I used to hear the argument with pre 65 trials bikes, people were spending £12,000 building trick Ariel HT5's which got the weight down to around 210Lbs for a 500cc bike which would normally weigh above 300Lbs, alloy rims, alloy replica Whitton Bantam hubs with plated brake surface, tubeless tyres, modern lightweight fork internals in Norton sliders, PVL ignition, 350cc flywheels, carbon fibre primary cases, sintered alloy barrel with chrome liner and Yamaha XT 350 piston, alloy guards/levers/bars, NEB clutch foam pad seat etc. etc.  Then saddle it with a 14 stone rider !, sometimes the cheapest option would be to lose 3 stone off the rider ?

this is going to take some reading

The home team has to declare their line-up prior to the away team so either way for Friday at least Dickson could always line-up Kemp against Flint

According to latest BSPL declared riders, Adam Roynon is no longer in the team. Replaced by Vinnie Foord, and Luke Harris has 4.00 average. Only question I now have, is why was this information held back? Any idea anyone 😁.

I think Wright’s bra strap was too tight ….

I think you will nick it and your debutant looks a decent prospect although wouldn't expect too much in first meeting. Looking forward to it, should be good in the Oxfordshire sunshine.
