nigel dabster

This sounds like the friend of a friend story and is ripe for an eplaination from John collins, if nothing else to put the record straight. I know for sure that if one of our club officials were to need to pay a fine then our club would pay I'm sure, but it really does depend on the cicumstances which we don't know about. And if I remember when I used to get the centre magazine unpaid fines simply mean an indefinate ban from riding and i spose officiating. Over to you JC?

mail me on hols till next week but will send list then, dave renham is the one for technical stuff at bultaco uk.

well done so much better than the balls. No 51 on the dabster list of good mods to the 340

Yes got the gist of it now read the front page, and yes the aforementioned four seem logical, if four are required.

Well if its based on indoor performances wiigys the one........................ A good performance at Cahors should seal it then

we had the same arguments when Raga came over to the British championships, but we were not afraid of the competition and we let him ride. How you can distinguish between south africans finnish belgians and british defies belief. Pat is a good youth but thats it, he is not going to get better over there alone regardless of riding with/against shaun or not. Shaun is top 14 in the world, but there are only 20 riders competing, and he would still win your pro championship easily, so stopping him riding on the chance of winning would do what?

It would be good for shaun good for gas gas usa and it would help the usa realise how much they have to raise there game to stand a chance at World level. Regardless Smage needs to get sorted in the youth next year as a measure for all over there.

Wiggy but I'm biased! its great that its non championship and we can give the young brits a chance, whoever gets it its about time we had a bit of british bias whatever. shame they can't do a mini masters thingy for youth in the afternoon or halftime?

DAZ (twin tub type)

Think you could be overlooking SH MG and not to mention AG LG and NG

The basic problem is that the new bikes are too cheap. The tyz was 4k what twenty years ago? How much were the first gassers? new bike costs go up second hand market is viable again dealers can take p ex and so on, think its got to be good for all?

Stump magnet where are you us or uk would help if its ON YOUR PROFILE!!!!!

33 pilot 118 main to start, the boysens would be smoother off the bottom but more top end, suggest you learn throttle control and ditch the qa throttle.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6930684.stm reported today foot and mouth confirmed in a farm in surrey, lets hope its not 2001 all over again.

ha way the lads

I'm not sure its "putting something back" more helping the youngsters/ supporting the loyal and no one can fault Sherco for this. Its something that they have done for a few years and a real shame the other manufacturers don't follow suit. I hope it pays dividends for them in years to come.

Bou and Dougie won there first titles around 22 so if browny and dibs are going to go all the way they had better get cracking, and in dibs case he needs to carry on with his progress year by year and within 3 he will be challenging I'm sure. Michaels potential is less measureable till he has a go in the next 2 rounds which will give a good indication. If he manaages even a point then the futures bright. Wiggy is only 17 now so has time on his side, if he can win next years Junior, which will be very tough, haslam Sampson, Gubian, Matterola, Danby, Gontard and gomez, then again a few WTC's will give us an indication. Bou 7 doubt it, but five and I would say very long odds for that. It is so difficult to see who will come through, but lets hope they are British! Alot of promise was put on Morris and Connor but they peaked around tenth. Jarvis was I felt in with a chance the year he did his knee at hawkstone. Manzano looked good, and cobos, so did kenichi before his wrists went pop, so there are many variables.

Lets get him riding first before he tries one of the "easy" nene valley efforts.

There should be a proper facilitysoon in Mk itself soon best thing is to join the club Milton Buzzard .co .uk Berko have a bit in Hemel, apart from that if you can drive there is Earl Shilton. Or hopefully my field should be sorted by the end of the week aswell. Don't be put off by the lack of places to go, Wiggy only lives 10 minutes from here and he has managed ok.

He broke two tapes so his ride was even better than it looked and second was brill.

Yes Alexz is still on a 125 till he is 18. (In fact the three podium places in the youth class were all taken by older lads) He was a bit disappointed with his result today but I think the little bike struggled on a few important sections. Sam Haslam in fact broke the tapes twice so he could have been even better, than his score. Well done to Michael who has been head and shoulders above the rest of the junior riders, I fully expect him to beat a few of the newer WTC riders in Andorra and Belgium.

There is some logic in this statement simply because in his age group, he dominated his class and is still beating the same riders convincingly in the Junior however, he isn't the complete article and lets see how he develops. After all, he is still only a nipper! To discount Dib's chances is pretty unfair to say the least. He continues to get better and score better so he certainly hasn't peaked. Time will tell Finally, seeing any British rider in the mix having a go is excellent considering how hard it is to get there in the first place. I will be shouting them all on You have evidence of this? if not, then I suggest you offer an apology for that disingenuous remark. Regarding Alexz, an astute assesment considering I haven't seen you at any of the WTC's this year! He could have stayed down in Youth, probably a more sensible decision as he is restricted to the 125cc machine because of his age, but what would that prove and to get experience and move on he choose to upgrade. Not too sure what you mean by age group references, he is not just still beating the same riders, Gomez cervantes Ross and others have all stayed youth, and the riders in junior some have been in that class for 3 years (Browny). Gontard Vacaretti Laia et al are all established juniors. To finish second in the juniors is an outstanding achievement, well done to michael Brown who has dominated and will be crowned champion at Hawkstone. is Alexz the finished article, well even up close and being a big fan, at 17 I wouldn't suggest such a thing, but he has produced some special performances this year! Will he go on to do bigger and better things, sure he will, just like all the crop of Young riders we have Dibs downwards, how far and when remain to be seen. Support all the brits is a good starting point I feel.

Thanks Andy A rider on the entry list he must be mad (aka The Crazy Frog) what is he doing, or even thinking, full house of marks for him. Good to see Jarvis riding thought he knocked WTC on the head last year. will jarvis be on the 4 stroke?

If you can all break out of your tabloid inspired world there is a bigger picture. Just to simplify it, looks like some need it, wet carpets and starving children (or needy british) do not compare whatever colour their skin or where they live. I was not suggesting we give all our money to African despots just saying that our lives are not too bad, even when wet, compared to some.

SOMEONE IN TEWKSBURY GETS WET CARPETS AND TWO QUID FEEDS A STARVING CHILD IN AFRICA IS IT SUCH A DIFFICULT CHOICE?
