No buying and selling via the forums guys. If you want to negotiate stuff do it by PM.

Cabestany: "I have seen many news that talk about my retirement from competition as something done. My last post was about the team with the one I have been competing for the last years both nationally and world championship. My human team for practicing or for racing days. Paxau, as we all know, retires, Lluis finishes his minder role, and David starts a new adventure with SRS motorcycles. I don’t even say goodbye to Sherco. I still have meetings to do with the boss of the Sherco, Marc Teissier. It is true that there are other options; Some to continue competing, some to continue in the trial world but not as a rider, at least at world championship events. Now it's time to think about it, study, fine-tune all the options and take a decision. Don’t worry, I will let you know about my future as soon as I have everything clear! Meanwhile, I will continue training and enjoy the events pending till the end of the year at the handlebar of my Sherco ST300. Big hugs and lots of gas! "

The real life job is getting in the way again ?

Addingham Moorside to be precise since it's not a secret any more

It was a two year deal. Original story here

Contact Mr Wylde. Ask him why he decided to launch an attack on the very website that put extensive time and effort into helping him with it. The same website that ran it at a loss to help him. It won't be coming back on here.

One thing that people really do need to consider is how much they are giving away themselves on social media. For example, I know of one guy who has all his Arsebook posts set as public so viewable by absolutely anybody. He posts photos of himself, his bikes and himself riding his bikes. In some photos his bikes are on the driveway with the house clearly visible in the background. On top of that he also has a business he runs from home and he shares posts from his business Arsebook page to his personal page. What does that business page have on it? A map with his house pinpointed. Might as well stick a sign up saying "Motorcycles here, just take them". Think carefully what you put on social media. Check your privacy settings are friends only and then check you actually KNOW all your friends and don't just accept friend requests willy-nilly. Like phishing, these things are becoming more targeted.

There may be some value in that. A "Gute Fahrt" might provide a bit of extra propulsion.

Apparently on Dave on the 7th, 14th and 21st of December. Three episode series from what I heard.

@hillary over to you

Ian Austermuhle was first man back. Not bad for a bloke who's more into the MTB scene these days. Dabill had an early puncture that put him a fair bit back, but stormed right back to be amongst the early finishers. Jack price was a good bit ahead at Surrender, but had dropped back come the finish. He could have had problems. Normally get results between 10 and 11. Gallery on front page

Strangely we were having this exact conversation at the lakes last weekend. The vast majority don't give two hoots about the world championship and, from a vertigo standpoint, Doug's SSDT wins will have done far more for the brand than the WTC ever could.

John Lampkin for #1 rider.

Perfect timing for Johnboy's WTC comeback

Bernard Estripeau, the new X-Trial series promoter is French. That'll be why. To be fair, he knows how to put on a good show. They often have a theme with nice set dressing and fancy lighting. It is a circus, but people seem to enjoy it.

I've had a good dig and can't understand why that topic doesn't exist. Only two people can delete topics - me and the person who started the topic. I can't see anything in that archive that would suggest either I would have reason to remove it or OTF would have had reason to remove it himself.

We have been advised by his family that, sadly, former DOT factory rider, Wilf Couldwell passed away peacefully last Friday, 29th September at the age of 81. The funeral will be held on 14th Oct at 11am. St Teilos Church Llantilio Crossenny Abergavenny Monmouthshire Wales NP7 8TD

We were talking about this at the Travers Trial on Sunday. Hawkstone was mentioned, but there are a limited number of days it can be used and it's under great demand. Apparently it's also VERY expensive to rent the place. Agree it was the best venue in the UK, but not sure it's viable or if you'd get anyone to take on the organisation even if it were available.

Moved it

Multiple topics merged. Having a single topic for a problem allows people to see what may have already been tried.

I've already had a pop at Mick Wren about the lack of information on this. The teams are: Emma Bristow, Donna Fox and Jess Bown. James Dabill, Jack Price and Iwan Roberts

I do miss it, but last one was getting old and because of the high emissions the road tax on it alone was costing me £500 a year (or 680 of your Trump tokens)

Class sadly I've been subaru-less for over a year now. I miss the power

A while back I was given a rare copy of the book "Trials and Trials Riding" by A.B. Bourne, published in 1939. It was passed to me by a gentleman who had found it amongst his father's possessions and thought it would be of interest. He believes his father picked it up during his National Service and the book has "Orderly Room" written in pencil on the front and "Supplied for the public service" stamped inside the front cover which would support that theory. I've read it (it's amazing how little has changed) and it's now just gathering dust so I'll be donating it to the Scott Trial Charity Auction. Definitely one for a collector of Trials memorabilia.
