Musical chairs only starts in the last couple of weeks before the event, so sit tight & you'll probably get a ride.

RMC will be making an announcement early next week regarding this years Scott.

Are the skid plates made in china ? another quality trials motorcycle component, still its not as though a 4rt is expensive !! Along with the footrests & hangers I've heard dressed in black is even more expensive too, particularly if you fancy a Repsol. Considering you get a Rolex free with one it's not so bad though.

You mean he'd been let out?

It would be a good idea to post pictures of it. I've seen a lot of bikes on Ebay which have bits from all sorts of era bikes on them.

I've used both & would say that the Airoh is a considerably better piece of kit, when I replace mine it'll be with another Airoh.

I think you'd better keep quiet on that one , just don't go near a canoe if you know what I mean chubby boy.

Turd tool cable ties on a fork leg, bottles & pump in your pocket & the rest fastens to your bike, I put them in a bag across the handle bar brace. Why carry a bag?

You have to use genuine fuel cans, if you don't the refulling teams will not take them from the start field in the morning. Your cans will be returned to the start field & it's up to you to collect them from there, if you don't, we get 'em Want buy some? I personally don't like camel backs, you'll have drunk the lot by first petrol check so who's going to refill it?

You need 5 cans for fuel. Petrol checks 1 & 6 are the same place so you need one full can for this check. Petrol checks 2 3 4 & 5 are all different so you need a can for each of these but only put enough gas in these to fill one tank. I'd fasten a drink to all your cans & take time to drink it, lack of fluid = no energy. Travel as light as possible both clothing wise & tools. I think Gav named all you need. Don't worry about getting punctures, you only get them if you're going too fast & hit everything. Remember it's not a race you've probably got 7 1/2 hours to finish in time.

Unfortunately some bikes get big numb owners with sledge hammer left feet, when you grew up with 70's Monts you learnt how to caress them into gear. Never owned a 200 so have no idea how much oil to put in 'em.

Everyone who got an entry in before the 5th should have a ride, they came in thick & fast after that so it'll 50 / 50 if you've got a ride or on the reserves list.

This Trial has been cancelled.

The standard bash plate is a pretty miserable item & is best replaced early in the bikes life, fit a good quality one in it's place asap. You can get a bash plate back on easily if there's two of you doing it & while fitting the front bolts first is best you can do it the other way round. Biggest ball ache is getting the old gasket away from the casings, I've found using modelling knife with a #11 blade in it to be best for this job.

A father, son and grandson went to the country club for their weekly round of golf. Just as they reached the first tee, a beautiful young blonde woman carrying her bag of clubs approached them. She explained that the member who brought her to the club for a round of golf had an emergency that called him away and asked the trio whether she could join them. Naturally, the guys all agreed. Smiling, the blonde thanked them and said, "Look, fellows, I work in a topless club as a dancer, so nothing shocks me anymore. If any of you want to smoke cigars, have a beer, bet, swear, tell off-color stories or do anything that you normally do when playing a round together, go ahead. But I enjoy playing golf and I consider myself pretty good at it, so don't try to coach me on how to play my shots." With that the guys agreed to relax and invited her to drive first. All eyes were fastened on her shapely behind as she bent to place her ball on the tee. She then took her driver and hit the ball 270 yards down the middle, right in front of the green. The father's mouth was agape. "That was beautiful," he said. The blonde put her driver away and said, "I really didn't get into it, and I faded it a little." After the three guys hit their drives and their second shots, the blonde took out an eight iron and lofted the ball within five feet of the hole (she was closest to the pin.) The son said, "Damn, lady, you played that perfectly." The blonde frowned and said, "It was a little weak, but even an easy seven would have been too much club. I've left a tricky little putt." She then tapped in the five-footer for a birdie. Having the honors, she drove first on the second hole, knocked the hell out of the ball, and it landed nearly 300 yards away smack in the middle of the fairway. For the rest of the round the statuesque blonde continued to amaze the guys, quietly and methodically shooting for par or less on every hole. When they arrived at the 18th green, the blonde was three under par, and had a very nasty 12-foot putt on an undulating green for a par. She turned to the three guys and said, "I really want to thank you all for not acting like a bunch of chauvinists and telling me what club to use or how to play a shot, but I need this putt for a 69 and I'd really like to break 70 on this course. If any one of you can tell me how to make par on this hole, I'll take him back to my apartment, pour some 35-year-old Single Malt Strathmill Scotch in him, fix him a steak dinner and then show him a very good time the rest of the night. The yuppie son jumped at the thought! He strolled across the green, carefully eying the line of the putt and finally said, "Honey, aim about 6 inches to the right of the hole and hit it firm. It will get over that little hump and break right into the cup. The father knelt down and sighted the putt using his putter as a plumb.

I think that if you are patient & really wanting a ride one will become available. The club attempt to reallocate places until 2 or 3 days before as every rider starting means more money to charity.

The entry is now full & we are operating a reserve list.

Hebo boots are probably the softest on the market, they're like carpet slippers. I'd try all the different trials boots on the market before I'd touch anything for other motorcycle sports as previously stated they aren't supple enough. Big pity you cannot get the old style Hebos any more, anybody got a nearly new light used pair of size 45's they don't want?

Only one day left, you know you want to ride, get your entry in NOW!

Friday 7th of September is the closing date for the entries of this years event & a few places are still available to make up the maximum entry of 200 riders. Contact Scott Trial Secretary Julie Clement on 01748 810056 to book a place.

she must be special if you want to live in bloody Darlington.

I think you've picked up on some year old news, they went tit's up this time last year. The good news is that Hornby took on the range & have infact made at least one new kit release since the takeover.

There's somewhere to ride in the North East Centre every weekend & usually not to far to travel, don't know which ones are the best to go to though, although I'm sure others on here will know. Richmond & Darlington both run at venues in Swaledale, RMC dates are on their website & I think Darlington post their dates on here. For practicing near Darlington there's Croft Woods, never been so I can't tell you what's there, go to White Bros in Darlington for the information.

As it says in the title our Trial is not on Sunday the 2nd as it might be suggested in a weekly publication despite them being told otherwise. Club Trial for all classes at Braidley Saturday 1st of September starting at 1.00pm prompt. Please tell anyone who you think may be intending to go. If you go on Sunday a beer in Horsehouses is all you get, the Trial is on SATURDAY. Secretary for this Trial is Angela Sunter 01748 884549.
