    Manufactured by a local (Vietnamese) company, about 200 km from here. The front lift came with 8 different pins for lifting the lower triple.

    Decent quality and well finished. About $160 including delivery . Ordered Thursday evening, notified of delivery late yesterday afternoon.

    Result.

  8. Sadly no, been into work with my Son as 2nd Man. It’s his only opportunity to earn adult money as he’s paid the same day rate job and drop. I don’t like working weekends but it helps him buy stuff he couldn’t otherwise afford and to understand how utterly chite physical work is which encourages him to keep his grades high before Uni.

    It doesn’t look bad, he’s undecided on what to do for transport once at Uni so he may skip a few years.

  12. Used ride trials bikes at Earl Shilton, not a bad trials venue especially as the annual fee is peanuts.

  13. At the quarry?
     
  14. Possibly it was a quarry, it straddles the M69. There a farm track to it, judging my the manure it’s a dairy farm.
     
  15. Yeah it’s the old quarry.
     
  16. Me and a few mates have just bought some cheap trials bikes and joined the Earl Shilton Trials Club. Great fun for very little money and were up there for a few hours today. Its on a piece of ground that straddles either side of the M69.

  17. Do you need the ACU licence to go there?
     
  18. No. You just need to join the club which is £70 for the year.
    Only need an ACU licence (which is about £25) if you want to enter the trials competitions.
