So Bou's doing us a favour by denying more victories to Raga then?

Some pics from Zambia. Including trials & motocross from Zambia.

I think you guys are overating the wildlife in Africa. Major point is that the wildlife has a serious problem with bipedal primates. Good reason for this. They tend to get eaten by bepedal primates so they've developed a distinct aversion for them. It's the stupid ones you worry about. The ones that haven't developed cognative abilities beyond "if it moves I must eat it". Lions are pretty scary creatures, but they'll generally leave you alone. However if there's a pack and they're hungry. Panic. Forget cheetahs. They're not that big (about the size of a great dane and not as strong. Leopards...hmmm, but only at night. Bull elephants in must. Forget it. A KTM 525 is a good idea. Hipppos are the second largest killers of humans in Africa, again mostly nocturnal attacks when said bipedal primates stumble on a heard grazing in a river bank at night. Otherwise canoeing into a breeding heard in a river. Crocs? Hmm, that might be a point. However both crocs and hippos are unlikely to be a problem unless your trials bike has a schnorkle. The biggest killer in Africa is the humble mosquito. Take your tabs and you'll be ok. *Edit* Sorry Javier I just reread your last post. I forgot about buffalos. But we agree on most.

See???

That doesn't bother BA. They don't even bother with runways.

Javier, I've always wanted to see Lake Naivasha and the Djinn palace. I have a thing about the whole Happy Valley scene. Interesting part of colonial history. You probably don't know this but I grew up in Zambia in the '60s. I have many great memories of that country. As a kid your parents biggest fear was not whether you'd been run over by a bus or whether you'd fallen in the wrong crowd but whether you'd been bitten by a snake and if so which species. Here's the co-ordinates of the house in which I used to live in Zambia: 12

Andat, at least you stated that your opinion was biased. Many claim theirs is gospel.

Montaco, if you PM me his name and contact details I'll give him a bell and put him in cotact with the right guys. Most likely Hamilton or Tauranga.

Andy, can't we have an exclusion clause in the terms and conditions for "which bike" posts? They ALWAYS end up in slanging match of the "my bikes better than your bike" type. Maybe a sticky with objective opinions of each model, written by seasoned members. Please? Then we can bounce guys whose first posting is "what's the best bike?" Sorry trialstime, my rant isn't aimed at you in particular but at the muppets that start the "my bikes better than your bike" angle to these threads.

A what?

In spite of the title you'll need sound:

Lions are pussies. BIG pussies.

Rumour has that Big John favours the one piece because there's nowhere to put his wallet.

Andrew, tried to 'phone you last night. Fancy a helping out tomorrow or are you working?

Pete, mail me the photo and I'll post it. BTW there was an aperture for the exhaust to pass through. The heat has made it bigger. Ed, you can't get those mudguards anymore. The last set went to Jared Bates and he's sold them. The 349 mudguards are a fit but slightly narrower and are white. The 348's are slightly wider and a sort of opaque/pinkish white. Pete I'm stuffed if I can remember what the bearing carrier on the rear wheel looked like.

Plenty. He can choose between three centers, Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga. Trials weekly. The calender this year is chock-a-block.

Impala, Pete. Springboks have different horns and have a white and black stripe running horizontally across their sides. Place where I used to work we had a herd of springbok. Buggers can breed! Sweet memories. No disrespect to NZ but I loved Africa. Just no place for the white man. Bad news what's happening in Kenya presently. Great shots Javier. I thought I had it licked riding next to dik dik, ostriches and rooikatte.

I was going to say a bagette.

And after those words of wisdom from John "where's me eyebrows?" Hird we'll return you to the programme..

I think the stamp was on the original brochure that they photoshopped.

To finish off the job and to fool poor saps like us? The brochure is photoshopped. Look carefully at the Bultaco logo on the first page.

Dave, read the pamphlet carefully. It's a homebuilt. A VERY professional job but still a homebuilt.

Definitely a CZ bottom end Dave.

Jeez Brian, I looked at the title of the thread and thought it was a remake of Brokeback Mountain with a trials theme.

Great site. Thanks Donald. I couldn't find Tony Down in the entry list though
