Thanks MX250 its always nice to watch that film. I think it was the 1974 or 1975 Scott Trial, which is an event that always reveals how badly some people can ride when they are totally stuffed.
This year a top-level pommy enduro rider rode the Scott on an enduro bike against the trials bikes and finished somewhere not too far from the pointy end which is an incredible achievement when the terrain and time schedule is considered. There is some video on Youtube somewhere of him riding one of the gnarliest sections which is quite eye popping. I'll have a look for it later on

Here it is. Paul Bolton is the rider

dont want to upset you guys but theres a clip on www.club340.ning.com of a bultaco trials out fit in a mx race

So that's why you want to put a sidecar on the RL - to beat that Bultaco trials outfit around the MX track?
I have seen a solo RL250 modified (successfully) for MX racing so why not race a trials sidecar?

I'm dumb not crazy, the RL outfit will be for trials use only, besides I already have a mx outfit

I reckon that's a great vid, from some many different aspects. It captures so much.

The number of camera angles and the production was extraordinary for the time. Shots obviously taken from choppers.  Pretty advante gard for the time I would have thought - especially for what I would have thought was a fairly minor sport.

Some pretty hard demanding riding there and some pretty tried and sore riders at the end I would imagine.
