just been watching you tube and vimeo and thought of a way of mixing it up a bit. How about last section is a timed run UP the nevis range down hill course?

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

Hi does anyone know if the riders will still be doing the sections up glen Lyon?

While the top guns and young kids are just getting started, today's the day where the clubman riders start to look a little worn out. Some even wonder if they can last three more days? With that comes my shot of the day. Again, if you're not a TC supporter, pay up or you're out of luck.

Does anyone know if Alan Wright is hosting a talk at the SSDT 2012 please.

Are pidcocks doing a mont service at the ssdt?

has anybody got any good tips for Cabby as newcomer to SSDT this year? Having done as many years with a book in my hand as I have ridden It occured to me that the Scottish is very differently observed to what he is used to plus you have same observers for 6 days I just cant imagine him having ability problems in the sections. There is always the possibility of getting lost ..out of fuel...time etc. will he be tempted into the evil ways of beer and haggis?

Now here is a picture?? Hopefully the residents and the trial won't be affected? Report here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-21999542

May 1st through the 6th? Thanks

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

Just wondering. Back in the Good Old Days manufcturers used to debut new bikes or developments at the Scottish. Sometimes the paddock was the place to catch the first glimpse of next seasons "must have" ? Just wondered if anybody "knew" of anything

Ah well time for the abuse to start... Pre 65 and first weekend is looking pretty good from the Pics below 4th: Dry long sunny spells, 15 to 18 degrees light winds 5th: As above 6th: As above but a little warmer, 17-19 degrees 7th: Again as above but warmer again 18-20 degrees its a pretty settled pattern and the longer it stay that way the better however the latter part of the week doesn't look that great at the minute but remember that's nearly two weeks away. It's likely things will start to break down Wednesday/Thursday wet becoming cooler and showery after that.....more to follow before I leave on Thursday.

Hello can anybody tell me if there are any dates out for 2015 please.

Just a reminder for those of you that don't read the front page...SSDT entries close on Friday. If you're sending a form in this week, it must be with us by Friday, as the ballot will be done over the weekend and late entries will be too late....no excuses accepted! If you've posted yours and are dubious about whether or not it will arrive by Friday, email ssdtoffice@ssdt.wanadoo.co.uk - that way I'll make sure your name is included in the ballot so that you don't miss out. Good luck to those of you who have been organised enough to get your form in on time!

On Saturday morning my Dad, Duncan Young a long time member of the Stevenson Club, suffered a Stroke as we were packing up ready to leave at the end of the day. He's okay and was moved from Fort William back to the local hospital in Ayrshire today. I'm really happy to say his condition is improving in leaps and bounds. This post is purely a huge thanks to the members of the trials fraternity who have passed their best wishes and messages of support back to us by phone, email and every other method possible since Saturday. It's probably impossible to contact everyone again so on behalf of the whole Young family THANKS I asked the boss if it was okay to put this in here, …

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?

What time does the parade start on the Sunday as I can not find a time table on the website considering an early set off to catch it as never been up on the Sunday my usual is a Monday morning set off and straight to lagnaha
