Great evening at Non-Stop Trials with Dick, had a bit of fun on an Oset TXP20 meant for 8 year olds. Entered the Sportsman class and managed a 7th out of 27 in class😁

Bit of a wiring weekend, firstly a totally dead BMW R1150 R with a broken/corroded wire on the main feed to the ignition. Hidden deep in the loom, chased it from the fuses forward until I found it. Then a GSXR750 with an alarm fault, also a corroded wire into the alarm fuse. Also checked the valve clearances. Other jobs this week included upgraded Reynolds primary chain on a pretty Royal Enfield, finished off the full engine rebuild, fork seals and chain and sprockets on a YZF-R125.
We also had 3 of the Oset fleet bikes go to their new owners so they had to be cleaned and gone through
Busy old week😊👍

Sadly that’s the end of the trials bikes.
I’ve been running the experience centre for 8 years and had literally thousands of riders through.
I’m proud of the youngsters and adults that started with me and have gone on to buy their own bikes and do well in competition. The last trial I did 3 people came over and said that it had all started at my place.
We had 2 special educational needs schools visit regularly and my old gits class in the week.
I could gripe about Triumph and the way I’ve been treated but that’s just the modern corporate world and I expected no more.
It’s been a privilege and hopefully the workshop carries on growing as I invest more time into that side of the business.
Thanks to all that supported and visited me

About to do a compression and leak down test to diagnose blown head gasket but turned it over to line up timing marks and a gob full of coolant spurted out of the plug hole🙄 Think that confirms it😂

Sadly all booking online is now closed, anybody with vouchers less than a year old should please contact me as soon as possible and we’ll endeavour to get you booked on.
I’m happy to do sessions after school/work during the week as long as we have daylight.
We will be closing the trials centre completely on Tuesday 12th May as that’s when our insurance expires.
I’d like to thank the riders and visitors we’ve had over the past 8 years, it’s been a real privilege to pass on the enjoyment I’ve had from trials and off road riding to younger generations. I know a fair few have gone on to compete successfully and continue to do so.
All the best
Steve
