  1. Great night last night John ,enjoyed by all,great still photographs and excellent video clips.The whole evening was a credit to you with the amount of research you must have done on each decade. It was very professionally presented and if done on the scottish week Im sure there would not be a building in Fort William that could cope with the number of people that would want to come.You made us all realise that for us living in the Highlands how lucky we are having (The Best Trial In The World)on our doorsteps,and showing how over its evolution it has been partly shaped by local people and the local community,and as you yourself had seen last night by the number of local riders past and present that had come along to support the night will ensure the sucess of the ssdt for future generations.

  3. post-3434-1160608017.jpgGREAT POST CHRIS.

    WE ALSO WENT ON THE 3 DAY TRAINING COURSE AND IT WAS EXCELLENT (EVEN WORTH THE 400 MILE TRIP FROM THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND) WE WOULD RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY.STEVE,DAVE AND ALEX WORKED GREATLY WITH ALL RIDERS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF ALL, EVEN THOUGH THE RIDERS WERE OF DIFFERENT ABILITYS.BEST WISHES TO ALL THAT WERE THERE,HOPE TO SEE YOUS NEXT YEAR.

    THANKS FOR THE PICS GRANT AND FAMILY

  4. JUST CHECKED TO SEE IF PLASTICS WOULD FIT FROM 07 ONTO 06,ETC .NO THEY ARE DIFFERENT, THE O7 HAS A RECESS ON TOP OF THE TANK/FRAME AREA TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW TANK PLASTICS AND THE O6 HAS A CURVED TANK/FRAME TOP. THE BIGGEST DIFFERANCE APART FROM THE FRAME WE HAVE NOTICED IS THE TRIPLE FRONT CLAMPS,AND THE FAT BARS,THEY GIVE THE FEEL AND THE LOOK THAT THE FRONT END IS MUCH LIGHTER THAN PREVIOUS MODELS AND THE CLAMPS ALLOW MUCH MORE STEERING LOCK THAN PREVIOUS MODELS,AS THE OLDER MODEL STEERING STOPS NOW DONT TOUCH THE STEERING TRIPLE CLAMPS ON FULL LOCK ALLOWING A TREMENDOUS AMMOUNT OF STEERING LOCK. THE 07 HAS TO BE SEEN IN THE FLESH AS IT LOOK VERY SIMILAR IN THE PICS THAT HAD BEEN PUBLISHED PROIR TO ARRIVING IN THE UK,BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BIKE IN THE FLESH IT LOOKS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BIKE,FRAME HEADSTOCK LOOKS THE SAME BUT TANK AREA COMPLETLY DIFFERENT TOP AREA AND HEIGHT OF FRAME,ALONG WITH LOWER REAR END.BUT THE MAIN DIFFERANCE IS WHEN YOU STAND ON THE BIKE TO RIDE IT,ITS STILL GOT THAT DEFINITE BETA RIDING POSITION BUT MUCH IMPROVED ,FOOTPEG POSITION MUCH BETTER,AND WITH THE NEW BARS AND CLAMPS THE FRONT END IS CONFIDENCE INSPIRING.
