Anybody tried the Long Exhaust on a 125 as yet??

Come across a few people trying to do this but no answer's yet! Somebody will come out with one but we said that about the front tyre on the REV50 and thats still the only one you can get.

I did wonder where it came from as you do still see the stuff around. Usually adorning figures more like Mine these days!

Just watched last years Domestic Trials Review DVD. Very good footage of a broad set of events. However the saddest thing was watching the "bonus" footage from the 90's! If ever anybody remarks about the 80's being a fashion minefield I think I'll show them this! And couldn't recognise half the riders as they are so young Still Martin Lampkin sounds the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting, anybody any further info?? Also there's a TLR200 still with the road-legal equipment on ebay! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...4558633690&rd=1

MOst Sherco's (including my Son's) have a sticker on the frame just behind the yoke stating that 98 RON fuel should be used. That is Optimax. Q8 sell 98 RON also but such as BP ultimate and Esso Supreme are 97 RON. I have heard that some Tesco's sell 99 RON fuel but haven't come across it yet. If you really want to push the boat out then check out REAL leaded 4-Star at 99 RON available from a few stations. (Comes from a legal requirement to allow 1% of fuel sales to be leaded for Veteran and Vintage cars and bikes). www.leadedpetrol.co.uk

Interesting that nobody picked up on the first 4 stroke from GAS GAS?

Talked to Charlie Jagger about them a couple of weeks ago. The build should start next month probably with the 250/280 them move on to the 125 and the 200/300. Hence we should start seeing them sometime in late July /August. Personally I'm not sure if the 200 will be continued. Chris is hoping the 05 125 racing mods are carried to the 06 model. Translation of page below. (Kitchen maid?????) The Gas range appears 2006 Gas Kitchen maid in the image to extend it Gas Gas Motos finishes presenting/displaying the new range of motorcycles and quads for 2006 in which they emphasize a great number of new features, as much in which it affects the evolution of some products stars of the mark, like a the introduction of new motorcycles, quads, mechanical motors and elements that come to add themselves to the extensive catalogue of the Spanish company/signature, that now arrives until the 33 different models, between trial versions, enduro, motos for children, cross, supermotard, hybrids and the ample fan of quads that already reaches a supply that goes up to around the six different models. The new range Gas Gas 2006 will leave the line of production of gradual form throughout second half of the year, the first units as of the next month of July. Gas Gas, through his renewed Technical Office, in narrow collaboration with the people in charge of project of Trial, Enduro and Quads and of the Department of Engineering of Production, has designed a range that emphasizes mainly by the improvement of concepts that from always have been the great strongpoints of products of the mark: the technical yield and the dynamic quality of conduction. New the Gas Gas 2006 sees increased their attributes remarkably, in a constant fight to be able to reduce the weight and to increase their quality as far as mechanical and finished elements. Kitchen maid in the image to extend it Trial: Perfecting to the motorcycle leader All the Gas Gas TXT Pro of 2006 sees reduced their weight. Gas Gas thinks that the reduction of weight in the motociclismo of outside highway still is very far from arriving at its limit, reason why year after year presents/displays its mounts with grams of less than they turn unquestionable leaders as far as agility and behavior. The TXT are the unique ones in the world that equip of series the front suspension with aluminum bars instead of steel, which reduces in 1 kg the weight of the set and it turns them lightest of his category. The suspensions are adjustable in all their elements, being the back shock absorber of the mark

Don't know Kinky, looks like the talent's still there, You just need the practice, and you looked like you were still enjoying yourself, You can always ask Chris for tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We'll be at The YG club trial at Emmotts on saturday. 5PM start so no need to get up early, which given I'll be going to bed at 6AM that morning suits me perfectly. And jpw watch out for the Beginners at Norwood on the 2nd July mail me with any queries. Hey Stuart whens the next Autotowbars?

Hiya Kinky! Chris had this problem on his REV50, and that was the thermostat. I think the part is the same on both bikes and cost

Been up there a couple of times recently and it was still open. The MacKenzie will be the first weekend in August and it will be closed for practising. I also understand that there is a Bicycle trial before it sometime in July so watch out for that too!

Do you know Ian Waddington? He is running one at the moment and is very pleased with it. Seems to get some good results as well!

We have Chris's bike insured for Fire and Theft from the Garage with "Protecta-Bike". Only covers while it is chained up in the Garage.

We went to the Weekend one a while back and they will come thru the post. They don't seem to have a web site yet.

