Do you need a licence to ride on the roads for this trial or what way does it work? Is it by the cc of the bike or the amount of hp it has? Thanks

I have come up to spectate later in the week this year than usual (arrived today) and not only have they run out of kid’s T-shirts and hoodies I can’t track down any stickers. Seem to have all gone. My lad will be gutted if I can’t find one. Does anyone have a spare one I could have for a donation to a charity of their choice or a drink at the bar or something? Cheers Dave

Edinburgh and District Motor Club are extremely sorry to have to announce the death of Kevin McColm, who passed away earlier today after a long period of illness. Kevin was a long-standing member of the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) Committee, and whilst he was most recently part of the Routemarking Team, he is best known for his role as Chief Marshal, a post he held for many years.

I am trying to contact on behalf of the Tailrace Inn three couples who regularly come and watch the ssdt each year. They have booked in for the first week in May when the ssdt would normally start. Their names are:- Keith Sutton, Mr and Mrs Johnstone ans mr Eyre. If anyone knows any of them could you please get them to contact 01855 831777. The Tailrace didn't take any of their info because they book in every year. Ta Scottie

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Andy once again this year for providing some outstanding pictures so quickly from Fort William. Its one of the highlights of the year on TC for me. I think I enjoy it more than the world round reports. The scenery, the sections, the rain!!!! Thanks mate for making it seem like we are there too, even though we are so far away! Cheers, Steve

Hi all, I am the happy owner of the book 'The Scottish 1900-1962' by Tommy Sandham, published by Willow Publishing. I would like to get the second volume, covering the period 1963-1989 by the same author/publisher. Could anyone provide some information on how to get this second volume ? Many thanks, Pierre

I'm heading up to the ssdt this year and heard ben savage was doing a trials bike display. Just wondering if anyone had any idea where or when it is? Thanks dave

I've been really enjoying watching the daily video reports from the SSDT. I've noticed a common theme covering all of the sections shown: Gnarly rocks and plenty of water. As a matter of interest, are there any sections that aren't set in treacherous stream beds?

Instructions on how to enter the 2013 SSDT are now on ssdt.org Entries will be via the website only and open on the 5th October and close on the 14th December To enter you must first register on the SSDT website although you can enter for your mates via your registration Good luck

Have looked in each day's results but Amos and Laia don't appear to be riding? Any one know why?

Maximum 20 minutes for a 'Snack-Attack'.................wonder how many burgers we can shove down our necks now? Think I will be taking the 10 minutes and getting down the road, especially if it is raining....................or snowing Kinell rule 3.1 as you say hope somone else does something stupid so the Pi**taking goes to somone else Hey Mark, if you make Lagnaha too hard and timing too tight on Monday, you could have loads of Observers come Tuesday morning Hey I am only joking....................................

Just a quick reminder for those of you who have a SSDT entry - the payment deadline is Friday of this week. No payment, no entry, so don't leave it to the last minute!

Okay, before the first days results are announced by HL,who do you think will be the winner at the end of the week? I'm going for Amos on the 4RT, lets see if a fourstroke can be victorious again in this great event. Come on Amos keep yer feet up! ............(or young Hemmo)
