Yes that's old B40RT with a jacket he still uses, I'm sure he had that SWM jacket at Alvie last year, am I right Ross?

The secret is out then, we can all breathe easily now!

I hate keeping secrets, but there you go.

That wily fellow Scot, Tommy Sandham (known to me as TDS!) is out of retirement and compiling a book specifically on the Pre-65 Scottish Trial. It should be available on sale at Kinlochleven this very year!!!

It's about time there was a book about this very special trial which complements the Three SSDT books Tommy wrote which of course I have in my collection of bikesport publications which threatens to take over my office here at Big John HQ.

Now where is my wallet? I'll have two copies please TDS!

Mr Rapley has been advised that Mr. Sandham must give up a minimum of two copies of his forthcoming book as competition prizes on TC in return for the extensive plug he received tonight. I believe Mr. Sandham is in agreement to this arrangement

In some of the photos i've passed to Tommy the throng at Pipeline is incredible, in fact in one pic of Dave Thorpe you can barely see the section behind him as so many people surged in to see the top, that's how it used to be, P65 and the big trial. Same at Ben Nevis on the Saturday, used to get hundreds of folk standing ten deep craning to see the riders.

Oh my god, I am sure the wifey will willfully take a tenner for these at the garage sale when you croak!

I know better than to ask, but you got any good shoes size 10?
