I drilled counterbored and tapped a hole for a racetech needle valve bolt. I should have gone another couple of mm deeper to avoid having to clearance the corner of the bolt to install the spring collars. The body is very thick in that area. Apart from that it was normal service and the internals were in fantastic condition.

Took the worlds most expensive trials bike out for a ride today and had a absolutely awesome ride. Rode up some very intimidating steps and rock faces and the little bike just sailed up everything. The stiffer shock spring is a massive improvement and totally transformed the bike. It seriously feels like a new bike.
Feeling like I am getting some confidence and comfort on it now and I do not shy away from many hills and obstacles. Would have loved to have ridden another couple of hours out there but it was starting to get very humid and sweaty! The Ec will get a blast on Wednesday!

I had been trying to figure out why my gasser (11 ec300 six days) sounded like it was falling apart, and rode without the 'scorpion racing' aluminum skid plate that was on it when I bought it. Ahhh, nice and quiet, but unprotected!
So I set out looking for products or solutions to dampen the vibrations. I wasn't super enthused with anything I found. I expressed this concern to my dearly beloved (owner of an 03 txt 200 pro trials bike) and she suggested I use a Yoga mat. It turns out we have a couple old mats from once upon a time when we were into yoga. Anyways, I cleaned up the skid plate real good, sprayed on some 3m spray adhesive and pressed on a rectangle I cut from the mat. I had to cut out holes for the drain plugs and mounting bolts, but it was a pretty easy job. Better news is the bike is so much quieter now! I can hear my chain rolling over the sprocket, I can hear my tires rolling through gravel. Its amazing. My other hope is that the yoga mat will allow me to do some bike yoga and levitate over the rough terrain! |

Slow days at the forum, so I will try to post up something
Yesterday, I trained enduro at the local track. Having the Norwegian importer less than an hour's drive away starts showing Here is a screenshot from one of my clubmates' Instagram story. My bike at the front, hers to the left, another GG to the right. Lately, I have been to local training days where the majority has been Gasgas bikes. Mine is usually the oldest (2015 EC200), quite a few 18-19 EC250 / 300, we even have a 20 model EC250 in our club! And then of course the red Austrian ones.

Renew with Rieju kit
I fit up my Renew with Rieju kit the other day. Really brightened up the look of the gasser. Love it. They released an all black model which I would have rathered about ten minutes after I had finished!

On Sunday, we ran our annual club race. Almost 40 racers aged from 5 to 65.
As usual, it was hosted by a club member in his backyard and on a near-by field. This race has it all; a high-speed section on the newly harvested field, an extreme section containing tires, jumps and logs, a wall-ride, steep hills up and down, the lot. Everything packed into a 2-minute lap (for the fast guys, I use 3 minutes). I rode the above 50 class, but my ancle injury from July still limits my riding a bit. I did 18 laps in the one hour race, the overall winner (who is on the Norwegian National enduro team) did 30... A lot of images at https://livredd.info/index.php?/category/317 This year, we even have our own video on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPwik2MhRuc The people behind pictures and video are very good and their and so are their products. Take a look and enjoy!

Yes, it was. And adding to the fun is the fact that my whole family was there, my wife sold sausages, cakes, coffe etc, my granddaughter rode her electric Kuberg Cross Hero both in the 50cc (in front of the garage) and the 65cc (on the field) events. The rest of my kids and grandkids were spectators. And I was a marshal in the 65cc event, circulating among the kids, helping out wherever needed.
