Gary, Dennis Sweeten Apex sports sells them, they work fine he rode with them one winter so do did a few other riders in the club, if you fall off and rip the grip and wires out it could double as a kill button. You can link of the www at the bottom of my post.

I must admit I did have to start wearing riding gloves, but this was due to the calluses on my hands getting just a bit too rough and complaints from the missus making me forgo foreplay come to think on it!! if I'd wore the riding gloves in bed it would have had the same results

Bloody pansy, wet the hell dust tar need heated grips fer, some u.s. flowers rode last years SSDT with heated bloody grips, now there should be a corner of Trials Central, reserved for this sort of rider, could call it the powder room, or soft bugger are us, er summet!! if tha needs bloody heated gloves thas stood around too much and not riding the bloody thing anyway. Don't buy heated grips!! sell the bloody bike and take up knitting :snowman:

Ek of a good turnout for the Richmond trial Perce, didn't count them but looks like a full result sheet. See you got the clubman trial dialed.

Any results, or are you all still falling over it pub?

Seasons greeting from myself to all, be safe and enjoy. :hat:

perce, Kinnel, ishy, now that has to be the trialcentral team of the decade for the Scottish, shame Marky is such a wus

What were you saying in chat about a spaniel Andy

Owertill, just love the mozake? spelling but thi knows what I mean

I'm ten year older than you and no DL thats for sure, it is a long tough event and you have to keep going, but the sections are sensible and nothing stupid. But isn't that why you want to try it!! if it was a club trial with an half mile loop every bugger could say they had done it, to get a finisher award you know you have earned it.

Nathen Lad, is't tha back in action

My old girl did the same, all looked fine!! it's the oring that needs replacing and don't overthighten. Also, the oring is common to many models, as is the drain plug, new XR's have the same drain plug

My point lads, now and again we get a laugh out of some of your posts, but buggering up every topic with the same tripe you always put gets a little old after a while. At least the live chat only lasts a few minutes, and doesn't ruin a whole topic.

Gavin, Tecno, somone might actualy be interested in the chances of a Trials Central trial, but then read the threads and see it's just two youg un's braggin how big they think their whip is. Now the lads who put the last event on like this would be only too glad to have you go down to yorkshire and show them how it's done.

Thanks r2, but Sparky got me sorted I rode the a 200 many moons ago and had no trouble with the plastic guard, but now finding new cases if I did whack it just right could be a lot more spendy than putting a alloy one on.

Should be ok bodging whats bodging about riding for your own country? Maybe you could help me then, what country should a Englishman ride for? Doug is Spanish champion, also spends a lot of time there, should he ride for Spain? Me thinks you would be the first to p*** and moan if he did.

Billy T, and John Collins, have they been informed about Trials Central?. Andy, you said Stuart C's emails contained a virus, he asked me to contact him, and we havn't seen owt from him in a day or two, wonder if he is out of action due to PC bug?

Bikespace, when we first bought the place you couldnt walk down the back it was so overgrown with blackberries and weeds, bit by bit I cut sawed and burned my way thru it. As it got cleared I started making sections and tried to keep it looking nice, I'm proud of it because it was mostly hard work that made it not money. Quite a few of our club members are buying homes on a bit of land they can make section on. I have seen 20 acre lots near Goldendale selling for $20,000 not bad if you compare against an average new car.

Never thought of it like that Boofont, has a brit, I did what was required to be legal to ride the scottish, if I was American I would have to go with the AMA!!!! because I'm a brit living in U.S. does it mean I have a choice? don't know but why ask why if the ACU license is cheeper

It is all on less than three acres, with two sections on the other side of the house. In all I have built eight sections, most of them have multiple lines but my favorite and the one I ride most is the creek, it's hard to clean more than once in a row. Under the trees stays firm all year but gets slick as snot on an ice cube this time of year. Some parts I don't ride if real wet as I don't want to turn it into a mud hole. The whole idea is if someone who didn't know saw it they would just think it was landscaping.

I have a few more to post Nigel, but all the obsticals were trees or rocks traded or got off the property, when we bought the property in 89 it cost $90,000, about 60,000 quid, worth a lot more today, but it would cost the same or more to move to somthing like, if you move further out of town the lower the price gets.

In the woods I set many large logs and rock cobinations

The bottom half of the creek looks more natural with larger rocks and transplanted ferns, very slippery if not ridden for a week or two.

I got a mate with dump truck to drop rock, then I set them in place with the little massey with pallet forks, it's too hard to ride on the twin shock and hard to clean on the Sherco in the dry, on a wet day like today forget it.

I see some posts on what lads have done for sections in their back yard. These are pictures of sections I have built over the past 12 years, in my back yard. This creek is all concrete mixed a bag at a time and stones set in, the water is from the land drains but only runs when it's wet.