You are in Trials country!! If you are in Leeds then the main dealers are, DMS Trialsport in Flockton(All Makes) <mention of this company is not permitted on Trials Central> Trialsport In Royston(All Makes) Cobb & Jagger(Ducati Leeds) in Shipley(Gas Gas only) Pennine Trialsport Nr Saddleworth Moor(sounds far but just off the M62)(Beta,Scorpa) TW trialsport Near Richmond. Colin Appleyard at Keighley(Leeds can get them but don't stock). Couple of other guys around as well. RPM in Sheffield, FeetUp in Scarborough, new guy in York I believe, Haven on The south shore of the Humber. As Lew says try them out, don't go for the biggest bike or the smallest, go for the one that you can control and are comfortable on. Make sure you like the "feel" of the controls. Most riders have one finger on the levers so make sure you can adjust them so they work properly for you. There are lots of things you'll hear about the different bikes, strengths and weaknesses. But change the Gearbox oil once a month, Check and Clean the air filter, get all the dirt off the bike and chain and oil and adjust the chain and you should be ok. Budget for a couple of broken mudguards and listen to other owners of the same bike to get tips on running them.

You are spoilt for Choice!!! Yeadon Guiseley, Bradford, Spen Valley, Huddersfield Falcons, Horsforth and West Leeds all run Beginners trials series. Yeadon Guiseley have one on the 2nd July at 2pm at Norwood between Otley and Pateley Bridge. www.yeadon-guiseleytrials.co.uk I can't see when the next Bradford Autotowbars is from the web site but check TMX and the front page they will be posted. StuartC organises them so if you mail him he'll be able to let you know. www.bradfordtrials.co.uk Spen Valley have a Beginners at Tong Farm on the 16th July at 1PM. Horsforth also use this venue. www.spenvalleytrials.co.uk Horsforth will be running a beginners the previous week on the 10th July at Tong at 11AM. www.horsforthtrials.co.uk West Leeds now run a Beginners course on their Club and also run "restricted" Novice and Beginners trials. The main venue is Post Hill which is on the Ring Road in Leeds. www.wlmc.fsnet.co.uk At all the above providing you have a ACU licence you can turn up and ride. Most would want you to join to ride but membership isn't expensive and in the case of "restricted" trials providing you are a member of one of those clubs you can ride at the trial. Huddersfield are an exception and I'm Not Sure Huddersfield have a website? The trials they have require you to enter prior to the day and they will not take entries on the day so you would have to check TMX and send off for an entry form. Trials are spread out across the region. Around Leeds, Silsden, Otley and Bingley are most popular but the trials are held across the area. Hope that helps!

Chris has the On & Off "black" kit and he loves it seems a little less "pluckable than his old Tech7 Hebo gear but that has lasted two years of tumbles as well. He also has the On & off gloves which have a little lever grip, very neat. He got his from Pennine Trialsport Who go along to various trials in the Yorkshire centre.

Having to get there early to get a section at the moment!

Where was Katherine Wardle???

Chris is running Novice or clubmans in Yorkshire centre, Middle course at Eboracum and Novice elsewhere. He's in his first "B" class year. Still able to run Beginners as he moved classes this Year but he'd getting a bit too good. I'm looking at the local national's next year and see how he does.

Sorry in advance for the mutiple post but not getting any reply in the Gas Gas forum. Did anybody on here get there paws on one of these and what do you think of it?

Any body out there get one? if so what's your impression of it?

It's not going to be easy to find a practice area. My Son spent time at BUMPY learning on a TY80 before I bought him an old Amigo and we started going out to trials. We then spent a lot of time between trials at Addingham practicing before we ventured further. Any Child is going to find it difficult at first. After all their are young riders who have been there a year or so and "know the ropes". But if encouraged they will get to the top of the tree. The main thing is to make sure they are enjoying themselves. Also get to the Conducted trials. Barnsley are holding some in Grimethorpe and I have heard good things about them from Ryan Cartwright's parents. Ripon hold some with an "easy" and "Hard" Course held at 3 to 3.30 on the same day as their evening trials. Yeadon Guiseley's hold them at all Centre, Group , club and Beginners trials, the section's are similar at all. Richmond have a conducted or easy course at most of the Youth trials, Horsforth hold some good beginners (at Tong as well!) and contact StuartC at Bradford about His Autotowbars Beginners trials as they also welcome the "small wheelers" and are good at giving them an idea of a "real" trial. The best way to learn is to discover what's out there and ride. I think I speak for everybody in saying that Kids and Dads are always welcome and all clubs try and make sure that they are going to leave happy after an enjoyable day out.

Haven Are the importers of the "On&Off" brand so you should be able to obtain it at a local dealer. The one We got ours off is Pennine Trialsport. They turn up at (Yorkshire Centre) Local trials selling the gear and bike essentials so finding them isn't a problem.

Only thing is to contact Hudderfield Falcons or Barnsley to see if they know of any.
