OK I give in. You carry on with the bodges and even when an unsolicited newby has a problem you muppets still think you know best. I never said my way is the only way just reasoned why it was a good way. I never said you "gummy up my wheel bandits were wrong , even though you probably are. I will say no more on the subject, ever.

As most of the population is behind communist lines making all our consumer itms and more besides I doubt in the free world chinese is the most spoken, not by a long way. regardless English is the most universal language (luckily for us) without question and as Andy says the press releases should be in English

Alexz has yet to sign for any team/marque.

so have you got the permission to go to Guat?

Alexz was on a 125 and Lee on a 290. I think Ross is staying 125 this year.

do you have to pay for the land?

Tabloid garbage just won't happen.

By the scores it maybe was a tad harder than novogars should be but credit to the organisation if they were easing some then they have done the best they can. I think for a novogar Thorpey should be on one.

Alexz feels so stongly about this issue, see above, he said he would make sure he attended the Forum in February.

Thorpe 8 Ross 13 Alexz 14, only scores I have.

Lazzate is the club name aswell I think and there are lots of riding areas there so you might have to wait for more detailed info.

There are always two sides to this, and my take on it is for alot an Iris is fine. Put your bike on a stand and pressure wash the back wheel. Tell me which chain has least resistance. An iris. I think that as a Renthal is probably unbreakable then it must have more drag. Guys use wd 40, I don't. Horses for courses.

John, did alexz and ross get a letter asking their opinions?

Are the laying down of shocks moying one point to there fore give a rising rate and instead of a staright line it now becomes a parabola????????????

I love Iris Raga uses them so they can't be that bad. The lightweight ones are cheap enough to have a couple a year.

it wasn't a BTC forum that is excluded.

Let us know how it goes.

No one is saying all trials are to go fim just keep the BTC that way surely?

less rounds and only good ones would be better. Why has this series so many more rounds.

These bars are great, I have a set black chrome! Great if you like bar ends as they have theaded in serts. Lots of bling colours too, even Green!

In answer to those questions, no, no and no. However, my comment is directed at the ridiculous situation we find ourselves in by having three sets of rules all in operation at the same time. If you read my post, I certainly haven't critisised any of the three diferent rules, they all DO have their own merits. I personaly feel that full Non stop is the solution, but of-course many/most people would disagree. As John states in his excellent reply, the ACU will be consulting all those concerned and will make a decision on the BC in due course. For the time being the ACU can't do fairer than that. Question answered. I think that as a fair debate it would be sad if the observers and organisers, even Bdmcc's voice carried as much weight as the riders. It is their championship and if if its just for the top fifteen then as we have differing rules lets have the rules which benefit the riders views, a bit like positve discrimination. I did not observe or (obviously) take part, and my club would love to put on a round but a flat field with 8 sections doesn't test me let alone experts. However I did see a couple of rounds and Know one thing for sure that Grimbo would have won regardless of the rules, and doubt that the top 3 would be much different. So who are the FIM rules for? Well the only logical reason for changing back to no stop would be to try and exclude our upcoming riders from competing in the BTC. Dabill and wigg and haslam if they are he ones we need in the BTC and are our best next generation surely the flagship championship should be FIM rules? How much help has it been for Jack Challoner when he got his Youth championship that he had a BTC with fim rules aswell? Was it a big help to wiggy to get his World and European titles? You bet. Would we want to force these riders out of the BTC? Hypothetically look at a calender a clash, BTC and a good euro event, how would the organisers feel if wigg dibs and others did that in preference because the rules had gone backwards. Last years youth A and B was marked as near to FIM as it could be so its there already.

Always used them in my Sherco and had similar good results.

Travelling down to Devon loosing 7 marks (soft5) finishing 6th thats lame. The woe events are marked out for sidecars so I have given up on them. Lost one mark at the doncaster cup so thats just not hard enough. Hillsborough is usually very good though.

they are fine, phil ducker has competed on thiese for acouple of years and you are at his level i would have thought. the trials can be pretty lame though, it may be better to do some clubman course nationals.
