SSDT Chat

Anyone got a programme from this? Trying to find out some history of a bike I`ve just bought that may have been there

any up yet? ty sirs

Hi, had a great time riding the pre 65 trial, i would like to know if any one got a pic of me at the top of pipe line on saturday, got to with in 20 feet of the end on day 1 and got stuck on a rock, i was no. 64 riding a norton 500t (1947) got the old girl up there on saturday, cheers Gary

Does any one have information about events, or could verify the Golden anniversary of SSDT as described by Wikipedia. Thanks, and Happy New Year to All.

Many congratulations to Dougie on his tenth outstanding success at what must be the worlds premier event. I'm sure that H Martin Lampkin would have been the proudest of fathers. Also great to see Jack Sheppard from Suffolk do so well to finish fourth.

A lad was telling me the other day that a 19" front tube will still stretch to fit the front but works better than a 21" on the rear if you need it. Anyone know if it works or not ? would make sense to carry one of them round if it does.

I have been given a pewter tankard, found at a car boot sale, bearing the inscription: Scottish Six Days Trial 1949 Won by R.Clayton It has the usual "Haud Forrit" E+DMC logo. Can anyone shed a light on who R. Clayton was and what he won in 1949 (as I can see from the records that he was not the outright winner).

I have been asked to write an article about a vintage Ariel HT3 that I have that took part in the 1955 SSDT and would love to find out who rode it in that trial. anyone with a 1957 or 1958 program or info that might help and add a personal touch to this article would be very helpful! Reg number RSF802 Frame number CRT514 Engine number TH121 Thanks for any information or pointers! Lenore

An article that I've read says that a New Zealander rode in the Scottish in 1969. I'd like to find out who he was. Would anyone have the results for that year so I can try to identify him? Thanks Peter Christchurch, N.Z.

I've been asked to share these photographs taken by Robert Little at the SSDT during the 1970s Photobucket Clicky Link For some reason, photobucket has stripped the spaces out of the file names. Not hard to work out who's who though.

I know this is a long shot but someone in this website is bound to have a complete collection of SSDT programmes so where better to ask. In either the '72 or '74 programme there was a b&w picture of spectators watching a rider going through a section at Ben Nevis (I think it may even have been Malcolm Rathmell) and it just happened that me and my dad were in the photo. I used to havre a copy but managed to misplace it over the years. I know it's a long shot but if anyone has a copy could you please post it or e-mail me a scan of the picture. For all I know someone may even have al the programmes online already. Thanks.

can anyone help me out there, does anyone know a chap called bob moore who rode the scotish 6 day back in 1973 he rode a suzuki back then where was he from and is he still around as i would like to get in touch with him i know this is a bit of a wild shot but there must be someone out there who remembers him thanks

here are the rest of my 1980's photos I have lost the negatives and only have a few prints left so have scanned them and put them on photobucket - see link below - Some colour ones to follow from 1982 photobucket link

Digging through some old paperwork and came across the 1983 official programme for the SSDT. For me it was the start of something special, not to bore you! but it was my first SSDT and I have been fortunate enough to ride a few more Thought some facts from this programme might make interesting reading: Riders of note this week some ''Blasts from the past'' 2. Bernard Cordonier - he has got to have been the tallest man on a trilas bike, good for a single long dab 12. Felix Kranstover - another tall guy, now the editor of the German Trialsport magazine 14. Adrian Prato - part of the Fantic works set up 28. Bernie Schreiber - never won the SSDT! 51. John Boy - fant…

A friend of mine rode the scottish around 1989 - 1990 . I wondered if there were any entry lists / programmes or anywhere to get some archive photos from. Any help would be appreciated Thanks The Wobbler

Wasn't at the ssdt last year which apparently saw the change to 20 minutes(from 30) as the time we are allowed into parc ferme for bike maintenance etc. Can somebody confirm that this indeed is the new policy etc. Also, sounds like mandatory lunch stop is now 20 minutes as well? Please enlighten me! Thanks

I've been busy uploading photos to an online server for safekeeping and I found an old hard drive with loads of trials related stuff on it. First up is 120+ photos from the Thu, Fri and Sat of the 2003 SSDT. Photo gallery is here... (The gallery images are at the original size so click the icon at the bottom to expand them then click again to zoom in if needed...) Also found a folder with over 80 gig' of trials videos ranging from club trials, BTC to WR's!

Was just wonderin if anyone new were I could get hold of this years DVD?? Usually see them floating about but havent so far??

Entries are now open, for all you lazy sods that don't bother reading the front page.

For those of you who don't bother reading the front page, entry forms for both the Pre-65 and the SSDT are now available from the SSDT website.
