Oh you'll get a frosty reception from a few on here at the mere mention of an AMCA club up in Scotland Join it fella, great trials, great venues, just one or two of their members are a bit touchy though actually having just bought a 315r you may even know one of them

Is the entry similar to the 6 days where "x" amount are kept for certain riders/factories (yeah I know that sounds stupid in a pre65 but you know what I mean) or is it just a straight ballot ??

That is a very fair point.

Keep this to yourself, but just between me and you, I've heard it's in the Friday/Saturday before the main event

None of you are helping me make a decision here

What of the riders who wish to ride the same route as say their mates or sons, should they also be encouraged to "step up" but all they want to do is have a fun with their "mates" or "sons" ??

yeah, obviously I can see they are two completely different bikes, maybe I should've asked, is the 2010 the better buy despite obviously being dearer, if actually outside my budget.

I'm currently looking at a couple of 290's, one is a 2009 and the other is a 2010. Is there much difference between the models ? Is the newer one a better buy despite being around

Every ten trials I change my oil every 3 trials, am I over doing it then ???

Hmm.... Sherco 290 from Andy Shilton Can you elaborate please ?

What, if any, are the pitfalls of buying a second hand bike from an Top level expert rider ?? Like at British level ???

Despite great warmongering, you cannot get 3 points for the wrong size number plate. No insurance is a deffo 6 pointer, what you'd get for non road legal tyres I don't know I'm afraid.

Any thoughts on the Midland xtc 100 ??

That's a real pity, I've bought a number of bikes from them over the years

Looking at possibly buying an 09 290 sherco, what do I need to look out for when going to see it ? Is there anything that I should know about a 290 ? Just looking for as much info on it as possible folks.

New to the internet are we

It was me

Xmas....oops, bugger

He's only restricted if he competes in SACU events.

The one for you Nice

Nope, has I meant that I'd have said that

Would you buy a bike from one of the pros ? I see Katy Sunter and Becky Cook both selling their bikes recently in the classifieds !

Think you've maybe taken me out of context or I've not put over what I meant. I'm trying to explain to the fella that the stuff between the sections, over the moors etc will take just as much out of him as the sections will....No ?

The sections are a piece of cake compared to actually getting to the sections, that's what separates the men from the boys, the reliable bikes from the ones that fall apart. Good luck if you do get an entry, you will need it.
