  1. Was there.... In truth I think the Portugese knew exactly waht they were doing - right from the start they needled Rooney and he's so thick that he just rises to it. We could and should have won it. I would actually like Germany to win it - they are hosting it fantastically well and the atmosphere in Dusseldorf on Friday night after they had beaten Argentina was something else. loads of nationalities all going for it........
  2. I agree with Atom - the bike doesnt seem to be that much of a disadvantage, but when it's made clear that the Japanese round was set up to help the Monts and they (Lampkin & Fuji) stil cant win then it doesnt look too good. I started the poll because I think it will be a very close run thing. I really hope he wins some more, but even if he does it wont be many. The top 5 still seem to be a long way ahead of the others, but Bou seems to be close to being very very good.
  3. Only 3 wins last year and mainly third or worse this year with an odd runner up position. Lets see.
  4. He seems to be close, but just not close enough....
  5. Why do all the top lads seem to practice in seperate trousers / shirts and compete in one piece? I think the jeans shirt combo looks much better.
  6. Not the prettiest bike in the world!! Todotrial (scroll down)
  7. Aah, the coffin. Would it be a TC do without the coffin?? I did manage to get the cow **** off before it went back to Big Chick.
  8. Saddo, talking to himself. I've found the next one in TMX - 7th June.
  9. Noticed the first Rochdale evening trial was held last week. Anyone got the dates for the others?
  10. Shops - Sandifords, Robinsons Rochdale, Pems, Birketts - all a bit of a schlep, but buy your bike from one of them and then get mail order off the advertisers on here.
  11. You'll be made very welcome at Bolton and Darwen clubs - both have starter trials and I think Bolton run some at Trax in Preston - not too far! Clicky - Bolton Clubthere is also a link to the Darwen site on the "links" part. Have fun.
  12. K is being far too modest - he features strongly as Clubman Winner in the Darwen report. The days of having a chance against him are long gone Darwen - good trial by the way - plenty of hard work had been put in clearing trees / scrub to open up sections. May be a little slippery when wet though.
  13. Will be there Mon, Tues Weds will catch up at some point.
  14. Whay not time limit each lap? 50% of the time for the first lap the 25% each for the remaining two. It's not like a club trial where they are looking at the section for the first time, but I acceptt they need to see how each one rides.
  15. 1975 was the first WTC. Just look at how many riders were entering those first events and the number of sections. Many won on 70+ marks with those coming in last on 300+.

    Daily Routes

    Cant find the routes on the SSDT site. Have they been published or am I looking in the wrong place?
  20. Said before - but a great bike to ride - very smooth and grippy, plus plent powerful enough unless you are doing expert route stuff.
  21. Got a Canon 350D at Xmas - you wouldnt be dissappointed. Jessops were the cheapest when we bought. (
