I dunno. I think it's good there's at least one Lampkin that Eddie actually likes

The moderators cannot be everywhere. Every post has a "Report" button which will bring things to our attention which we may miss and we'd encourage people to use it. The language on this topic was totally unacceptable.

Pie man is back in. SUCKER!

They're being shown live so the dates will coincide with the actual events: January 24 - France Marseille February 08 - Spain Barcelona February 26 - Italy Bolzano March 07 - Italy Milan (tbc) March 14 - Spain Madrid As for times, you'll have to check Eurosport 2 schedules for those dates.

Sorry guys, but all FIAT posts deleted. I know it's easy for things to wander off-topic, but we do ask that the bike specific Forums remain bike related. Do feel free to start a FIAT topic in the Off-Topic Forum if you really feel the need

Ever started a topic you wish you hadn't?!!! :wacko:

HL said that video of her would never go public

Bloody hell! And Big John ain't even read this yet!

There is good reason for me asking this which will become apparent in time I need to build a list of EVERY manufacturer - no matter how obscure or how historical - who has ever built a competitive Trials motorcycle. This is my list so far, but I know I'm bound to have missed plenty: Aprilia Beta BSA Bultaco Fantic Gas Gas Greeves Honda Montesa OSET Scorpa Sherco SWM Triumph Yamaha Xispa

Some cool new desktops for your 'puters now on front page, here

Totally agree about the entrance and event kick-off. Far better when they did a bit of showboating on the bikes. The big screen was used for scores because the central suspended socreboard was broken and apparently the Arena had no dosh to get it fixed! You'll note they did change things part way through the qualifying so action was being shown on the big screen along with the scores. The white light was used because of the TV cameras. Bringing live TV into things was a potential recipe for disaster, but overall I thought it went very well

Copey has been sniffing the Bud Light again

Hate to tell you, but I don't think this is eligible

I guess it does ultimately, though I'm not quite seeing where your point is as everybody accepts the rules prior to posting and they're in place for good reasons as explained previously.

John is riding. Probably get his ass whooped by his eldest lad again, but he's got an entry

The events are being promoted directly by the FIM, not an outside promoter. What is supposed to happen is that the qualifying will take place as usual and then the Final of each round will be broadcast LIVE on Eurosport. This hasn't been tried before so no idea if it will work or not as we all know how erratic Eurosport can be, but that's the plan.

Allegedly the final will be broadcast LIVE from all Indoor rounds.

TC is NOT anti-Xispa or any other manufacturer. The rules are simple, have been in place for years and you all agreed to them on sign-up. NO ADVERTISING ON THE FORUMS. There is now a dedicated Forum where paying TC advertisers can post, but apart from that it is absoutely not allowed in any form. If it were then every Tom, Dick & Harry would be spamming their wares - and as I know from my experiences on the Subaru Forums where advertising is allowed and there is no control that a lot of innocent people have been conned. If Xispa or any other seller wish to advertise on TC then they'd be more than welcome. Our rates are way cheaper than the printed press, provide far more extensive exposure and are a 100% targetted market. As far as Moderators/Admins go, they are appointed by me, I trust them totally and will back any decision made by them 100%. Hope that clarifies things Andy

You're right. Technical issues last year meant it wasn't possible, but this year I'm assured it's definitely happening.

I am insanely jealous, but then I was when I first saw your place.

Not the only time he's done that Check the sweat - ewwww Our CEO tried to emulate him once and failed miserably.

Moved to correct Forum

OSET have the claim to fame that they produce the ONLY Trials bike I've ever been on!

He's American, not British. Bloody colonials can't get anything right!

Now that's now to drive a Scoob... Blimey
