Now why you want that old heap for,your old fantic is lighter than that thing.

Thats the up setting part Dixie,i was riding the girle route,chuckle chuckle. I strongly suspect 86 put he's number on he's bike upside down and got to the sections before me the real number 98.. I'll see you all in the hard route next year chaps.

I have no results through yet Lee,i must of forgot to put my self addressed envelope in with the regs aswell,i will call Bill to see if he will post to me.

Not to mention there Towels are getting in the way and so early in the morning too.

Now look,this is why i kept well away from you lot..Hahaha That was my first real voyage out for about a year and a half,i was hanging.

Hey Lee. I've only just learnt how to stand up on Da Ting,now you want me to smile aswell. You've provided some nice pics and vid's of the Exmoor 3 Day,Cheers. As usual the camera Lense make's the Land look flat.

BA won't mind,they've been looking to sack some staff,i should imagine the BA chiefs are smiling slightly.

superhondaman your friends are running on westcountry time,nothing gets done in a hurry here,it's not a bad way to live. Also if they did'nt send a self addressed envelope down with there regs they won't get there results at all.

They could of gone into something called Members Voluntary Liquidation. Going into liquidation don't always mean you owe someone thousands of pounds. I contract for a large company that has just paid another large company 35 million to take the part of the business they've been losing 15 million a year for the last 2 years,they figure it's cheaper to pay someone 35 million to take the business than it is to shut it down.

Can't see why we're being so dramatic,there obviously just losing there old baggage so that they can move forward,hopefully this way the Sandiford name will be around for another 50 odd years. They will all be happier people getting away from Honda.. Love.

Judging by the Auction Sandifords have put into liquidation the junk they did'nt want to take with them.Haha.

How do we know Greeves arn't just setting themselves up to compete at WTC,BTC level and if they sell afew bikes on the way thats a bonus. As a motorcycle company do greeves have more disposable income than the likes of gasgas or beta or sherco. Greeves aint stupid they know how bad the economy is,they would of stoved this months ago if they was just set on trying to sell loads of bike's. I like the way Greeves have operated,they've kept it all low keyed and promised nothing,typically British.

Nice to hear there rolling,good that there paying out for top rider on board,i guess if they did'nt want us to know who's riding the bike they would'nt be at a public practice ground.

I understand what you say,if your going to modify an older mono bike to be on par with a newer bike the modified bike should stay with the new bike,thats where they should be anyway,its in the same one shock family. The older monos could become the most heavily modified Trial bike ever,you could super tune the engine to match the modern engines,suspension,hydualics,get some weight off. Why take a forward bike backwards when you could take the bikes forward even more. A builder that knows what there doing could make up a frame and use the running gear of the monts/yam/fantic/whatever.

Theres a bit of a diffrence from the cub to the mono bikes,,The cub already had a home the mono does'nt have a home. Thinking about it,would a classic mono fit into classic trials where the entry is largely Pre65/TS i dont think so,when the mono finaly matures they would need there own Trials,classic mono's or something,in the mean time they would fit very nicely into modern club trials.

I've always perceived something of being 25 years old and onward's as classic status. The guys wanting to put twinshocks on the monos to ride classic trials with are going the wrong way,the 80's/90's monos have everything the modern bikes have got,you would think people would be buying the monos and start shaving them down to make them as light as the modern bikes and then compete against modern bikes at modern trial,you would think that would be a whole lot more satisfying for the builders.Get hold of an old mono and you have a blank canvas.

To be fair your probaly abit ahead of the times there. The AC Mono can't be at the classic status yet,ok maybe a few of the early models might just of gone over the threshold but thats about it. This is why i think the monos are hanging around looking lost at the moment,they hav'nt quite reached there classic status. But the day of the AC mono will come around again,does'nt everything???

7 bids and only just got over the 200 mark,There must be a future for these old monos surley. I trying to decide if i should go on a buying spree of old monos and stash them for 10 or 15 years maybe then there be worth double of what i paid???

The rockshock man is still in business,ordered some just last week they came yesterday.

I too think it a shame you sent your 11 riders home,you had the option of sending them out in one group marking each other maybe even changing the sections to a one router as they went around,depending on abilities of course,you might of even started a new craze off that day,A one route trial which everyone can have fun in,your 11 probaly would of had more of a crack than one of the other trials that had 70 rider's.

I would prefer it to of been restored for that money,if electrics/suspension/motor need working on thats easy another
