Youth A+b Who's Your Money On
In "B" class, as well as the "yorkies" such as Richard Sadler, Josh Maude and NYL, I'd keep an eye on Joanne Coles. They all have improved a lot since last year. PLEASE follow the parking direction given by the "stewards". (I believe Mel Dabill and Mike Jennings will be directing). Other Vehicles will be making deliveries and collections and we do not wish to impede the roadway.

Bbc's Top Gear Programme.
His own cars pretty much reflect what he says on the show and he puts his money where his mouth is. He has just bought a Gallardo Spyder and has a Merc SL. He did have the Ford GT. He also champions good cars that are not that expensive. He has a Focus as a "shopping"/nanny car and loves it.

Unleaded Or Super Unleaded?
Okay here goes. Yes The lower the RON the easier it is to ignite. However this also means that in performance engines the tendancy is for "pre-ignition",(pinking), to take place. This is due to the high compressions used in these engines. Higher RON also has a higher calorific content. The result is that the fuel burns cleaner and longer because of the increased heat. This means it also produces more power for the amount of fuel burned. Because the fuel burns hotter then most of the carbon deposits associated with two-stroke's get burned off. Once this happens then the emissions are also cleaner because of the hotter burn. It has benefits all round. We use Castrol XR77 which is for use with High Octane fuels.

Bbc's Top Gear Programme.
Ah!! the old "Top Gear" debate. The reason the show is how it is is that it's a successful format. In most shows the serious mixes with the irrevelent. JC never minced his words in the "old" TG and now it's his show and He can take the P*ss out of who he wants now. It's also a cynical look at the world from the point of view of people who hate the PC world we have to tolerate.

Trials Track
Who run some really good ones at Dovecliffe, etc. P.S. Enter the Beginners. The Novice course is harder than a club one.

Trials Track
We(myself and NYL) are based in Scholes(the one next door to Barwick-in-Elmet). We go up to Addingham and down to BUMPY for practice. However as it stands there are a few trials on every weekend so we go along to those instead. This weekend there is a Trial at Harden Moor Between Bingley and Keighley and also the Cobb and Jagger Trophy at Keighley Gate just above Bingley. If you want to ride Beginners then the Venues tend to be around the area. A good one to go to to start with would be any at Tong just oustide Leeds and Bradford. Clubs to watch out for running Beginners are Bradford,Bradford Horsforth,Horsforth Spen Valley,Spen Valley Yeadon Guiseley,Yeadon-Guiseley Ripon Trials ClubRipon Eboracum who run Trials mainly around York and have Beginners during the week.Eboracum Huddersfield Falcons also run Beginners but you have to enter prior to the meeting. West Leeds also sometimes run a beginners course at Post Hill. If You join Horsforth you can use their land as well. When joining just ask and they'll give you the location and rules about using it.

Television Aerial
We have two Aerials. One for the Front room and the other for upstairs. The lead exits the wall via a normal coax socket which is then fed into a Booster/Splitter. The Coax for the other outlets is fed from that. Three rooms and a socket for the room the Booster is in. Another cable goes to my "Hi-Fi" room from that aerial for the ttelly down there. The Booster is Digital compatible and drives the Kids Freeview boxes.

Most Expensive Trials Book Ever...
Make you wonder what the recent Dougie Lampkin Limited edition Book would make??

Colonial
I was talking to a rider at the New Years day trial At Hovingham and he'd literally filled in his entry and dropped it thru Keith's letterbox to make sure he got in.

Addingham Moorside
Just as an update One of the Brothers who ran the farm Addingham is part of recently died. Flowers were sent to the funeral. Please respect the venue by tidying up. There is a Skip for rubbish usually there.

Best Budget Bike
Where are you based. I Know some lads go down to Addingham from the Tyne area and Scarborough's Low North Park is just down the coast, (but you would need to join the club and pay a yearly fee See their website). Somebody did say that there was a practice area near Durham but I don't know which club/dealer holds the rights to it.

Does This Meen Any Thing To You Ict People Out There ?
RAM is the memory available to run XP and then any other programs which include all those little icons in the system tray. It's the "Sticks" that are on the system board. 128 is not enough to run XP and any other system processes(which is what those Icons are along with others) and expect anything else you load to run quickly. That 18 mb would become 140ish if you went up to 256 and around 350 if you went to 512 which is a lot of room to run the programs. SDRAM is nowdays considered slow as the speed it runs at is 133Mhz which is much slower than the processor. Hence it has to buffer and write to disk more than the newer, faster DDR RAM in order to do the same work. Your system board should be able to support DDR RAM but you'll have to check the Speed. Originally "2100" DDR RAM was used but the type(and its speed), have changed and 2700 and 3200 are common on Newer PC's. These run at 400Mhz. As Everybody has (delightedly), pointed out some of that memory could be being used by Spybots, Ad software, trojans and Viri. None of them are good. Ad-Aware, Spybot Search And Destroy do sweep most of them away. Add a good Free Anti-virus and you should be safe. and hopefully a bit quicker.

Much as the Speed of the Processor seems slow the real problem here is the Memory. You need at least 256MB and should have 512MB to run XP properly. Once you have done that you will see a great improvement in the performance. If the PC can run DDR RAM then try getting some as that is better than the SDRAM I think you are using. Processor speed is always seen as the bottle neck but I've seen XP run very well on 750Mhz Laptops so I don't see the Processor being the problem.

Observing Rules For 2007 Btc
As a matter of interest, when it gets to club level what rules do other countries run?

Scorpa 125 - 150 Or What Ever It Is
Get one with a Hydraulic clutch. They do seem a lot better than the standard cable which according to those I have talked to is a bit inconsistant as to where it "bites". Also although I have seen Experts riding them they have to be careful on the bigger rocks. Good club bike tho.

"official" Photography
Over the new year every trial seems to have had a photographer there with Photo's available either "on-site" or from a web-site. It's an interesting new development and looking at the photos they are doing a good job. Not up to Andy's standard but definitely interesting.
