Nice video from sergio... Jeroni Fajardo out playing on the Beta Evo.

Word was that the Beta Evo rear mudguards were made of carrots!! Most people seem to say that they snap if you so much as brush past somethings solid... well this is what happened when Burners flipped his new Evo back down a step and into the trees ... click the image to see larger view.
The mudguard sprang back into shape, with not even a crease or stretch of the bolt holes!! |

Ross, Tony, Colin and Karl joined me up at Kilkenny for a play on Sunday... only the second time I have been up there for a year. The sun shone all day and we had nearly 5 hours of fun. We were joined during the day by a couple of other groups and I have to apologise to the group of lads who we encouraged to try the rock face climbs... hopefully after we left you didn't go too mad and break anything!!!
Ross rides the class above me in events so it was great to have someone to push me a bit, we set out sections and worked through them together. It was nice to learn and raise my game a bit to see if i could be the first to clean the hard bit.
Karl is coming on strong and his confidence has gone sky high... Colin, his Dad, was amazed at things he tried. Time for him to try some events i think.
On bank holiday Monday Rob, Ben and myself popped down to the Wessex Trial biketrial event to watch. Ben is without a bike at the mo so I lent him my Echo and it was nice to see it doing some fairly big stuff... more than it with me on it!!! Several of the UK's best riders were there and all present gave a great show of skill...I always espeicially enjoy watching Tim Steadman on his pashley as he will just have a bash at anything, and usually do it! ..I have put some photos in a gallery HERE.

The Cheltenham Spa AMCA club put on a great trial in the woods at the side of the moto-x track at Brookthorpe, and even better I was joined by Chris, Ben and Colin.. but Squancy had to have a bit of a kip in the car to recover from a heavy drinking session the night before!!
All four of us rode a class above our normal route, with Colin and Chris trying the combined easy/standard route, Ben moving back onto the standard route after a confidence building few rides on the easy and I did the clubman expert or 50/50 route instead of the normal standard route used for the over 40's sections in other events. I am pleased to report we all had a great day, enjoying the extra challenges. Ben has swapped back to a rev3 after a while on a rev4 to see how he feels with 2 stroke power again, and he seemed to be having fun. I had one silly 5 after a total brain fade and going the wrong way, other than that just a collection of dabs on some of the expert routes I had to ride. A great turn out and a very well set out trial... thanks to all at Cheltenham spa and to all the observers. Results now available.. HERE (.xl file)

Heath and Colin rode the Kingswood MCC club trial recently, and what a brilliant trial it was. The weather was perfect, as were the sections and Heath had a new Xispa 250 to play on!! Colin was very nervous during the first lap but started to calm down in the 2nd, and had some good rides on the root and wild garlic covered hillsides. We both lost silly 5's but were just happy to be having fun. Use the link to the Xispa 250r test ride, and Results of the trial will be on the Kingswood MCC website. Scott Anderson took a good amount of photos during the day at most of the sections... his gallery can be viewed HERE. ..Thanks to the club and all involved for a top event, and to Pete for the loan of the Xispa.

A
little advice to Beta Evo owners, if the dealer has
not already done this you need to fill in the air
vents on the seat area of the rear mudguard as these
let in a lot of water and dirt directly on top of
the air filter.. performance is not affected but
Engine life will be reduced if the filter gets full
of dirt. SXS Has a Graphic kit to cure this problem.

There
is something so cool being able to ride a motorcycle
in much the same way as you can ride a cycle trials
bike... From the brilliant slow motion Cabestany
Video's (Here ) to
this one of the world indoor guys warming up before
Girona. Video
by Sergio. and
then a bit of natural riding, Fujinami
practicing.
...just
a shame there is no way in a million years that
I would be able to do any of it..!!

A
great day out in the mud..!! Squancy, Ben and myself
took the camera for a walk around the Southern Experts
trial this weekend. Heavy rain on Friday night made
the ground almost waterlogged and with near on 100
pairs of wheels doing 3 laps on it the sections proved
extremely slippery... not that you would have noticed
if you had followed Alexz, Ross or Sam around mind
you!! Here are the first
batch of photos.. Southern
Experts Gallery. ...updated with 87
images now.
SVMC
Website now has a report and the full
results ready for download.

Alexz
Wigg's dad, Julian, has a new project bike to be
playing with... a lovely TLR Honda. He had it hidden
away in the back of his van at the BVM test day,
and when you see it you will realise why he wasn't
keen to get it out in the thawing cotswold mud just
for a little play... CLICK
