Does that mean it's an ex-Colley bike?

But white. See http://homepage.ntlworld.com/williams73/Tw...nShock_Home.htm

And now, a few words from my sponsors...

Oh, so it's YOUR fault!

Don't know about the song but yes Bernie was in OAS2. One of the trials riders in OAS1 was Malcolm Smith others included Dave Evans (Lane's father in law).

I can think of a few choice things to say about barbour jackets but because John has several I'll refrain.

No relationship between the companies.

Martin, you are making my mouth water! Big John I never tagged you as an SWM fan John.

Do you mean the red or the blue power band ? Nah, Austini pretty much hit it on the nail. For most mortals a gradual power band is more desirable. BTW if and when you get to take a modern trials bike for a ride be warned, they may seem like pussy cats but they can bite.

Yeah, I was over a few weeks ago (and I've got to come back) it's looking pretty bleak. Nice to have 33 degs though (my african side speaking here).

With a footpeg up WHAT?

No fair. Can we have Stefan back?

Yeah, Kearney's a good bet (in spite of being a sheepshagger ). Proven reliable and he doesn't get hurt. If Knighter doesn't whack himself he'll win it. Eddy had a torrid time in the GNCC, so did Wattsie (after winning it once). It's a brutal series (as is AMA MX) and staying healthy's the name of the game.

Who reckons Knighter will walk it (like Salminen) and who reckons he'll get duffed up (like Eddy)?

Repsol, Telefonica to name two. Money.

???? The project was cancelled by Yamaha after the story broke in the weeklies. It was a twinshock based around the XT500 motor. I saw a pic of in the story mentioned previously.

I'd like to see Hayden win. Not because I'm anti Rossi but to add some spice. Sadly I don't think it's going to happen now. Mind you, I'd like to have been a fly on the wall in the Repsol Honda camp on Sunday evening. Betchya it got a bit heated.

Had some Tooheys on Quantas flights to and from Sydney the other day. Contents were so-so but the colour of the can was nauseating (sp?).

Classic!

Oh yeah, now I remember. It was white with a small Bell logo on it.

Deepest sympathies to the Belair family.

Talking of Bells (I still have my Bell trials helmet), Lane what was that Bell bicycle helmet you were wearing in about '79? Same one that that dude who cycled across the channal wore. Nice looking.

Have a look in Classic Bike mag. There's a company that's been making flat caps and the like disguised as helmets for years (dunno how effective or legal they are). I'll have a look in some old rags when I get home.

Hey Sir Trial-a-lot, please don't let this thread die. Great job so far. Waiting to see how the powder coating comes out. I wouldn't have thought that powder coating a chromed frame would work. Come to think of it, did you anodise the swinging arm?

ta very. Us out in the colonies don't see it on our google home pages. So Google's going after Youtube!
