Does this mean Border Bikes are the Xispa importer as well as the unofficial Montesa importer?

Hmmm,
That is going to be interesting, I'll have to ask the riders of these Xispas lots of questions on behalf of Nevis Radio then, could be embarrasing... (not for me!)

Well I wish them the best of luck !
The way I see it (my personal opinion) is that the more competition there is between manufacturers then the better it'll be for us, the consumer ?

They would'nt have entered 2 bikes if they didn't think they would finish the event!
Good luck Mr Xispa.

Some harsh comments 
The Xispas should make it round as long as the riders know what they are doing and take it steady...

You never know.....the Xispa bikes might surprise everyone.
I for one hope they do ok. If they do, it will certainly give everyone something to talk about.

Wonder what will actually cross the finishing line. Also it could be great to follow it around and then rebuild youre own after the event.
Joking apart i hope all goes well as we need more than current input into trials as the current choice to years gone by is limited.
