I do not know what you base your opinions on, but I think the majority do think money (a very small percentage of course) is acceptable to be spent on the elite. It happens in every other sport so why not ours?

Final Championship Positions:- 1st Alexz Wigg 135 2nd Jack Challoner 116 3rd Ross Danby 103

125cc A Class Alexz Wigg 15 Ross Danby 21 Jack Challoner 47 Adam Jones 49 Ben bowkett 64 Chris Keogh 69 250cc A Class Nigel Crellin 39 Buster Regan 58 Le Whelan 87 Grant Laming92 B Class Jonny Walker 31 Ricky Wiggins 32 Jon Richardson 35 Ben Morphett 37 Jack Shepard 39 Josh Stephens 39 Tom Sands 39 Alan Ayres 43

Much better way is to grind a little material off the spring a it one way then the other , good way to take a bit off and maintain the position and spring length both important. have a spare in case you do too much.

Disagree strongly and think that an under 21 championship should replace the expert championship as this has little value except for those on the way down? These riders could have an adult expert champ as well I suppose it would be on the same course so what ever. But I see the likes of dan thorpe already having the nationals to ride (20) and novogars which should also be eased up a bit to give the centre lads and soft southerners something so the present expert lads are not short on rides. However for youths most definately the A's should be moved up to this level and the b's and ladies and practice on the Saturday. Funding for youths should be for up to and including 18 years by which time it should be clear who will and will not make it. Take a look at it this year and you can see who is moving upwards and who is not. There has to be some money to help this elite as they are the ones who we need to be figureheads for the sport the dougies of the future. Entry fees and training is an absolute must and unless I am mistaken whilst jack Challoner may have had 2 days with jim (great but is that all?????) I don't think Ross Alexz Bert lee et al have had anything at all, money training or whatever, I could be wrong but if it is correct then it is a travesty, and should be of more concern than any good ideas we may have here. John? As far as a truck is concerned its not so much that which is not required of course it would be great but the cost is something that could not be considered currently, but its that we could make do with alot less and still give the lads a great help and make ther route to sucess a bit easier and produce better results. At one of the euro/wtc rounds I helped a rider swap tyres and Julian Wigg is often asked for technical help. This is a role that could be done from the back of a transit or small motorhome maybe just for a month or so when the events in Europe are close together, someone with a bit of technical ability could do say four rounds in Europe? Don't know who it would be but maybe someone like colin Boniface, who knows? I would see this as a bit of a Thierry Michaud role someone who goes round very proactively on the ground as it were helping to organise the British lads and says here are your start times you know its five hours 3 for the first lap, everything ok with the bike, you know what the sections are like any worries, coach and mentor/ mechanical helper etc???. In poland a couple of the Brits were prepping their own bikes, no problem with that except they were very amateur and didn't have enough experience. Surely there is scope for a training day or two to be facilitated by the ACU (in February???) and get someone like Mick Danby or julian ( two examples) who knows their way round bikes before the season starts and show them what is and isn't required. Ditto minders a days instruction from a few, say Mart Lampkin Jim and Shaun of what they do etc etc. The cost versus benefit would be great surely?

u 23 should be u21, if they haven't done it by then. Its not a lorry they need its a helpful person, will elaborate later. Alongside this they need championships to select and hone talent. Include A class in expert line at brit champs do away with experts class make this a junior champ a la fim wtc ie u21 only, rest can ride no award then championship class as is.

Always had 290's over 40 clubman and it was fine. Lots of grip on a sherco but must get weight back. gone gas gas now b t w

Floats set at 18.5mm and have you cleaned the filter?

No ! how much help have the ACU given you and the other lads this year, the Academy thing etc? i.e. what has the funding been so far etc?

I'm not riding Alan only want to take a few snaps, 20 tonnes hope thats solid iow rock!

perhaps someone there could take a bulk order to keep shipping costs down?

I decided to cop out. Bought a Cannon powershot 640 because it has the video facility and I didn't just want photos. To be honest my next onee in a couple of years will be a d 50 or similar. Thanks again for the advice.

Well done John, respect is due for an explaination which I believe few if any could have given. A pertinent point and one which I feel should be made is the long winded way it is to try to introduce an idea/propsal and how the forum (cancelled) and now TC can short cut this. Democracy rules and the little mans voice IS heard. Can't wait to start.

Its your event and you should choose, and as a starting point ability has got to be right. Well done!

We don't want to loose our ladies championship because we have some of the best female riders in the world in this country, in fact Becky Cook is ranked higher than D lampkin in this years world championships. We need to look after our ladies like they were our sisters doing well, and we should give them more respect for what they do. Why?

3 months old? sounds like a pre production model.

There was never a "series" of meetings cancelled, just this years due to lack of commitment. This is a great idea and lets hope it provides some items for the T and E committee.

top three in youth news apart from that try the s s website?

Yep sounds like a great idea. Knowing my track record on auctions perce should be worried.

Now there's an idea, Alexz world champ replica racing 125

Biggest difference to us here in England (uk) is that when we go to France there is apparently no speed limit on towing. To see a couple of bikes come by at 80mph is strange to say the least.
