Ok............ thanks for the clarification

So you keep reminding me.... However this is the pinnacle of Trials, the WTC and should be marked accordingly Oh by the way, in the SSDT, Doug got away with a 3 on Grey Mare's Tail, instead of a probable 5, but was still 8 in front of the 2nd place man at the end............or are you saying his overall finishing SSDT score should have been more than Dabill's final score for the week?? Anyway this discussion is about the Penrith WTC round and not the 2014 SSDT, so why do you keep referring to Dougie Lampkin in the SSDT

Blimey - how blatant was that ? If I did that & stalled in a Club trial (left dabbed whilst kicking the bike successfully - cos I couldn't do it feet up ) then continued through the section with just a dab at the end, I'm very sure my score would be a big fat 5 & not a 1+1 for a 2 Stall, fall off, miss a marker, leave the course, fail to move forwards under 'No Stop' rules was a big fat 5 as to my understanding Am I incorrect ?

Maybe, but the overall marks difference between 1st and 2nd was more than 2

How can a stall (engine off) not be a 5 and given a zero................beggars belief in a 'No Stop' ruling Every club trial, you'd get a 5 and make no mistake That's why I have little interest in WTC....... for me the world's best Trial will always be the SSDT Let's see BOU ride that one, in 2015

Sorry to hear that they work out like that One of the best mods on mine as I can park in anywhere and it folds up out of the way, with the foot above the spindle - so doesn't get caught up

How much? Blimey

Good one, get a Mitani one though Twice the performance & half the weight Most people junk the Honda stand as it bends easily & then the bike falls over

Blimey I just wash mine, wipe it down & just spray a bit of WD40 on the chain, never chain lube Lube stuff & check everything - only remove stuff to work on something

I reckon there is a new bike in the offing Now that all the old ones are used up in making the 2014 Mont 260 They have seen that demand for the bike is still there with the 2014 bike, they are confident that a new model will sell

Looks great - now get it dirty

Some amateur pics I took of the British Championship event at Low Row, last Sunday Nice setting, for a Trial Section 3

Great stuff

Great news

Has it done a lot of work? or had a hard life? Any exhaust smoke? As said, do as much it needs

Make'em ride a slightly harder no stop version of the SSDT After 6 days the winner is World Champion Trials needs to go back to its core values & move away from the circus antics that it has become Make the sections long & tough, but not dangerous, over an eight hour day for 6 days, with the rider having to conserve his bike & himself in a proper test - with roadwork too Now that's proper trials for me Doubt it'll be popular though

Plenty of Elf on eBay

Well said, DADOF2

Well said I agree - more rideable sections would be personally welcomed by me

Dadof2..... It's a combination of it all Stop or No Stop This year's SSDT (which you intimated you would have posted it there, if you could & good to see Doug win by a greater margin than 2) Observers Section plotters It just goes on ad infinitum, round & round without conclusion Everybody is wrong except the rider, my advice is ride what you have entered & get on with it Alternatively if you can do a better job, volunteer to observe or assist the C of C to plot better sections

For 6 straight days For up to 8 hours a day For up 70 miles from Parc Ferme Sometimes........... in torrential rain, all day and riding in white water Then he'll be a true Trials allrounder..............just like Dougie Lampkin Dougie has out performed at WTC, both indoors and out Scott Trial SSDT

Not this again

Great work

Doug was awesome................very strong in his riding and mentally when I watched him He placed the wheels perfectly and to lose marks on only 6 sections out of something like 180 odd sections over 6 days is some feat His margin of score, made little difference to the Grey Mare's tail controversy too and hats to the observer of that section - he did a fantastic job, in difficult weather, high water levels and faced with a myriad of different riders The Observer is a class act, as they all were

Great 8th win, by a decent points margin too What a result, for a guy who doesn't ride Trials every week, compete in the british Championship or ride WTC anymore Even more of an achievement, in my book Pleasant chap, very down to earth at the sections and in Parc Ferme too Loved the SSDT, first visit for me this year and looking forward to next year already All the riders did brillaintly
