The world trials championship only started in the mid seventies, and not too many years prior to that there wasn't production trials bikes just modified road machines.
Today's machines can do anything providing the rider can stick with it, but not too many can stick with it at the level required in world competition.
The only source of income to be made in the sport seems to be derived from participation, isn't attracting more participation the goal of any motorcycle association over what rules might be best for a few at the top.
I agree with a post of Dabster's it's time for a real change and not just a rule tweak one way or another.
All this worry about the way the world championship is heading, when most of us have little we could do to make any change at that level, however we can have a lot of positive input at club level and in turn that can promote change at the very top.
If you do that again you will go to bed without any supper, What a load of baldilocks not much point trying to keep up with the many rule changes, when the first infraction only get's you a stern look or gesture from the official.
Club trials can still be a bit of fun. as for the rest! it's nothing more than a farce.
The truth is, all the above goes on because they often get away with it, not until it cost big time will it stop, just like watching mothers trying to control kid's in the store, if they had of given them I right good lugholeing at the get go it wouldn't be an issue.
I was wondering if the glass was half full or half empty, then it got knocked over. doesn't look like anyone has the resources or desire anymore.
From the ultimate guide, So long, and thanks for all the fish.
