All fair points. But do the flashy moves you refer to, conflict utterly with the ethos of the sport ?

Possibly means the autolubs not working anyway. Close call ??

Except the House of Lords.... yet.

Another advantage to pre mix, which Tony mentioned, is that you can set the ratio, as opposed to whatever the the pump was set at. Which was probably nearer to 25:1 in that era.

Hope not, looking forward to another rant !!

Its an air brake, silly.

Fiddler crab ? Like this ? Of course in America they must have the clutch on the right !

You must have hands like a bear if you find early eighties clutches suitable in standard form for one finger !!

Was the Bantam engine British ?

Quite common on Bultaco's, timing as said above. Even more fun when your half way through a section and it does it, well fun for anybody watching.

Can a week on holiday ever be to long ?

Have you ever wondered what the difference between Grandmothers and Grandfathers is? A friend, who worked away from home all week, always made a morning available when he would take his 7-year-old granddaughter for a drive in the car for some bonding time aka, just him and his granddaughter. One particular Sunday, however, he had a bad cold and just wanted to stay in bed. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter out in the car. When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see how her Grandfather was. 'Well, did you enjoy your ride with Grandma?' 'Great, Grandpa,' the little girl replied, 'and do you know what? We didn't see a single t*sser, blind bast*rd, f**k-wit, d*ck-head, A*ian pr*ck, w*nker or a t*wel-head anywhere today!'

You need to spread your wings, must be another event at that time of year that could benefit from your photographic expertise !

A single currency only just works in the UK, I have never been able to understand (but I'm a bit dim)how the euro could possibly work long term.

City of London !

20 : 50 in a B40,

I have been looking at a colour DVD copy of the above events (silent) and would appreciate if anybody could tell me who were riders no's 84 & 90. Not sure which of the two years so if you could tell me both please. Thanks in advance Ross

Not dipstick ??

The sport doesn't want to lose anybody, but if we have to choose between riders & COC's ........
