Kev Zar rode my bike the other week & didn't suggest any changes.
I'm not good enough to notice much difference between mine & Dad's '07 except that he has softened his up quite a bit.
Biggest difference I notice is that Dad runs a "Slow" throttle.
He reckon's it helps now that his reactions are slowing up a bit.
(just like his hair growth).

That is a good looking bike you turned out there Gary.
Your old man would tell you anything to get an edge on you two youngsters.
Maybe you need that slow throttle to you settle down a bit with that new colour scheme.
If Kevin Zar happens to see the light and get a Gasser we know who to thank !

You've all seen Helen Stark's razzle dazzle pink-flavoured TY175.
Now here is Wayne Stark's pimped up TY175, all set for full-on competition for Helen and Mark and maybe even Scorps in the unofficial custom twinshock concours d elegance at Brooweena later in the year.
Photos posted on Wayne's behalf

And here are a couple of photos of Wayne's pimped-up workshop, at the risk of upsetting people who want to keep the thread pure

It actually surprises me that less people do modify the looks of their bikes in trials... I mean the only reason I don't is cos i can't afford it! But yeah it surprises me more people don't modify sticker kits, colours, etc.. I guess when comparing to MX all their stuff is off the shelf, so it makes it easy!

Hey Gary.
Have you and your Dad decided that only gassers can ride at 'Belmont' now? So it's a blackmail thing!! Buy a gassa or else your 'priviledges will be cut off'? Sounds like that counts the Lewrys out now!!
Prob see you Sunday at PP

Personally I think trials riders are more concerned with how they and there bikes are performing, rather than how pretty they look. Hoping we don't go the fluro pink camo route, like MX.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy looking at Twin shock restorations and appreciate the beauty in different colour schemes. Modern trials bikes are cool enough without stickers ;>
That's a well sorted garage there. Helen and Waynes TY175's looks great.
