I figure the guy's an enduro rider and uses trials tyres for events held on military land.

A nun walks into Mother Superior's office and plunks down into a chair; she lets out a sigh heavy with frustration. "What troubles you, Sister?" asked the Mother Superior, "I thought this was the day you spent with your family." "It was," sighed the Sister,

Nah. Chavs have the attention span of a goldfish. Somehow both trials and enduros seem to attract a better class of participant and spectator. Maybe it's because you can't sit in one place and be entertained or it's all to subtle for their tiny little brains.

Don't know the TRP at all. I'm just very dubious about the Sachs.

Can't wait for the eye-toy version.

Is it the sport growing or is it access to the internet that's growing? There's certainly a lot of interest from the off-road (enduro) crowd. But how many of them have the patience to stick with the sport is an unknown.

Surely you can buy a new clevis and need not replace the complete shock?

You know Downs, you repeat that policy so regularly you're beginning to convince me

While on the subject of British bikes that should have made it (this could be a long posting) who knows what happened to the Mickmar engine?

Here's one close to your heart Dave:

Oh gawd, a charra (from Durbs, you know) obstetrician got bust last week. But no, most are welcomed with open arms. Can't really say much about the Sherco shock. I blew a Sachs on my last gasser and for that reason I bought a Raga, just to get hold of the Ohlins. Yeah I see that Gordon's riding again, please send him my regards too. Do you know what happened to James McEwen?

Done.

Bang on. He was 36! Gives us all some hope.

Better get used to it Bikespace, you'll be hearing a lot more of it. South Africans are leaving in their droves now. Whole suburbs in Auckland are South African now. BTW Saffers don't arrive and go on the dole. Your second line translation was spot on. First line: "Oh no, not another Saffer". Third line: "Send my regards to Charlie (Simpson)".

Is that John Husband?

Ag nee wat. Nog 'n saffer.. Louis, die Rev3 shock sal nee werk ne as dit 'n linkless shock is. Stuur my groete vir Charlie.

Which adjuster is where?

GBP10 to fill up and how much to get the car fixed after a mutha of pile up?

'k. Real question. Who was the oldest winner of a world trials championship round? Give rider, bike, age, venue and year.

Ah! Alan Turing, chutney ferret and lover of apples.

Caveat emptor.

He moves in mysterious ways.

That's a bit rich coming from a native of the country that gave us.....................................CURLING!

Apparently niether are the English cricket team

What about the cricket scores?
