Not half as funny as using Metcheck...... :D

There's a shop locally that does that sort of thing run by a woman called Anita Minge......

You've done it, I'll take your word for it mate. I have heard it said that the bit over Annat is nasty, remember watching at Trotters a couple of years back the shell shocked looks of people coming off the moor.

Her low cut top is obviously a method of distracting the observers....

.....and I'll have my wee camera on the furthest out places just catch any bugger that tries....I WILL PUT THEM ON HERE...name and shame

Looks like the usual mix of fun and nonsense but it's nice to see things mixed around a wee bit. That new bit on Wednesday could be fun and I can't remember the last time there was no Callert or Blackwater in the trial, then again leaves the ground for another year...looks like fun Meant to say as well, looks like a bit less road miles as well, Wednesday 20 road miles out of 77, Thursday maybe 30 out of the 108 are off road and on Saturday almost all off road maybe bar about 6 miles...fantastic.

Good images interesting editing. You don't have to go all out to get the specific obstacle in, I always think that's down to personal choice. I find it's more important to get the bike sharp and some sense of motion in the pics. If you look through the threads you'll see the bike is the key to it motion and emotion. if you can get in close, real close then you can take exceptional images that capture that little bit of something special that gives you a real essence of the sport. The Sigma 70-200 lens is superb but it's a heavy old bugger, (certainly not one you'd want to carry on the bike Copey). Get in close if you can and use shorter focal lengths...that would be my tuppence worth

I can hear the wild horses pulling you in the opposite direction....

Javier, I read that post and thought just how accurate it was until the last sentence.....surely you mean Castrol "R" PS....That looks superb No Jive

I've something rather better going to Texas this year.....

swine...i tell you I'm not staying and you arrange that....GIT

thinking aftermarket accessories here Wayne........

Guess you're more of a Sarah Palin man Copey........

I can't say I was ever enamoured of the woman but at least you knew where the country was with her, not like the snivelling, quibbelling idiots we've had since.....either way she did make life interesting.

Nice try... Carlos....nice try

Hope he proves you wrong

You need a seperate registration mate, register on the classified Site and you should be okay.

Go on Copey.....I dare ya to try that one at home...

Chaps, moved this in here from the Mechanical Talk general forum. Can anyone give Kwakerzack any more advice on solving his problems? cheers forum mod

think you missed someone from that list Carlos...

East coast of Scotland education ...... shocking ... so i understand it only 54 slots left

Gents, no more my bike is better than yours or Gas Gas is better than Beta etc etc etc Each type of bike has their merits and the best advice you'll get is to try as many different makes as you can before you decide. While a Beta might suit me, my advice might be pointless to you if you don't like it. Only you can decide what's right for you. When you've decided the look for the best value bike you can get, which has been well looked after and maintained. You'll see if you read through the bike specific forums which little foibles each brand of bike has. ta Forum Mod

Beardsall, that's almost as old as you are........almost......

Carr & Day & Martin, Brass and metal polish, it's brilliant stuff but a bugger to get hold of. I bought a couple of them a few years back in a proper ironmongers in Stonehaven

red Kola mate...all them e numbers... Not directly Andy T, it's a general thing really, I've said it at home in the last few weeks as well. Spot on Bilco Every five years or so the do something called a quinquennial review, looking at the way the relative agencies within the government conduct their business, whether they are profitable or not and whether they are enough of a cost burden that a return can be made on then when selling. Simply we're not in that category but as a visible agency in the UK our name always comes up. The Defence Met Board, our bosses, are very keen that something so critical to the whole infrastructure of the country remains a public body, they continually defend our position and that's been successful now for at least the length of my career, 25years. Contrary to the belief and malicious nonsense spread on here we do actually do a lot of good work around the country, you just never hear about the good stuff.
