You might find "How to, Changing Fork oil seals" useful as well with a lot of pics as you go through the steps. It was published in Jan 2008 so you will need to come down to previous years and hit 2008 and then Jan. <br /> <br /> Tony</span> Comment on FORKING GOOD ! tag:www.blackcatvintagetrials.com,2012-02-05:15859574 Jim Carey 2012-02-05T14:51:01Z 2012-02-05T14:51:01Z <span> </span>Just subscribed a couple days ago, and the first blog received is about fork upkeep.

The cost is not an issue when there is one club with events in your area and the other with none. Although if we were to talk cost then try the fuel costs from Roswell,NM to Buckeye,Phoenix, AZ (our nearest AHRMA event) approx 14 hrs in an RV.

I have a Bultaco Sherpa T M191 which I am planning to ride in at least the Turkey Rock event. I was a little disappointed to see the obvious lack of AHRMA events planned for the Colorado region for 2012 and was hoping the ITSA would become active in this area. This sounds like it will be good and I'm excited to start riding vintage trials again. I rode RMTA way back in 79 on a Sherpa and I've done a couple AHRMA events but it's been a while. I'll be sure to say Hello at the event/events.<br /> <br /> Chris Comment on STILL WAITING tag:www.blackcatvintagetrials.com,2012-01-29:15647981 Tony Down 2012-01-30T00:41:50Z 2012-01-30T00:41:50Z <span>John<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You need to come to Bull Hollow ! Great piece of land. You will enjoy the Manx, tough but fair, my best memories were going up the 200+ steps by Douglas harbour...... nearly rattled your eyeballs out of their sockets with a serious Manx Hangover.&nbsp; Well done on the recruiting, see you on the circuit.<br /> <br /> Tony&nbsp;</span> Comment on STILL WAITING tag:www.blackcatvintagetrials.com,2012-01-29:15647965 John Dowson 2012-01-30T00:28:21Z 2012-01-30T00:28:21Z <span> </span>Well in answer to who'll be joining in the ITSA Mountain West fun I'm planning on making the Turkey Rock, Delores and Roswell events, cant do Casper this year as I'm entered for the Vintage Manx 2-dayer the same date. would be nice if some of you could post if you are competing to give us a rought idea on numbers! spread the word, we're recruiting daily and hope to have some new riders to bring with us!
