Where do you ride trials? - I'm not good but have a Scorpa 250, tend to ride only at Earl Shilton and Clifton (near Ashbourne)
I ride at earl shilton as well, but also south Shropshire events, leamington victory, done a few up in the dales as well like hawks nest and a couple of places near Matlock.

Next time you are at earl shilton post on here and will see If I am going.

And I am crap as well, manage to end up mid table on the middle route when my mate can win the middle route. :?

I dropped of my flywheel to a local engineering firm (Austin engineering Coventry )
Today and asked him to take it down to 125mm od .
I didn't have any removed from the bowl because I want to see what it is like this first .
I got a call 2 hours later from him to say its ready for collection and the cost is £15 :) .
