wizardofos Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Are competitors in the SSDT allowed to use more than one bike now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highland lassie Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Don't worry - it's been noted. Unfortunately we were told too late to catch the 'unnamed' (as yet!) culprit in the act, but rest assured he won't get the chance to try it again...not if I have any say in it anyway!

graeme17 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 This sounds interesting, any more cryptic info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'm amazed it has gone this far without being public as it was well talked about. I'm disappointed in the rider as he is certainly one who should know better than to try and cheat the system. And no, it wasn't Jake - his Beta did actually carry his pie-enhanced frame round for the entire six days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardofos Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 The bike in question was making a "pop pop pop" noise early in the week, then a "pam pam pam" noise midweek, before "pop pop popping" again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpaf Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Mind, to be fair - if the committee wish to save a few bob on finishers awards they could do a lot worse than mark a few more bits of the bikes during scrutineering. I was stunned by the amount of 'outside assistance' that went in to many riders bikes. The term reliability trial seems to have got lost somewhere.

baldilocks Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Can we have some more clues then which bike ? has the rider been found guilty of swapping bikes previously ? I can confirm it was not Gizza 5 or Kinell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) I can confirm it was not Gizza 5 or Kinell. No I was on this one ALL WEEK Edited May 25, 2008 by GIZZA5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timp Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Gizza 5 Looking at the size of the storage capacity on that bike couldn't you do a mobile fuel supply service and help keep the SSDT going single handed now the army has given it up.

ikb Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hmmm, multi bike...multi rider seems more interesting!!! I wonder if they mark the riders with this special paint? One bike six mates, a day each and a party every night but one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big john Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I know exactly who the rider was, but I am not prepared to spill the beans on here. I even approached the "guilty party" and asked if he had any problems with the bike during the week with such a serious and direct look right into his eyes that probably left him in no doubt that I knew exactly what had gone on! I knew what had happened during the morning the trial went through Piper's Burn! I am absolutely disgusted that the rider in question did not do the honorable act of retiring, as he knew damn fine that he had been rumbled by observers during the trial. I did not ever contemplate that a rider of such standing in the trials community was capable of denying another rider an award by swapping bikes. The said rider should at least return any silverware immediately to the Edinburgh & District Motor Club with a suitable apology and "fall on his sword" sooner rather than later, to put the record straight without delay!!!!
