  1. Cracking couple of days , blessed with the weather on both days a little damp at the start of today but cleared up in time for watching the riders. Wasn't sure how I was going to take watching non stop at world level , I think I still prefer stop but saying that the young lad preferred it this years non stop.

    We saw one of the minders on the new 2014 Scorpa , well at least that's what we think it was

    Cracking riding . Was quite funny hearing that observer getting booed on last section but the smile on his face when he gave Raga a 1 and everybody cheered him.

  2. Got our tickets for the World Trials Rounds on the 26th-28th July through the post today.

    Ends up young lads in London the week before and doesn't fly back till Friday 26th .

    So we have four spare tickets for Friday , now Fridays a great day brilliant to watch and get used to the sections , see the new bikes , speak to riders etc. and best off all watch them practice which is sometimes more entertaining than the trial.

    Price : Free to any Trials Central Supporter .

    Well worth going to see what can be done on a trials bike.

    Will post first class.

  3. It's going to be funny a trials bike with a new engine and it will be reliable in its first year of production.

    My mates Montesa is like the Toyota Hilux in top gear, while others makes are breaking around him his gets no maintenance falls off cliffs and one kick away it goes.

    Surely if Montesa get there price right we have to start asking why other manufacturers can't build bikes to the same quality.

  4. I think a lot of riders who aren't competing for championships are just keen to get a reliable bike you can just ride and not spend the rest of the week preparing for next weeks trial.

    Montesa have been that that bike but being so pricey a few haven't taken the plunge. If Montesa price there bikes along with the other manufacturers I think it's jobs a good un. Folk are saying its not a new bike because it hasn't got a new frame , it does have a new engine though and the Repsol one looks the dogs.
