I have a Spaniel called Starsky (he's red with a white stripe ) My original 'suggested' name for him was voted down by the rest of my family ...the name?..the name all male spaniels should have:- Daniel. Yup, Daniel the Spaniel. ...oh, trials related name:-Al..short for; Al reet fora 3? (I think that's someones TC name) Okeedokee,Wayne

You lucky sod......My 315 rear brake snapped like a carrot (a replacement was

Donald...you might as well consult your horoscope...have you got any comments to make about the SNOW?

I know, I was just yankin yer chain

This can get complicated so I keep it simple for my own sake:- Here's an idiots (me) guide to entering a trial: A trials course is like a main course at a Curry House: Easy course=Korma= Very straightforward,great if you're not a regular,no big surprises,you know exactly what to expect. Middle course=Jalfreizi= A bit more of a challenge especially if some-one behind the scenes adds in a few naughty elements to spice things up.Could be a bit sore the next day. Experts course=Phal= Don't try it unless you are used to it all the time,'cos if you're like me (tried it once for a bet) you will 5h1t yersel straightaway. We are also looking at a business transaction here: I pay my money so I choose which curry to have.

I think you and DGShannon are both being a little harsh on the Evo...I'm sure it has some redeeming features...I just can't think of any at the mo'

I am definitely not associated with this sale-----The hyper-rare 04 montesa 4rt ''...Never used competitively..'' but has a comp no. ? Was there really an 04 model? '...'Selling for a friend who now lives in OZ''....? Am I being too harsh on the lad?

Oi,Mark,I'll type this slowly so you get the joke: I'm a c**t remember. There now...it's not so funny when you have to explain it

It's cos the first chance they get to leave Scotland they take-off :rotfl: Currently Scotlands 5 biggest ring-pieces to ever 'wax-lyrical' about bonnie Scotland all live..where...? Ewan McGreggor......? Sean Connery..........? Billy Connolly.....? Gordon Brown.....? David Coulthard.....?

You can say that again,on mine,that was the most difficult ,time-consuming, fault that I ever had to chase down (I'm no mechanic by the way).

I am very pro 'green issues'...don't forget: I'm a countrymember...don't forget

My thinking is: If the lad is bright enough to research a specific component like this, then he's probably bright enough to suss out whether it's working as it should. Great find Rob,thanks for sharing your findings Wayne

Not a bad part of the world to be killing-time ! I've been there before and checked for myself ,I went in quite a few Mx shops and had to explain what a trials bike was,many times over. I think trials is mainly concentrated in the North of Florida (but I'm willing to be corrected) not near Orlando so it's not like Blighty where there's a trial 1/2 hour down the road. Save your trials-search petrol money and head off to the big name theme parks,I hear stranded Brits are being allowed free entry if you show your de-funct? flight tickets...just need to take your own bait to keep the costs down. Wayne

Hi Smalley,are you talking enduro or trials here? Cheers, Wayne

Oh yesssss

Genius,Mark,why didn't I think of it....Those Migs flying through your methane cloud would over-speed the turbines and wreck the engines Your bowels might just save the U.S. If you look out of your window now, the NSA/CSS are coming to give you your award personally....I can only guess where they're gonna put your medal?

Hmm..how could the U.S. test to see how Russian Jets tolerate airspace contaminated with...let's say volcanic ash? Well that's just preposterous isn't it?...you would need a sublime weapon, to agitate an already unstable volcanic region, using ULF waves. This region would need to be located where naturally prevailing winds could carry the ash plume towards Russian airspace ...and voila there's the next formula for a Bruce Willis film...he's fekin nails him, well,he's not really..the big tart cancelled all his scheduled trips to Europe after 9/11 'cos he was scared.

'No new atomic weapons development for the U.S.' says Obama. Nuclear arms reduction I wonder why?..more fuel for the HAARP conspiracy lobby.

Ahh,but they'd be so stealthy...imagine the fun you could have sneaking up and 'buzzing' those country-rambling-fell-walking-moaning-anti-offroad bike types?? Like the guy who is building a replica WW2 japanese Zero fighter and was impertinently asked what he was going to do with it?? Sarcastically he replied ''I'm gonna buzz a few retirement-homes in Florida first''.

Houseape....Going by your profile photo, that could be your sister holding those flowers

Hey Jon, Here's a coincidence:- This programme aired last Saturday..and the evidence for the presence of the midget-sub attack all hinged on the detail in the 2nd Denver Post (Japanese reconnaisance) photo that you posted a link to!!! The photo shows the sub briefly surfacing when it got caught up in the blast from it's own torpedo detonating on the side of an American warship. Cheers, Wayne

I was thinking along the same lines:- Neo , you told me to jam my wood in my primary gear and now you're advising electro-shock therapy! I bet you've got your own personal dungeon at home ,what next?..Michael Hutchence Windsor-Knot for stress relief?

Some fantastic images there Jon,thanks for sharing that link. A real mix of emotions when you compare that B25 skimming across the harbour then contrast that with the toiling soldiers, the 1/2 buried Jap or the shot up civilian car...to think that me and my generation feel aggrieved when we have a **** day at work?!

That's one giant leap forward for leccy bikes...not the technical package but the 'want one' factor

Sometimes a groaner is better than a belly laugh!!! ...Anyhow,while we're on,I've always wondered what's with the 'Jean-Baptiste' references? I gather it's some sort of French/Canadian niggle? Any info?
