Most Clubs will allow you to join "on the day" but will insist on you filling in the ACU form. You will need a Passport sized photo, the Club stamp and the club secretary will need to sign the form to say you are a member of that club before sending the ACU Form off. Once you have registered then you can join other clubs for their "Closed to Club" trials and use the original club for Centre, restricted etc trials in your area. As beta 270 says West Leeds are holding a Trial at Halton Gill near Kilnsey on Sunday and Richmond have a "Dads and Lads" at Iron Banks on Monday(Next nearest is at Barnsley on Sunday). All Clubs put their events in Trials And Motocross News, a lot post on this website. Most have their own Websites and Link to other clubs. www.yeadon-guiseleytrials.co.uk www.westleeds.co.uk www.richmondmotorclub.com

We have had the opposite problem! The Fan on Chris's 06 125 would not go on! He had to be very careful as we were getting water and steam out of the overflow. And the best bit was that we couldn't find the thermostat to bypass the Stat. Anybody know where it is and how to "bypass" it so the fans on??

Results now available for download at Chris Carter Results Quick Breakdown Dan Thorpe on 15 N/C Sam Ludgate on 20 Ben Hemingway on 21 N/C Martin Crosswaite on 26 Mika Vesterein on 26 N/C Ashley Smith Deserves a mention coming 15th on a 125

Nothing as yet. I'll pass them to Andy as soon as they are posted but check out Yeadon Guiseley over the next couple of hours.

North Yorkshire Lad's has the Kehin Carb and 9/48 Sprockets. It also has some other mods like Domino Grips(standards too thin and move too easily), YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE Brake adjuster and Chain adjuster, small Brake lever etc. Getting a new Mod for after Scarborough that should make the bike interesting. Then we'll look at the HC head and the tuning recommended by Julian Wigg.

We are using one in Chris's Gas Gas 125 and ir seems to be an improvement. Starting is easier and no running problems.

The PAckaging is the same (Mr Showman) But Amazon have got the title wrong. This could be down to the Disc supposedly being available before Christmas. Duke probably changed it when the release date dropped back to March.

When you get to the Roundabout on the Outskirts of Skipton take the turn towards Ilkley and Addingham. You pass some Windmills and drop down to a another roundabout. Take the third exit towards Silsden. You'll see a sideroad on the left signposted Addingham Moorside. Go Up that to the Crossroads at the top. At the crossroads turn right. Go down that road about 1/2 a mile and take the first left, (Light Bank Lane). Then continue down that road and the venue is about a mile down on the left. It should be "flagged" from the Silsden road.

For some reason Amazon have listed as "Steve Colley - Trial King". Same DVD as that Duke are selling.

NYL's was from Amazon.

Turn up follow the riders round and watch the observers at work. Most don't mind chatting in between riders. You'll get an idea of how they score and then try it yourself!

After the False start at Deer Park the Next round will be at Addingham Moorside on Saturday at 2 o'clock. As usual the Small-wheels will have their own conducted course. Entry form here Beginners Entry Form.

I did see Ben Morphett threatened with a 10 at a Mansfield Muan C&D National two years back. He wasn't picked out but did have an early start number and the field was bunching badly at the first section. Time is a strange and relative thing and some riders like to get on with it and others hang back. Just as a guide the last club trial started at 11:00 and we were the last away at 13:40. 10 sections 4 laps and 42 riders including the winner who's form considering he'd been away two years or so was more than a little good!! It's a different league for the top riders and perhaps the Consequences are different(to say the least).

Would thatbe it to the bottom right of the Idler adjust or that sticky out one??

So it's on the Exhaust side of the Carb?? How you supposed to adjust it "on the fly"??

