Hi...What is the youngest age a rider can do the SSDT?

Are there any Xispas attempting it this year......? If so, how are they getting on ?

Going to be arriving in the Kinlochleven area about midday on the Saturday. Will the trial still be going on then? If so where would be the best place to head? I have watched the 6 days many times but never managed to catch any of the pre65, so would like to see some if possible.

Was thinking of a trip to Scotland to watch the Six day this year, is it allowed for spectators to take there bikes to go and watch some of the remote sections or is this not allowed. If this is allowed were are the best places to go and watch, please advise Thanks

Hi All Just scanning a load of old photo's for storage and need to know what year this one is from please. It is Nigel Birkett (I think) mid 80's. Thanks

Hello, I was wondering if anybody had any information of my dad from when he rode in the SSDT, I think he rode in the 1970s. One bike he rode was a works yamaha Ty 175, for Mick Andrews. Would love some pictures or results or stories. Many thanks Dan Oakley

the guys that I ride with all use Hebo auxilliary fuel tanks fitted behind their front number plates. This gives us extra range when out on the moors. I didn't notice anyone using one in the SSDT and wondered if they are not permitted by the trial regulations. Anyone know?

Seeing as they've all told you who they are, I don't see the problem in giving you a wee update on our TC squad every so often! As at close of play on Monday, relatively quiet (on TC anyway!) Diggler is storming ahead, and there's a few wee competitions going on elsewhere! Diggler is 51st with 43 marks dropped Trialero13 is 108th with 63 marks dropped Baldilocks is 154th with 74 marks dropped Gizza5 is 164th with 76 marks dropped Gasserboy is 166th with 76 marks dropped Ishy is 175th with 80 marks dropped Bucki3 is 193rd with 88 marks dropped Moulder75 is 210th with 93 marks dropped Timp is 215th with 94 marks dropped Kinell is 244th with 115 marks dropped Boo…

What a fantastic result for Alexz Wigg. A rider from the south midland centre where there is not a natural rock for 100 miles taking the Scottish. I know the results have still got to be officially confirmed. It also makes my claim to fame of beating him once in a trial sound even better (I don't mention the fact that i was 22 and he was about 8 when I tell this story). Congrats to the rest of the Wigg team as well. Nice pictures of Alexz and Julian at the end. I am sure he is very proud. I couldn't get up to spectate for the first time in a few years ( which is probably why the weather has been good) but sounds like the organisers did a great job again and overcame som…

SSDT 1982 Fantastic old footage just popped up on You Tube. Thanks Claudio.

After riding Beta's in Scotland for the last 6 six and had excellent support from Lampkins I am riding a 4RT this year. Does anyone know if there will be any support for Montesa riders this year in the parc ferme? Pidcocks are no longer the importers and I have heard rumours that Craigs Motorcycles will not be in Scotland. Those of you that know me will know that JLI have got me out of some serious trouble in the past!!! Being a Southerner I tend to crash through the rocks towards the end of the week lol. Has anybody else heard any news? See you in May!!! Cheers Tony

Anyone 'in the know' tell us when they are due please? The website says second week of Jan (last week). I heard a rumour we would be emailed yesterday (14/01) but not seen anything!

As I've just come across this on UK TV Play, I thought it worth a plug here. It's the humorous story of his attempt at the SSDT back in 2017, aided, abetted and lambasted by James Burroughs, with a supporting cast of James Burroughs' Dad and Ross's Tour Manager, who make up an excellent double act in the van!

Well people would like to hear your thoughts on what you think the weather is going to be like this year or what your hoping its going to be like. Wonder Boy

sorry to bother every one but i cant seem to find out when its on the tv? i know it was on on saturday but i missed it, does any body know if its going to be repeated and when and at what time ect.....thanks very much for your time

We'll be out again this year taking photos and video for TC. There may even be a DVD if we get round to it. What I need to know is your rider numbers. These forums are great but you never get to know peoples real names. This makes it very difficult to identify riders on the entry list. If you provide you rider number and real name we'll try and make sure you get extra TC coverage.

Considering a new bike and prefer something I can thrash rather than fight. Would a lower capacity bike, like a Beta 2T 200cc cut it for a SSDT first timer?
