Looks Familiar Pressure on with all those eyes watching you And these are the easy ones

Slow Down!

Think the most famous rider to ride a KTM at World Championship level was Ulf Karlson. Big John will no doubt correct me if I am wrong

Respect to both of you and your families Being a trials rider though, you must do 4 laps.... I had a Nephew aged 7 who died of Leukaemia, Birmingham Childrens Hospital was our second home. I wish you both well, and hopefully one day they will find a cure for this terrible illness.

Is it just me thinking WHY? and what is the point

I spoke to him also today, he had only been on the bike 1/2 an hour prior to the trial, as ishy said new bike, nerves etc. He did say that his clutch was dragging a bit so this could have contributed to the stalls, not a critisism of the Beta as I am sure that can be sorted by a bit of adjustment. He also at one point had difficulty in starting, nowt wrong with the bike as the Beta is a good starter from what I had seen, but a method I showed him was to put it in 3/4th gear and rock it backwards and forwards a few times, select neutral again and Bingo started first kick. But the bikes looked good today and Saunders was at his usual best

I really don't have time to go through your 5-10,000 photos and pick out my ones. If you don't have permission to publish them then none of them should be there. Some of them even have my copyright logo on them... Come on Andy play the game do the honourable thing and sort through his photo's, you have loads of spare time, in betwen work, TC, World Rounds, SSDT etc. etc. .........after all he did not pick up on the point that most of them might have a copyright So you can take yours off and the others may not notice

You just can't get the staff Maybe it is

Thanks Andy...................it made me smile writing it

Are you sitting comfortably.......... Twas the night before Christmas in a land with Big Hills and an abundance of Rain and Snow ..............Scotland. Andy and Higland Lassie (stay with me you lot this a story for all those that have got rambling thoughts about Andy and HL together????), travelled through the pass of Glencoe and stumbled on the ''Little town of....Fort William to bring to this world a great King. Looking for an Inn for the night, having tried the 'Ben Nevis Hotel' and the 'Alexander Hotel' they were left no option than to use the caravan in Park Ferme in the West End Car park ! Word got out that a great King would be born and animals gathered ''TC Party Animals'' from the town centre! shepherded their way to the caravan, there were sheep and a Donkey (called Nigel Dabster, funny name for a donkey, but it works here), he was a wise and knowlegable donkey, what he didn't know was not worth knowing The birth of the great one arrived and HL turned to Andy and said '' A truly great one is born what shall we call him''..............Andy replied '' There is only one name I can choose, we shall call him . . . . . ''Mich Lin'' Not because he is great or cute, but he is always Whingeing and Whineing Then from afar The road to Malaig! Three wisemen team WOFTAM...........ishy, Perce and Kinell came bering gifts. They would have got there a lot quicker, but Kinell was leading...................but that's another story They arrived at the caravan and presented their gifts to the great one ''Mich Lin'' ..Chain Lube, 2 Stroke Oil and a tin of Bull S**t............................... To this day the great ''Mich Lin'' has used his gifts wisely and is out of Chain Lube and 2 Stroke Oil, but he has loads of Bull S**t left ????????? So thats the story of the TC Christmas Nativity Merry Christmas to all

Well if you havn't posted them first class today thow won't be in for a shout

More than a handful, seem to be quite popular from what I see at Trials

Statement ''I do'' without saying what you think could make it better, maybe you can let us all know I am sure Caroline will be grateful of constructive views to make it better. I did not go, but I am sure they put on an excellent day.

Sorry but I have to agree that the fun factor is greater on a 4 stroke, you may not ride it any better, but it will certainly make you smile When you want a match to start your fire let us know

Another Beta kidnapping I hope he gets a permanent minder, someone who knows him and who knows the bike would be great. Commiserations to Beta (again!) but good luck to Dibs You know you want one too

My mate was also at the trial today, said the bike looked good and Steve was riding it well, but he rides most bikes well The rumour says that only 20 are coming into the country, only a rumour??????

Yes, but we were that hot from the Radio Active Fall Out.........we rode round in T shirts all week Big John sorry your 1977 wasn't as wet as 1986, but any SSDT before the late 90's was a challenge, it is still a challenge now but you have only got to look at the scores of the winners in those years, by hell it were tough

Don't want to steal Big John's thunder on him riding the wettest SSDT ....................but? As the for Yorkshiremen said in the Monty Python sketch...''You were Lucky'' Just a couple of stories from years gone by, can't even remember the years but I do remember how wet they were. One year the river crossing to the sections at Callart was that high that the officials set us off in Park Ferme, only to hand our card to another official to put us straight on Delay, ''Result on delay before even riding a section '', they had to re-route us up to Kinlochleven. Possibly the same Year we got to a river crossing and there were 3 bikes upside down on the opposite bank full of water, having navigated North and South to find a safer crossing we decided that infact the flagged route was the shallow option??? Rob Crawford thought he could jump the bugger as there was a small island in the middle that would act as a bit of a kicker for the second part of the river, he turned round headed back up the track for a full bore assault ''this is going to be entertaining''!! Well he reached the island and skimmed across the water like Moses for the second part of the river and hit the bank at the other side in a heap, but made it, dusted himself down and dissapeared into the distance. Well I looked at my brother and he looked at me and almost in harmony said ''F**k That'' So our plan was to carry our bikes over one at a time almost above our heads, everything was going good until we got above our waists, I had a set of those Fantic waterproof overtrousers that started filling up from the top that when it started gettting a bit scary, but we did get both bikes across eventually, and not full of water Now that was wet............................
