It'll never change, poor observers will always get grief generally by riders who think they are much better than they really are. A 5 is a 5, if they can';t hack it well they could always try kissball (sorrty football)..... Maybe we should have a proper rule stating that any abuse can be properly punished by exclusion, kick one rider out you won't find many at it after this

Sorry mate the phrase Pre 65 should give it away, it's not Pre 69.

Yeah someone to buy my TLR, fancy something built this century

Think you've missed that a bit FerretFlasher, Isle of Mull is a wee place of the west coast of Scotland not the one off Fleetwood by the way where you getting hold of all the honda spares you are advertising on Ebay

Very strong superglue

Most sought after bike....my TLR 250 when I to sell it hopefully...

It's not unique Andy, I've got ONE as well...... Just a thought It's a pre 65 trial only isn't it? no twin shock class by any chance.....

I was in a layby and totally agree with all four wheels off the road. I've seen some real dumb parking in my time up there! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thought the boys in Blue did a great job last week, they jumped on the clowns really quickly.

We were in the West End Hotel watching the windows shake... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ....It was just as much fun in Glen Nevis as well, spoken to work, the lightning lasted for over six and a half hours(in an area with a 50KM radius of the Fort), 2 inches of rain recorded at Aonach Mor, Cracking night.Got grief for going outside with my camera ...again

Funny Funny!! Hope your camera doesn't steam up Did you get any TC merchandise if so ae you taking any north?? See you there D

forecasts on SSDT site Well if you want to use some amatuers I won't go in the huff......not typing it twice, pack the wet weather stuff...

Come on tell us more, you can't leave us hanging like this:(

Why did you start It's in the blood, my father has been riding Trials since he was about 15 though, growing up in Fort William as he did, maybe the Scottish was his motivation. Been going to trials as far back as I can remember and before, attended my first Scottish six months before I was born Didn't have a bike until I bought one myself, appreciated it much more that way. Wasn't riding for about 15 years, too much involvement in other things, ice Hockey mostly, but dad had the honda lying around doing nothing and he always hoped I'd get back into it. One day out was enough to convince me of what I've missed on the riding front so bought it. I love it, I'm crap but I love it. Why do you continue to ride? The crack, the fun of a clean (every now and again ), nice long runs between sections, the crack, friends you've known since you were a kid are still the same people 30+ years later, getting into the over 40 class in November, someday, I might beat my old man (still fanticising). What would get more people riding trials? Probably the realisation of how much fun It is. My mate has been coming to a classic club trial/scramble with us for the last couple of years, an excuse for more beer, I can see him giving it a try at some point soon, introducing him to the Scottish next weekend, see what he makes of that. Awareness is everything I have that problem with hockey constantly, shows displays at other events anything, Alan, this is a brilliant topic to pull up, not only does it make you think about yourself, but it also lets you see more about other riders d

Come on then OTH, it's obviously a reference to James Bond and Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond but can't think what scenes in a film shot there, From Russia with Love??? other than that: Ancient Clan battle involving the Fleming's: don't think so Reference to Alexander Fleming inventor of Penicilin: too tenuous and he was another Ayrshireman anyway. Reference to Kenny Fleming ex Scottish Trials Champion ??? The pie company in the north east.... the things you do on a boring Saturday afternoon at work Come on Mark don't leave us hanging

I was aiming at the initials W D, is this a tribute to Willie Dalling if so it's fitting, dy

Wonder where "WD's" comes from.....

Six days routes now on the SSDT website

Raga will bounce back hard this weekend, (though we can always hope he blows it )I suspect he left himself too much to do in Spain otherwise he'd have taken that as well. Doug will be there or there about's and like most I was very surprised to see Bou take the win

He'll have the Japanese phrase book out already ... won on 52 from Raga and Doug, both tied on 60 but Raga had three more cleans than Doug

Worse still, my dad IS a local, born and bred in the Fort, no family left in town though, but yeah I'd love to call the Fort home as well.

Tour du Piccy, HL is right Corpach off in the distance and Loch Eil stretching into the distance towards Lochailort and Pipers Burn. The collection of white dots in the bottom left is the Glen Nevis Caravan park. the Hill to the left middle obscuring Fort William is the "Cowhill" to the right is the Meall-an-t-Suidhe Lovely pic

Funny, yep but I think daggs888 is probably correct.

His name is Tommy, that's all I've ever known him as and I'm sure he was there last year, as you say a real character and not to be messed with..

Sounds like a good Idea Atom, don't think they had a rule like that in 1993 though, might have helped...

I remember the World round in Osnabruck in Germany where the time limits became a necessity, some riders spending over an hour at one section, taking three or four minutes to ride it then haring round the rest of the lap, not exactly spectacular to watch. time limits for the top riders in sections is a must, a time limit on the trial is also important for Observers and riders alike. There is a big safety element involved with this for everyone, not just riders. I am a huge advocate of no stop but agree with other who have posted that something has to change but at the top end the next world contenders have to work on the same playing field as their continental counterparts. Until such times as the WTC gets back to what trials should be (IMHO No stop)instead of a circus, we have to give the likes of James Dabill the chance
