Here we go, its started already Spanish bikes appearing from the corners of sheds all over the place.
Vote on the front page "Pre 65 - No Spanish" or this is going to get worse.
I've already started to restore my RL Suzuki that was built on December 31st 1964 !!!! :roll:

its good to see another M10 out there,

i competed last year in the aussie titles and won,so now everyones trying to stop us competing in the titles this year,until the rules are change we should be able to compete.

There trying to change the ruled to exclude us.

these are the current rules:
23.5 Classic Trials
23.5.0.1 The eligibility and dating of Classic
Motorcycles shall be considered in terms
of major and minor components and the
period of the motorcycle shall be the
period of the latest major component.
23.5.0.2 Major components are:
a) All engine and gearbox external
castings,
b) Frames,
c) Brakes,
d) Wheel hubs,
e) Forks, and
f) Carburettors.
23.5.0.3 Mk1 Amal Concentric carburettors may be
used.
23.5.0.4 Major components that were manufactured
outside the period, but which are visually
indistinguishable from period components
shall be eligible for that period.
23.5.0.5 All other components shall be considered
as minor components.
23.5.0.6 Minor components may be modified
or updated provided that they remain
visually compatible with the period being
depicted.
23.5.0.7 For the purposes of determining eligibility
machines are categorised as follows:
a) Pre-1965:
i) Manufactured before 31st
December 1964,
b) Pre-1965 heavyweight solo:
i) Non-unit construction engines
with an original capacity of over
250cc, or
ii) Unit construction engines with
an original capacity of over
350cc.
c) Pre-1965 lightweight solo:
i) Non-unit construction engines
with an original capacity of
250cc or less,
ii) Unit construction engines with
an original capacity of 350cc or
less.
d) Post Classic (Twin Shock):
i) For models designed and first
manufactured between 1st
January 1965 to 31st December
1986,
ii) Disc brake models are not
eligible,
iii) Pre-1965 machines that have
been modified so as to provide
a ground clearance or chassis
performance more in keeping
with this era shall compete as
specials in this Post Classic
category.

you will find that there are a few bikes that compete that dont follow these rules and also should be excluded.

ive included picture of my bike which is a M10,the frame number identifies this bike is a M10

It is truly a beautiful thing.

That you are riding it at all is huuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!

I would be scared of putting scratches on it!!

I find it hard to believe there are still people who are scared of real competition!! If the bike is built in 1964, its a pre-65 and eligible!!

Some people need to get over their own importance and pull their heads in.

The guys who want to compete on machines such as this should be encouraged to bring them out.

I can't think of a better way to draw others to trials than to see a machine of the calibre of APs out there, getting dirty, showing what it can do!!

Hi Again Alan,

I think you are wrong about this bike. It will have to be 'excluded', from pre 65 or classic for that matter, sorry. Because of the two Treads now running on Trials Australia about the bike it has surpassed 'Celebrity Status". One person has already said the bike is worth $15000 in Europe. You are now playing with something bigger then just riding a trials bike, you are now charged with preserving a piece of history.

Everyone in the Trials world now knows about the bike, you could charge people to see it. Like a pilgrimage to Mecca. I read here someone had an ambition to see GOV123 and then he wrote a story about it for all of us to read about his adventure (I would be proud to see it also). Your bike may reach those dizzy heights of mythology - you never know.

Or you could simply let the others win next time - end of problem. Oops being silly again :P

When competing in a trial, I don't suffer from nerves, I get way too excited for that stuff!!!!
