I think a new one is less than 20 quid. Try straightening the old one, they are quite soft & easy to bend back to shape.

First Monday in May, which in 2006 is the 1st. Event is based in Fort William.

Who's sent 'em off then?

Wrong Centre, Craven is in Yorkshire not Durham.

Which of the girls will get the first modern day Scott finish? Katy Sunter & Maria Conway have both come close in the last 2 years but failed to beat the clock, will any of them do it this time?

He'll not see which way Grimbo goes, I cannot see a first timer going quickest in the Scott. After all you wouldn't expect a road racer to go to Donnington & set fastest lap on his first time round would you? Have you ever been to the Scott Cubby? Even if you've watched it it's an completely different experience riding. 2004 Scott Trial Times. time marks obs total place 193 GRAHAM JARVIS 4:45:26 47 47 1 182 IAN AUSTERMUHLE 4:50:51 6 63 69 2 180 JAMES DABILL 4:53:57 9 95 104 10 192 PHILIP M.

Bit hard on the knees so I've heard.

Riding numbers have only been seeded in recent times (see the regs for details) so it used to possible for the potential winner to draw #1. Seeding is done in an attempt to keep the first man on the course & the last man as close together as possible. In recent times only 20 or so people can go round within an hour of the man setting Standard Time. No Previous Scott experience & knowing where you are count a lot. It would be extremely difficult for any top class first timer to get in the first 6 never mind win it. For someone who hasn't previously ridden it would be very difficult to gauge how fast to go.

Must have been on ITV, we could only get BBC where I lived.

If I remember correctly this is why the system was changed down here, many occassional riders didn't buy licences as they were seen as being expensive. I can't remember how much they used to be though.

When you are as old as Physco is, YES

I must have a bit of word blindness 'cos now all I can see you doing is prancing about in some dodgy highwayman gear & a go faster strip across your nose.

He must have just got in from his morning run, Scott fever is burning bright down Whaley Bridge way.

From what I saw there's plenty of room for a garage anex out back.

If Big John posted his bikes he could do pages 24 to 50 all on his own.

I assume your friend Harvey the invisible 6 foot tall white rabbit is stood right next to you. Bet you daren't turn up & ride the Scott in that gear.

suppose it'll stop any Andy playing with his monkey jokes

Well we've been a bit lazy & only put in 22 hazards this time but as usual we've made most of them plenty long enough so the riders will get value for money. The sections are straight forward but will provide a challenge for both the Hard & Clubman routes. All we need now is some willing folk to Observe & a sunny day.

I hope it's not foggy on the 22nd as you haven't got too many people to follow off the start field, I concerned you won't know your way to see Jim the Clock at the first section.

I do know that Gas Gas UK have some new 05 bikes left which I've been told will be a good price. You can contact them from their ad on the front page. For

If you are paying any more than 1000 - 1200 it's too expensive. It's very much a buyers market at the moment if you've got 1500 to spend you should be able to pick up an 03 bike for that money.

More seriously though by putting stronger footrests on your bike would that then make the weak point the mounting brackets on the frame? What do they cost?

Having seen you ride K why bother putting footrests on your bike at all?
