There is rumour the Legend spent £48.70 on new bits for the skoda today and may be making a competition comeback at Stockenchurch this Sunday
If your riding there and find yourself saying any of the following, your looking at the Legend

What the **** is that bloke wearing
How the **** did he do that
That was awsome
They used to ride like that in the nineties
What the **** is that bloke wearing
Christ you would have thought he would have a better bike than that
Hes got odd boots on
The sole of his boot is half hanging off
What the **** is that bloke wearing
Hey mate is this a charity fancy dress Trial
How did he get the Skoda up that step
What the **** is that bloke wearing
Hes got an Iris chain on with 2 split links

Just scrolling through the classifieds and seen THIS ad. First I thought the Legend was after some new kit but when I opened it up thought it could be an oppertunity to give those boots a new home?

[The Addict]

Great find Barry the legend should get a fine 8 quid for all his kit, but I dont think he will be the same Dan we all know and love in anything but 70's Scott gear .
Good Trial today, just me and Dan, Ralph got lashed up at a party last night and the Goat could nt be a***d coming, biggish entry (70 odd) and the sections were mainly big logs and stumps/roots and bloody slippy. Me and Dan recon Dad set it out as hopping was the order of the day and a couple of sections you had to ride over your own tracks????? (mmmmmmmm thought that was against the rules. )I had a terrible first lap (dropped 92) but things got better on the second, third and fourth laps were spot on. Dan wasnt quite himself on the first lap either but the last Trial he entered was 1992 so he was abit rusty. He had some typical cracking rides on the really tough up your own a*** sections and out came the hopping sideways techniques to get back on line. Dont think there was many doing the hard route but alot on the 50/50 and clubman so not sure what the best score was aprox. Well set out trial and good sections considering the land is not the best for trials and although the first lap was well slippy the other laps became about right so well done the plotters. Had a chat with Richard Allen before the start, he was on a Sherco 4t ( ) (sure i saw that bike last week?) but didnt see him on any sections, knowing him he dropped a slack dab somewhere and tonked everyone else. Think Dan was on about late 30's and me about late 60's, bike went really well and by the end I felt i had got used to it much more. Half hour drive back to the dishes to finish the day off and 2 other Cabers up there Mike got his Friday and a mystery ex rev4 rider on the other? Nice!!!!!

[Ralph]

Justin that other rider was as tight as Dad at giving away dabs but he did not smell of pis# like Dad but he too was a joy to watch.
Clarky your old practice partner made a rare outing today and got the 4rt hopping about and he was not wearing his 92 gear either just some shorts but was on fire.
Justin you should have got Richard to come over we would have almost seen one of the inter center teams practicing, think they are riding as over 40s for the event?
I might be beaten up next time i see them all.
NICE.

[The Addict]

Ah yer Dan, young Tom came over today, didnt catch him riding though as i got there at 3.30 but heard he had been doing his stuff as usual, Ralphs throat is abit sore as well from all those Nice!!!!!! shouts. Dad is now well happy with the capabilities of his 4rt after seeing what it can actually do, just wish some of these young uns would see the light abit more and get a bike and ride them more often.
Ralph he dont give nowt away does he, even makes dad look like a slacker, think he likes the Caber though and i recon he will be tonking the young uns in the Mid Centre for years to come yet.

[Legend]

I've sobered up now, sorry for putting that mental image in your heads!

Great stuff Barry. A boiler suit, thats what I want!

Glad to hear my practising/drinking partner was out today. Get yourself a bike and dont worry about the results you Legend!!!

I had a poor ride today but I enjoyed going round with Mr Addict. I at least managed to get a few 'nice' out of him. He had a few of the locals worried

Q 'Do you know who that bloke is on the Cabestany Dan?' A 'Yeah, I think i've seen him around somewhere before' Q 'He's a bit useful aint he?' A 'Oh yes, he's a hard B******'

Dad, you should have taken my challenge today, you would have been smelling the money after the first lap!

Thanks to The Addict for the loan of the Toffee Crisp & Lucozade

[The Addict]

Toffee crisps and Lucozade, thats power food that Dan, Billy Craig would be proud of me I followed what Billy said about drinking lots of water before the Trial so had 4 litres seemed to work well but did p*** meself 3 times between sections 7-10 on the first lap.
