January 30, 200818 yr Link http://www.trialspartsusa.com/diagrams/Old%20Smokey.jpg This is the second trials bike fire i have herd of, The first was the flaming Beta at a British round I saw back in summer! BE CAREFULL
January 31, 200818 yr Anyone recognise what bike this is? Doesn't look like a Beta. Mikuni gets another bad rap i guess. Ya!
January 31, 200818 yr I would say that it's a Gas Gas contact dating from around '96. The odd shape silencer was fitted to the 350 model.
January 31, 200818 yr I think it's earlier than that Scorpa3, looks very much like a 1993 250 Gas Gas with USD forks, we can rebuild it! The fire has charred the rims looking like a black anodized finish. A friend was burned back in the UK when working on his Ossa, wasn't too bad though and he recovered well. It's the fumes that are highly volatile, still there aren't many smokers who ride trials these days, are there? Another friend here in NZ had a garage full of bikes that mysteriously all went up in flames, there was little left of his PRO as he had oxy acetylene bottles in the place that went up too. There was only the frame left, forks and swinging arm melted, and most of the internals of motor where intact. Bye, PeterB.
January 31, 200818 yr Internet forums are great, everyone blame the Mikuni carb, even on a bike fitted with a dellorto!
February 3, 200818 yr Id say that was a gas gas 320 or what ever they were , even thought it says *note in this wasnt another gas gas* hah.
