    Ahhh, but they did it on one tankfull of petrol.
  2. Maybe the organisers should bit the bullet and lay out the trial for "standard machines" (whatever they are) and if its to easy for ex-SSDT winners on "heavily" modified bikes, so be it. They might then raise to the challenge of real pre-65's. Might.
  3. Dont give up, keep looking on gumtree, offer a reward. Dont rely on the Police.

  5. Thanks for posting, I met her briefly half way up pipeline a couple of years ago. Left an impression.
  6. Obituary printed in the London Times - Interesting and sadly rather true. Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, snce his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing
  7. He certainly knows how to live it up . "I've been known to do some dangerous and scary things, including one time when I swallowed before chewing my food fifty times."

  14. I would give myself several hours (years) familiarisation first, before getting to technical.
  15. There are also a number of very capable riders that are succumbing to age. As the sections get harder to take marks from younger riders on trick bikes, it forces these riders out. Is this really the intention ? Envy is a frequently used word, and is often true, but when used as a defence for heavily modified bikes, its not always appropriate. I find these bikes of great interest, but wonder how much satisfaction can be gained in beating a "standard" bike.

  17. I was talking to one of his friends from Skye, apparently he's just not interested in "proper" trials, what a waste.
