Morning! I am helping out a mate in re-commissioning his C15 which has been sitting in his barn for the last 15 years (really!).I offered to rebuild his Amal Monobloc 375 carb. It took a bit of force to dismantle it and, in the process, I damaged parts 4 (jet block), 26 (needle), and 30 (slide chamber top r...
For those of you that are coming, I would suggest that you arrive early for parking. At the moment there is 100 plus people coming and parking will be tight. Can I ask that if you are bringing your bikes, can you double up with others if possible or just come on your bike. I am not sure of if there is any parkin...

Greetings folks, I nearly choked on the Christmas sprouts when I saw the price of new Trailtech speedos online. Does anyone have a used unit they could be persuaded to part with? Or recommend an alternative? I just need mph, trip and total miles - nowt fancy. Thanks, Tim -- Edited by Tim on Wednesday 27...

Just wondering has an...

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/644555Just seen this click on the link if interested.It's to get the Government to scrap VAT on life saving motorcycle air vestsOnly has 10,967 signatures needs 100,000 before it can be considered
It's a nice lane, and I can only imagine how cool it was when it was muddy! I got very nervous at the Danger Very Slippy sign due to the drop off to the right. Still, was a good ride.
This superb video is well worth watching as it follows the first two electric trials bikes to enter the 2022 SSDT. The inevitable question is answered in the film but range was no more an issue for them than for all the petrol bikes as the batteries were swapped (a sub two minute job) at the fuel stops. Vid...

It was an early start for me on Christmas Eve (up at 6:30, left home by 7am) as I commuted up a dark and drizzly A38 from Plympton to Ivybridge to meet Russ (Beta X-Trainer) and load my bike into the back of his van. We collected Nick (WR250) enroute at Totnes then headed to our destination which was Bishops...
Greetings folks, I know it's something of a long shot, but I'm looking for some pre 2008 tank shroud plastics for a CRF230. Seems Honda changed the fuel tank in 2008, and plastics for the earlier models are hard to come by. TIA, Tim -- Edited by Tim on Thursday 28th of December 2023 05:43:07 PM
The trail riding community lost one of its long standing and proactive members today. James Higgs or Jimmy Kawasaki as you may have known him, passed away after a short illness. I didn't know him personally but his name often cropped up whenever you read something to do with trail riding. He was still...
