  1. Hi Yes it is this is for my Grandsons bike could you call me on 07799 335534 Thanks Mark
  2. Hi has anyone got a seat/mudguard unit for this model kicking around Thanks Mark
  3. Hardly an International field almost the Spanish Indoor Championship with a French rider invited? Is the Indoor Championship sustainable? I take nothing away from Toni Bou the guy is almost unbeatable it seems and we weren’t complaining when Doug was winning everything, but it is a little boring in my opinion clean or five seems to be the pattern
  4. Maybe just stick a rule in there to say that if you rode at GP level and choose to go down a class ride on a no award basis? Happens in other events (Youth Class) this will help the progression of the youngsters through GP2 and potential Sponsers?
  5. Talk about making it obvious. He may have still won today who knows, but 2 ...... Farce!
  6. Orkney Island Medal ............ You wouldn’t have predicted that last Sunday? Great result ?
  7. Not a bad effort on the first day of the SSDT with 3 Scorpa's in the 6 clean sheets on day 1 Bet Mr Birkett was smiling last night
  8. Every year same old, same old with illegal riders following the course of the Pre 65 and published at the bottom of the results? These people are obviously not concerned about the future of both the Pre 65 or the SSDT. In some people’s minds it is like anything you are doing wrong you will continue to do it until you are caught, hence they continue and it will be the same next year. Publishing it year on year out falls on deaf ears and I have sympathy with the officials as they cannot man every bit of the course so what indeed is the solution to this ongoing problem to preserve both of the events? Maybe the landowners one day will pull the plug? If you are one of those illegals reading this.............thank you!!
  9. You Gas Gas boys say the 280 is more of a beast than the 300 so not always the case?
  10. @nigel dabster one of these would sort it. Son of Darius the biggest rabbit in the world was here last Summer?
  11. www.bunnybunkhousecoventry.co.uk Real ones lots of them
  12. ..........gotta keep up with the youngsters. This is how they talk to each other even in the same room sat next to each other. The only thing sat between me and the wife on the sofa is her Rabbit she has two now!!!!!!!!
  13. We all remember when JT bunked up in his truck years ago outdoing everyone else in the car park then it has just got silly with 40 foot artics. Possibly plenty of venues available out there but not the infrastructure to cater for the current set up so maybe by discouraging them will help the sport and more people wanting to host? Back on post great venue bring your passports to enter “Gods County” ?
  14. Yep you are right completely off topic talking about land use in England
  15. I remember as a Youth riding my Bulto 250 (you could ride a 250 back then) you could also as an 'A' class rider also ride adult trials. Remember once cheekily pushing my bike to get to the front as you do and getting a few looks! Only to discover when I was ready to attack the section selected first and the bloody bike set off backwards knocking a few in the queue over like dominos ???
  16. Yes it would be good if the factory riders were there again I was lucky enough to ride the years that they were there? As for using the SSDT as a test bed for bikes why should they? Most trials bikes are used for the club trial 4 to 5 hours of riding, one tank of fuel and rarely using the top two gears, occasionally people venture into road based trials 6 or 7 hours of riding still a single day and the top gear used? So the factories build a bike for this need light, small fuel tank, low geared etc. etc as this is the biggest market? Why oh why would they want to focus on a Six Day Trial and in all fairness all modern bikes cope well in the right hands. I mentioned small tanks in the 80's the rules stated for the SSDT that your bike should be capable of doing 35 miles to enable you to get to fuel checks with 4 checks most days the Thursday having 5 checks.. Today's trial the checks are c18miles more checks needed with 7 on the Thursday. Maybe the factory's should make all their bikes with 5 litre tanks just in case they enter the Scottish?
  17. Tell me about it I came 131st twice? That'll be the first of the Second Class awards ??
  18. Having ridden a couple of SSDT's ? I will give you my two pennath from 3 decades? From the 80's on twin shocks, 90's on air cooled mono's to the current pogo sticks the theme for the SSDT has been the same for me as a clubby. Standard gearing on all of these bikes 1st has tended to be too low and 2nd too high for 99% of the sections so have have muddled with sprockets to get a first gear in between standard gearing? Pointless asking the top 20 in the trial what gear they are riding this section in because they would often ride in second. Does this mean it is a better gear to use absolutely for them because they have the skill to use that higher gear. Same at club level I have often asked riders what gear they rode that section in 2nd seems to be the thing? Agree with Jimmy 1st on every section in the SSDT even Camasnacroise for me singing in 1st for the first 20metres ?
  19. The three wise men arrive to visit the infant lying in the manger...bearing gifts of gold...Incense...and myrrh. One of the wise men...who is very tall...accidentally bumps his head on the low doorway as he leaves the stable. "Jesus Christ!"...he exclaims. Joseph says..."Write that down...Mary.. It's better than Justin
  20. One for Andy and Donald? Twin sisters in a Liverpool Nursing Home were turning one hundred years old. The editor of the Toxteth Evening newspaper told a photographer to get over there and take pictures of the two 100 year old twins. One of the twins was hard of hearing but the other could hear quite well. Once the photographer arrived he asked the sisters to sit on the sofa. The deaf sister said to her twin, "WHAT DID HE SAY?" "WE GOTTA SIT OVER THERE ON THE SOFA!" said the other. "Now get a little closer together," said the cameraman. Again, "WHAT DID HE SAY?" "HE SAYS SQUEEZE TOGETHER A LITTLE." So they wiggled up close to each other. "Just hold on for a bit longer, I've got to focus a little," said the photographer. Same again, "WHAT DID HE SAY?" "HE SAYS HE'S GONNA FOCUS!" With a big grin, the deaf twin shouted out, "Good God! BOTH OF US????"
  21. Just had a medical. The doctor said "Don't eat anything fatty" I said "Like bacon and burgers?" . . He said "No fatty, don't eat anything!!!"
  22. Think tubeless front survived a year? I remember having a Fantic with tubeless front, you think it is scary pumping up a rear, but a font tubeless takes it to a whole different level?