There seems to be a view in some places that if certain riders get 'too' good then thats a bad thing. You call them 'elite' like its a bad thing.. theres no elite about it, they are the best riders in the country whatever class and I for one want them as they are British to be the best riders in the world so lets help them get there not just do half the job In relation to riding the Adult...probably best they dont.. wont do their ego's much good getting beat by a load of kids (very tounge in cheek) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you trolling??? It looks like it. As far as I am concerned those "Elite" or best youth riders do need pushing and allowing them to ride the Adult Expert course at the British Nationals will give them the same sort of experience those riders who are in the A&B Nationals for the first time will get in those trials. They may or may not win, they may not score points but the experience WILL do them good and trying to limit those riders who feel they would like to "push" themselves will only discourage interest. I'm concerned about the direction your posts here have been heading. I cannot work out the hostility towards the middle and lower ability riders in these trials. They want to try these courses and are probably getting to the top end of the trials they normally enter and feel the need to go further. I am not going to continue discussions with such a closed viewpoint so am moving on.

Personally I prefer Hi-Fi!! I'm there to catch( and according to NYL I'm not much good at that!). I work and clean the bike, Get him there, pay for training and entries, Help out the clubs as much as I can, and lastly try to stop him doing too much too soon. He drives himself and looking at most other dad's in this sport they cannot compete with their son's (and daughters). We are merely here to pick up the pieces and encourage. A nicer group of parents are hard to find.

As one of the dads involved lets clear up a few points. My Lad is in "B" class. It's a large class this year, Much larger than in previous years. Over 60 Riders have appeared at both Nationals this year. We are based in Leeds. We have attended Dob Park and Wolversleigh farm. The entry for Scarborough goes in this week, hence we have an 100% attendance record. Chris came in 39th at Dob Park. It looks like he came in around 20th at Wolversleigh Farm. He Improved despite dropping "over 100" marks. His Aim is to improve and get into the top Ten by the end of the Year. Why? because he enjoy's it and he wants to test himself againest everybody else. Every "B" class rider who entered deserves to be there. Some will not ride well because they have nerves or do not know what to expect. BUT they will not get better until they have the chance. This is not an adult class, the Juniors improve all the time and a late starter could become a World class rider. Stopping Riders entering would not help the development of the Youngsters. We already have an "elite" Youth class to push the top youngsters. They are riding this weekend in the Youth Section of the British National Series. Should we stop those riders from riding in the Youth Nationals?? Lastly Yes Time is a problem in these trials. I expect the Problem to sort itself out as the riders get used to the conditions in these trials. restricting to "the best" would leave us with a trial of 10 riders leaving everybody else with no hope. How would you get in? Who would decide? The current feeder system see's riders leave and join at different ages. The system works at the moment. Changing the system could leave us with no riders wanting to enter. Not what we want at all.

Just a note that the Yeadon Guiseley Trial at Norwood on the 26th (Sunday) will have a Clubman, 50/50 and Hard course. It will of course also have a seperate conducted course for Small Wheels.

Haven't got the results yet. Otter Vale don't seem to have a Web address.

As the starter of this topic I thought I should add My Impressions. Firstly the trial was a good one and I won't add to my son's comments on that, he enjoyed himself greatly. As for time etc, there was a natural bottleneck between Section 2 and 3. As soon as the riders came out of two they were on "top of" the queue for section three. This meant quite rightly the Observer on 2 would not let the next lad start until the queue moved forward. This was partly due to the severity of section 3 and the inability of riders to "clear out" of the section as the only way out was thru the most difficult part of that section. My own experience was that it was hard to get into to assist, I was getting cobbered in the face by a loose log, and the dad's (and Mum's) having to climb that difficult part to get to a catching spot. They also had to use that route as no other existed to get by. The Gulley that Sections 1 to 6 were in meant that until you got to six there was very little space for the bikes, riders and parents. Seven was a breath of fresh air and the Sections 8 to 14 had room to manouvere. I was passing section 7 at 16:15 and it was being pulled despite the official finish time being 16:34 + The extra time allowed. There appears to have been confusion as well at the end regarding the tie for sixth place in the 125 A Class. Lastly No finishers awards???

Came Wednesday. What do you need to know??

Looks like myself and NYL are making the trip down to Devon(many thanks to "Zac's dad"). See you down there!!

Track down some Tesco 99Ron or use Optimax or another 98RON fuel. If the noises disappear then you have pre-ignition.

Forgot that mine also carried a Malaguti Monte! 50cc Moped from the eighties.
