best post yet copemech, from a hobby dealer / importer eyes absolutely no money to be made in canada, personally, i do it as a hobby and i am trying to sponsor some young riders which is sorely needed in canada, some day I hope to break even on the venture, that's it...and if i do make a bit of money i'll be raising the sponsorship support received my bikes in aug, i've given (free) bikes out to three riders to compete on at four trials so far, very early days in a bad economy year. you do see xispa adverts on italian and spanish sites, i would think each country needs advertisement from their own dealers, importers on their sites etc. cheers

I just can't do right, thought i'd get rid of any posts that might have appeared to be biased but your slamming me for that now, but i know where your coming from don't i - let's all be friends now, i love you guys

i haven't posted that much here, you're sure you got the right guy? hmmm, must of hit a nerve, peace and love...but thanks for the message, kinda wish you didn't get into name calling and such but I do truly get that you don't want me to post on this forum, have a beer on me cheers

i couldn't log in, figured you deleted or banned me, no matter, all in fun, no harm no foul i hope, I'll only post facts if that's ok.

The C.T.C.G. is in the progress of being formed and will be initially comprised of one representative from each province however BC and AB will have multi reps during the start up phase. How the group functions, its future structure and mandate will be decided democratically by the group once it's up and running. Quite simply the group will discuss trials related issues and of course each representative will bring these issues back to their provincial riders for feedback. The C.T.C.G. has no decision making powers and is consultative in nature. Initial provincial representatives to get started are: Ontario - Bob Abell Quebec - Martin Roy Saskatchewan - Derek Thomas Moderator/C.T.C.G.
