We need some rain leading up to the event for Dougs sake (remember last year on the Saturday walk round and Raga spitting his dummy big style ) still suppose it will be dry for him in the jury office when he hands in his protest at around 4.30 next Sunday.

What year is it? The older gassers mid to late 90's had a habit of breaking the selector pawl that sits behind the clutch basket if the gear lever had the slightest knock, this would then jam the bike in the gear it was in. Not sure if the modern ones are the same set up and if they still suffer.

As said in an earlier post if you go to the tourist spots like the sphinx and Giza pyramids the sellers dont take no for an answer, they will put things in your bags on your head and tell you its a present but guess what? you try and walk away and they kick up a major fuss. My mate has got the gift of the gab and thought he would start to barter with one before you know it he had about ten around him, we ended up near on running back to the coach to get away from them.(even the guards around the Pyramids are corrupt). We went in September and nearly melted god help you this time of year, I recomend you take a good fan.

Oh yes it can.

I feel a helmet-cam moment coming on that was spoke about earlier in the week.

Havnt you got no job to go to.

Not a good result for Bou.I know its early days in the championship still, but it looks like its all working in Ragas favour, I suppose thats good in a way, what with the cut backs at Gas Gas, wouldnt want the Team wasting time putting Adams dummy back in would we.

Connors not doing a full season just a select few from what i can gather.Not alot been said about Grimbo but I would imagine hes got another season left in him,if he doesn't take up enduro after his good result in The Tough One event.

Hi,wondering if any-one can help.Ive got an early 1995 250 Gas Gas which has crankcase cooling,I seem to remember at the time the later models had it blanked off as they had trouble with bearings spinning in the casing.(I could be wrong)My bike has developed a water leak by the banjo bolt where it enters the casing as the casing has corroded away any-one any ideas if can be blanked off or if somthing needs doing in side of the engine as well.Or any ideas on repairing the casing? Many thanks

I think from reading the interview with Amos in the double christmas issue of T-MX its going to be Amos as he mentions a much closer link with Doug this season, an he stated before he likes Team Lampkins way of working an drinking beer with Martin after events an hopefully theres gonna be a whole lot to celerbrate this season.(Title No. 8)

Yep R2W is right Active have gone, as he says I always used to use BVM and couldnt fault them for deliveries now deal direct with Gas Gas UK also very helpful and prompt deliveries.

Is it not to put the hood up,we all know how much Raga dont like getting wet. (Re. Saturday afternoon Hawkstone Park 2005.)

We were unlucky and had to park in the bottom of the field so had no run up to get out,my lasting memory was sitting in the boot while being dragged out by a tractor after pushing my heart out to get near the gate. Remember the first section in Busters what a hill climb that was.

Taken in the famous Busters limeworks I reckon.If I remember rightly that was the year Saunders had an out of this world last lap to win the trial, an didnt it ever rain that day,it took hours to get all the cars out of the car-park most on the end of a piece of rope!

Yeah ill second that Brian R, a slidshow would be good,great photos Andy,the next best thing to being there. The offcial Scottish website worth a visit as well with good updates.

Any Day Any Group every day is a great day round Fort Bill the first week in May,just wish I was going up again this year to spectate but the wife had the final say this year got to take her to Zante the following week.

The little magnet isnt attached to the spokes on this model its screwed into the hub on the disc side of the rear wheel inside of the brake disc an its got around 8mm hex head and the reciver bolts onto the brake caliper bracket. Your lucky the clock still works my hole unit gave up working atfter around 2 years.

Andy havnt seen anything yet so my apologies if im repeating another post, will you be doing your superb coverage from Sheffield indoor again this year as you did last year. Happy New Year to all Trials Centralers.

Twinnshock is right in what he is saying,but I believe that there are a cople of centres around the country one of them being the South West that all trials are open to centre grade an you then only need to join one club in the centre to ride any trials events in that centre.

West of England British round results top 3 in championship class; Grimbo 8 (30 cleans) Colley 8 (29 cleans) Shaun Morris 12 Grimbo had a clean last lap after dropping 6 on first lap.

There won't be any results until late Sunday afternoon as Saturday was not a world round it was a Europeon round.

I,m sure that I have read that the Britih Championship round is being held at a venue called Ruby Rocks not the usual venue of Kelly Farm. It was held at Ruby Rocks about 5 years ago, it is near to Bovey Tracey off of the A38 on the outskirts of Dartmoor.

I thought there used to be a time control at the last group of sections and then you were given a set time to get back to Fort William in, too quick or take too long you got a penalty. The weaving in and out of cars and scary over-taking is what you get at any road trial that I have seen (trials riders not known for their road sense)

Rather than the usual which boots I thought I would ask which goggles? I ride a few national trials a year on the road and also the odd long distance trial and have been using a cheap pair of goggles & the elastic is crap just wondered if any one had found and make,style better than any others. Also any advantage from having a face mask built in.
