have to fight it out with whichever Club Trials are on that day.

There are Four Options all of which are 80's. The Beta, Clipic, Gas Gas Rookie and Sherco. The Clipic, Beta and Gas Gas are purpose built to be 80's using a small frame with Full size wheels. The Sherco uses a full size frame. The Engine in the Beta is probably the best although the Clipic is pretty good. The Gas Gas seems to have suffered from a lack of development but the entry of Gas Gas into the 50 market has bucked them up a bit. The Sherco is good for the bigger rider but the "feel" of the thing is a bit "big" for young riders. What it comes down to is how many are out there. On this the Beta has it. Plenty out there and the early ones should be good on price. They do take a hammering however so take a good look at them before buying.

I have them at Home. I will Scan them in and produce a report on the trial in the next few days.

Factory Kev recommends "boring out" rubber block on the reed block to accept the Carb. You can also get a carb from Kelcoat with a metal "sleeve" fitted that goes straight into the block. Works a treat and stops the carb rubbing the top of the gearbox casing.

Its a replacement for the first closed to club trial of the Year that had to be cancelled and will be at Addingham Moorside on Saturday at 2pm. As usual All classes on the main and clubman courses with a seperate conducted course for Small wheels. See Yeadon Guiseley's website for details.
