Jeez Tim, I'm glad I live down under.

Neo, No warranty from your friendly Jitse supplier ? Second option, sell your right side peg and get a get a pair of TC indestructables.

Nigel was at the event. Maybe he has something for us, he really is a nice chap.

I feel you have done the right thing with your decision to invalidate the section. With the frank admission from the appointed observer that he purposly omitted scoring rider B because of a prior indiscresion / incident. This observer would be well aware of the out come of his actions when it has been pointed out rider B still came second with a 20 point handicap, so he must have been aware it was a two horse final decider. Keeping this in mind it is most probably fortunate that the section he was marking had a 97% clean riders participation. If he was marking a section where most riders where losing points his actions to enhance rider A scores could have gone unnoticed by anyone except rider A. This would have achieved a victory for him (the marker) and made rider B completely unaware of being cheated out of his rightful win.

Dave your gettin some of your riding buddies worried !

A very rich man living in Darwin decided that he wanted to throw a party and invited all of his buddies and neighbours. He also invited Jimmy, the only aboriginal in the Neighbourhood. He held the party around the pool in the backyard of his Mansion. Everyone was having a good time drinking, dancing, eating Prawns and oysters at the BBQ and flirting. At the height of the party, the host said, "I have a 15ft Man-eating Crocodile in my pool and I'll give a million dollars to Anyone who Has the balls to jump in." The words were barely out of his mouth when there was a loud Splash and everyone turned around and saw Jimmy in the pool! Jimmy was fighting the croc and kicking its ass! Jimmy was jabbing the croc in the eyes with his thumbs, Throwing punches, doing all kinds of sh!t, like head butts and chokeholds, biting the croc on the tail and flipping the croc through The air like Some kind of Judo Instructor. The water was churning and splashing everywhere. Both Jimmy and the croc were screaming and raising hell. Finally Jimmy strangled the croc and let it float to the top Like a K-mart goldfish. Jimmy then slowly climbed out of the pool. Everybody was Just staring At him in disbelief. Finally the host says, "Well, Jimmy, I reckon I owe you a million dollars." "Nah, you all right, I don't want it," said Jimmy. The rich man said, "Man, I have to give you something. You Won the bet.How about half a million bucks then?" "No thanks. I don't want it," answered Jimmy. The host said, "Come on, I insist on giving you something.That was amazing. How about a new Porsche and a Rolex and some stock options?" Again Jimmy said no. Confused, the rich man asked, "Well Jimmy, then what do you Want?"And Jimmy said, "I just want the name of the c*#t who pushed me in the Pool."

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made, and everything was picked up. Then, he saw an envelope,propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, 'Dad.' He opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands. 'Dear, Dad. It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you. I've been finding real passion with Stacy, and she is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her, because of all her piercing, tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am. But it's not only the passion, Dad. She's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children. Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't, really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves, and trading it with the other people in the commune, for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS, so Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!! Don't worry Dad, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself. Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit, so you can get to know your many grandchildren. Love, your son, Joshua. P.S. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that's on the kitchen table.

One of these babies would keep me happy.

Yeah Ham I think I know what you mean.... taste good too and usually the start of a fun way of burning a few calories !!!....so I'm told.

Australian Labor. You have two cows, they stand for an election promising plenty of milk and honey and cheaper petrol. They are successful and given the best of pastures but it seems they are nomadic. They grow big heads and seek to save the world from pollution. The owners now find they had a sex change and are really full of bull****.

Good on you Peter and Marilyn, hope you have a great adventure. Keep us all up to date on your travels with a few pics to really make us envious.. If you get the opportunity to have ride give us a rundown on the difference to our events. Take up ishys offer if you can, as I remember some pics he posted of his backyard, looked very inviting. Safe travel, Steve.

Thats great news Nigel, but have just been informed a 250 Raga the the Auss importer has been invoiced for will now not be supplied !

Reckon I could beat Bou is he was wearing a set of those glass's.

Cope , he's past trials events! He's at the next level..... get a five and your dead.

Thanks Billy, Dad probably won't even notice.

What do you mean Billy ? How about a pic.

Has anyone else received their new 08 Raga 250 ? Whats your take on them.

Thought you had missed this thread Cope !! If you want my vote you dont have to be so damb subtle, tell us what you really think boy.

Here in Australia the first shipment of 2008 came with the Marzocchi then there was a significant delay on the supply of the second shipment because of the no supply of the Marzocchi forks. The second run had 38 mm paoili without full compression , rebound setting capabilities found on the Marzocchis. .

How did young Jake Whittaker finnish the first loop.

Im in AA. Looks like it is always the fat ar$e$ and the stay at home and make sections in their back yard whingers that want no stoppy rules. The reason is of course they are to lazy to go out and practise or are to busy polishing their new bike that they dont want to practise on so it wont get scratched or dirty. Trouble is if they got their way and had no stoppy you would never hear the end of them whinging about how hard it is for them with their arthritis or friggin gout,they would think of something to go on about.. Truth is if they learnt how to do a basic stop and balance they could utilise this new found skill in a section and have a planned stop and compose themselves on trial day, probably get confident enough to have chat to the observer on how much his riding style is looking like Sammy or some other old timer from before the war, I dont care which rule you use cause I dont ride your wet slippery bleak cold trials anyway.

Here is a pic of mine, a 320.I purchased it from the original owner who personally imported the bike over. I believe this is the only one that was imported into Australia back in 1982. Will give it a going over when I get the time. Steveo

Here are a couple of pics of my rack. The bike is well secured in the wheel hoops and is strapped to the rear tyre for stability. Very easy to load and unload, really travels well on the Honda. Steveo
