slapshot 3

I sense the word commission coming out next......

Your feet are waterproof........

How bout a better poll. Which of the TC boys ends up in the care ofthe local constabulary first in Duluth

I think they are but not 100% sure, suspicion they are from the year before when he had his police problem in the Fort for allegedly getting around town too fast (Diplomacy or what!!), if this is the same year then yeah he would have done, because the zero came out the following year??? Really not sure dy

Last one for now, Doug, either second or third Scottish win, sure it was the Hat Trick but can't remember the numbers, the programmes are yet another box....... Ben Nevis, last section on the Saturday, horrible section only two cleans, even Colley had a dab, only one of the Ludgate boys(Sam i think) and Doug cleaned it the whole day.

Pic 2 Ex Scottish Champ Les Winthrop, again Achlain Farm, always think this and the Saunders pic are two of the best trials pics I've ever taken, purely personal dy

amusing myself now really, following posts my three favourite from the Scottish over the last 20 years or so First one, Steve Saunders first year at Fantic. This bike was a knackered practice bike rebuilt at the Sunday Weigh in as "confusion with the factory" TMX quote, meant his new one didn't turn up. Sammy miller ended up painting the numberplates about ten minutes before the weigh in closed. Sections are the top two at Achlain Farm ( for newbies it up near Creag Lundie), great group, but disappeared from the trial in the early 90's I think

Aluminium Works, John, would never have made Blackwater, I had father in tow Dy

Huge problems getting a pic with his feet up though dy

Superb looking Matchless, believe the rider is a bit ropey mind you.

Hiya, Did anyone ever make a specific conversion for the TLR's to upgrade to disc brakes, Front rear or both, just intrigued..... dy

Once played a double header (Ice Hockey) after a Friday night out with the boys, Tequila and cans of red stripe don't mix well.... Never felt a single hit the whole weekend and played better than when sober, spent the week wondering where all the bruises came from mind you. Hope the TC trial goes ahead on a weekend off so I can go as well dy

Doug to come back and take day 2 Hopefully

You've obviously been away so long you don't remember the temperatures here in October for camping! That's alright, the booze heats you up......

Andy, Mak it easy on yourself, hold it in Scotland dy waits patiently for torrent of abuse

James, Stick it on with a big reserve and a right to withdraw, gives you a couple of opt outs. That way you'll see what's on offer. I've been offered 2K for my 250 and it's not the best around, will be lots better when it's finished but some of the prices are rediculous dy

1985 ??

I bin my newly painted TLR when I get it finished I WILL CRY LIKE A BABY!!! dy

after he shovelled a couple of big stones in the hole under the roots that were catching everyone out......no stone unturned

Barrel looks huge, but WOW that looks awesome dy

HAlfords do a petrol resistant lacquer which will hopefully work haven't put any juice in it yet though, but have seen it used to good effect on a mates bike. dy

Every bike needs it's proving ground and where better than the Scottish, As Big John Says, Tarres and Beta tried and failed,so you can bet your last penny that Sherco will be looking at what happenned to come back next year and win, it's what development is all about Montesa/Honda have had a long run of development before the Scottish and that obviously showed, bet you Sherco won't take that lying down dy

Hi Matt, I know there's one in various pieces in Stonehaven just now. I don';t know how many were made but there seems to be a hell of a lot of themcoming out of the woodwork at the moment. dy

Never mind the mocking Kinell....well done mate
