Needle and seat leaking?

Seems I remember a little burn Doug was wining about. Jordan did the same this last weekend but not nearly so bad. Just riding with shorts. No crashing involved.

Looks like it would be easy to do it that way to me. Use excel for the names , bikes , class, loops , total score. Sort by class then by place and it will sort it all out for you. Copy and paste on another sheet, make a pdf. It should be pretty quick to do that way. Have I made this clear as mud?

Ya'll got me playing with excell some yesterday. I figured out what I thought was a neat trick. In the name column type all the riders. After you do that, highlight them and make the height .1. This hides all the names. Then when you start to type a riders name in it will automatically finish. I did the same for the bikes and a dropdown for the lines. I was just playing so I know it will need some more work. I know after the event you could sort and put the riders in order from 1st to last easy this way. I'll play some with the sorting of classes too. I also froze the panes on the top for the catagories.

I beleive that the Youth Nationals held at TTC have the childs age as what ever it was on January 1st. Are the other Nationals (ITS) different?

Here in Tn we have the "Entertainment Committee" Father & Son team that can put 10 years of abuse on a bike in 10 minutes.

Yep I don't ride enough but I've been using Av gas too for a couple years. It's 100 octane low lead. Seems to work. Our airport has been more than nice about selling it to me, must have been that dozen doughnuts I bribed them will a while back.

48th Mark Sturdevent from our neck of the woods!

Try one of these next time.

BTW, my son's official Indian name is"Argue with stick!"

Yeah, I'm the "Minister of Funny Rides"

OK, maybe I won't steal them after all.

I'm looking for funny excuses. Be warned, I'm going to steal them for a project!

We used to call them a half moon key. That's what they look like.

It's just hard to ask more from someone that's already done so much.

Yes, thanks Anj for all the shots and the other work you do for we folks that are tied to a computer most of the time. I have a question, is there a way to have the photo gallery set up with a slide show? One guy on an e mail list , I think it's Fire Captain? can show photo's this way. It's a nice touch. Thanks again, Brian

The 3rd annual CAMELOT trial was this last weekend. Your's truely is trying to rename it "The Soggy Bottom Trial" Some folks are trying to get the event moved to later in the year because we could really use the rain in the dryer months. This event is held in the tropical rain forest known as Clarksville, Tn. Section 1 started early, just before you parked your vehicle or unloaded your bike. It was a slight uphill mud bog and I saw many observers lending a hand. Surprisingly the section I checked (Son of a Ditch ll?) stayed fairly consistant through out the day. I fully expected it to get worse as the day went on but it didn't. This section had a pretty good jump between Sportsman and Advanced lines. The Expert (and Pro) line had a very difficult muddy hill with very little run up. This was a big point taker. For the most part it was either clean or five. My estimate is roughly 2.9 dumptruck loads of mud left the sections attached to various motorcycles. I couldn't make it on Sunday but I'm guessing it must have dried up and been a pretty good day.

Any idea where to get a copy?

I'd like pictures to add to the Honda Trials site. Also any information on the bike would be appreciated. Any one visiting the site that has information on Honda's please let me know. I'd like to make the site a good one. Thanks, Brian

How many points do you get for dabbing on a 4 wheeler then?

Mattylad, can I use your picture for the Hondatrials site? Thanks, Brian

The kids from the Nationals.

Zoikes, Jinkies.

Never mind. It looks like it's 3/16" (go figure!)

Any one know off the top of their head what size the ball bearings are?
