It doesn,t look like Tripp is short on balance or nerve! Nice photos from everyone.

 

I,m going to finally get out and ride tomorrow with my good friend who got me into dirt bikes about 43 years ago.Just a play/practice day set up by the trials club on another friends beautiful 85 acres.I will try and get some good pics to post.

Here we go 1st one i have my L plates on so there must have been some road work and that looks like my sammy miller jump suite boy did i think i looked cool in that ! 

number 2 in the woods and not falling off ..... doing really well 

I think this one is the time trial on the club weekend looks like i made it out of one of the peat bogs this time. You can just about see the dint in the tank i was so sad did it on my second

Here is some great footage of Joe Wallmann Bultaco 10 times Austrian Champion Trial Caglio 2011 riding his 199A .

 

 

 

 

Looks like you may have to copy and paste them for them to Looks like they came up great.

 The video reminded me of this trial that I marshaled a few years ago. You'll have to endure about a minute and a half of modern bikes before the Bultaco appears, sorry.

Last winter out on my bike at a local club trial some friends made some pictures with there phones ! What a great event lots of fun sliding about in the woods.

Those riders view shots of the Bultaco brought back some fond memory's of my younger years.

 

Got out and played motocrosser on the sherpa for awhile today. Weather has cooled off and three trials coming up. Love this time of year!

Bit of rock practice at the VMCC trial today.

 

 

I'm intrigued by the exhaust on this one - does it have any performance or noise advantages?

It should have a performance edge, but only small.

From probably 1980 we used to weld 30mm of straight tube in the bend on the 325's then the 340's came with a longer front pipe as standard i think(!).

As one of the mods vesty and Reg May did they took this way further by re routing the front pipe and therefore increasing the length considerably more than the 30mm.

This appeared on quite a few bikes that vesty rode so the asummption is, it is good and worthwhile.

The achilles heel is the mid box which needs constant looking after and re packing depending on how much and how hard you ride a bit to keep the motor in top fettle, and therefore make the mod worthwhile.

noise - no discernable difference.

Thanks Nigel. The reason I asked is the pipe on my bike is getting a bit rough around the edges so will need some work soon and I was curious about changes that might quieten it down a little.

A good friend built this bike quite a few years ago with the long header pipe mod, but to be quite honest neither of us could pick a noticeable difference in power. If you look at the Spanish 'Puma' bikes some of them run a longer header pipe styled after a Gas Gas header pipe.

Cheers Greg
