slapshot 3

The extra quid was pocketed by the tight yorkie bell boy....

You've every right to be paranoid....isn't every parent there are some nasty Ba*****'s out there who just want to do damage, 21st century graffitti

I suppose our very own Ubergeek needs something semi normal to do so I'll go for the Corgi Car Collection (ties up with the scoob, I suppose, definately can't be modding the scoob, two big TC stickers don't count) though have to say the vintage wine s caught my eye...

Hi Gordon... What's this guy on

Scotland....Fort William....first week in May...every year Riding might not be fun but the beer and banter is great

You could fiddle that with photoshop Heath and kid on it's you.....

Why can't wtc organisers have more common sense like Crosser, Man and Machine against the terrain, perfect. Loads of years ago when we had a wtc round in Glen Nevis, Steve Suanders retired, he appeared at the side of the big marquee on his mountain bike to watch the end of the proceedings, asked him why. Too hard was the response. However, what this said to me and my reply to Steve was this: this is the stuff that connect trials riders whether you are a fat aging git like myself who struggles to get the bike off the rack never mind ride a trial or "immortal" like Steve. We can all have a day when it gets too hard, we can have days when the last thing we want to do is hit that chuffing big step on the last lap, cos you're knackered and know you're more likely to end up at the bottom than the top, chuff it and put the bike back on the trailer. You don't disrespect a rider of Steve's calibre for that level of honesty Whatever level you ride at you have a scrap with the terrain, we have to do it on our own why can't the good guys. they chuck their leg over a bike the same as us, they're just a bit better at it...respect the good guys but how much more would we respect them if the WTC was like Crosser suggests, and how many has he ridden in his career, think he might know

Thats nasty.... I Like it!!! Some ubernerd in here has a way taking a screen dump of the desktop and putting it in front of everything else. The screams of frustration are great, especially if it's a particularly irritating forecaster you catch... Not you Slapshot? I would never be associated with a cunning wheeze to upset my allegedly superior and more esteemed colleagues in here, well not till I had a Large Latte in the morning

Was that aimed at me? if so I get the avatar bit but not the spares? yup, pm'd you about the hub last week, she found out and I got grief....again!!

jeez.....man enough to admit it as well

What a shower..... Bit of choke, ONE kick, on 70:1 with Silky 2t.....piece of pi$$...though not in with the petrol obviously. Seriously when I got it I put a new plug in and blew through the carb before I kicked it over cos the guy I got it from had problems too. ....maybe it's weight behind the kick.... like the new avatar Barry, (ps she won't let me buy superflous spares........sorry mate)

Philcomm2000 I have a minor ( ) dimensional issue myself and have found the back boingy bits on mine cope fairly well. Granted it a little more recent Paioli shock but it might help... I moved the spring back to it's fullest extent then tightened the spring down 10 turns to get the preload okay the adjusted the brass screw to a stiffer setting..seems to work PS don't listen to R2, look at the "that's buggered that" thread you'll se why

Clicky Like the old gag What is the world's most reliable contraceptive.... Wedding Cake

You're in the smelly stuff now, TWICE Carolyn hates being called the missus and she says she'll bring WAR & peace to the scottish to throw at you and my copy is a hardback

Right you lot, I've seen loads of piccys of the trial but none of the night of debauchery at the TC get together.... Where are they? Is Andy keeping them for bribery purposes, does R2W have a batch that he plans to bribe Andy with...... COME ON WHERE'S THE PICCYS BOYS please

Welcome ladytrialer, it's a mad world in here at times Have your years of road riding taught you anything about navigation???? You should meet up with Kinell, might help him out........

Amos, though I have to agree with an earlier post that mentioned Bernie

So come on then...what was the weather like???? even on me hols still found inetrnet access...sad

Oh dear looks like it all slowed down still it's not raining any more so at least the beer won't be watered down. If you want the technical stuff, wave on the tail edge of the front slowed things down, rain delayed by about two - three hours. Tomorrow still looks pretty good

last call: No real changes, get this afternoon out the way should be fine

Just had a quick look at another couple of charts since I came to work this evening. Saturday, You could be really lucky and only have a few patches of light rain to deal with tomorrow might catch the odd heavier burst but not much, last nights model seems to have overdone it a bit. Pic 1 is three consecutive frames from what we call Morph (no not tony harts wee plasticine buddy) for 12z 15z and 18z tomorrow (1pm, 4pm and 7pm). As before smaller blue dots is very light rain the bigger dots a little heavier, green and yellow heavier still. By proper drinking time it should be dry 24 degrees Sunday looks ok, but there are showers around and you MIGHT catch a couple. Pic 2 again the rainfall intensity as above. 22 degrees so still pleasantly warm I'll have another look when the new runs come in around 0400 and put something else on Cheers D

Jack of all trades master of none....I'll say it before anyone else

Last Forecast for the weekend, I'm off on my hols now and missing Hawkestone AGAIN However, hope the pics work. What does it mean, well Saturday afternoon could be grim, a band of rain spreading across the country (the blue, green and yellow dots and triangles) through Sat afternoon and into the evening. The wind will pick up a little as well but temps still into the 20s, rain should have pushed through by mid evening and shouldn't water the beer down. (because of the geography around Hawkestone you might get away with only lighter patchy rain but you've been warned.) As long as there enough to irritate King Adam Sunday, no rain and fairly pleasant, though there is a chance of an odd shower as the day progresses but they'll be few and far between (the odd blue v on the 2nd pic) not a breezy as Saturday. Should be okay. The gray back ground: the darker the gray the less cloud, white areas overcast low cloud. Blue o's light rain Green Moderate If Andy gets plastered make sure somebody gets some good compromising piccys of him Hope the weather plays into Doug's hand and he takes the 100th he richly deserves. Pic 1 1pm Saturday Pic 2 1pm Sunday Have fun y'all

more likely the shaft through the swinging arm. replaced mine a couple of years back
