Tc Trial
Approx 25mins Stuart and there were no flags as I passed the Junction at least 4 times. I believe the reason there was nobody there was that You were short of Observers for that trial. Oh and that was not the first of your trials that the flags were missing for.

Tc Trial
Seen VicX at the last couple of Eboracum trials (we're doing the "c" class there). She did say She had been a bit busy! Will remind Her to post again. Oh by the way make sure you know where you are going! Last Bradford I tried to get to didn't have any flagging from the main road. By the time I had figured it out they was nobody to take an entry.

Insurance Or Not?
Let me ask this elsewhere because it sounds like he was being a Pr@t. Well got a reply from a Trafpol seems he could have been wrong. Private land is not covered by the Road Traffic Act. Usually Public liability insurance is only required if You are PAYING for the pleasure of using the land or an organised event is taking place in which case the landowner is responsible. However if you keep checking this thread you might get a more definitive answer. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.a...=94188&f=10&h=0 The guys to watch for are Tonyrec(already answered), xxplod, Gone and Silverback Mike.

Indoor Or Outdoor?
Cos you can get much closer that's why! Its also very easy to talk to the riders and providing you don't pester them going into or in a section they are glad to chat back. Not many sports you can do that in let alone get to the best in them.

Mudguard Frustration!
Soryy ishy re using the old one isn't an option as the sticker tore when the guard snapped. I have glued it down to keep it watertight tho. I wanted him on the Beta but no He wanted the Sherco cos it wheelies better!

A And B Class National Top 3
He's still in "c" class for this year. Hoping to get to some of the nationals. He'll be doing the "Local" rounds (Mansfield, Richmond and Eborcoram) but having to see about the rest. At the moment I carry the bike on a Dave Cooper so am worried about getting to Wales, Kent and the Isle of Wight. If I can arrange a Van or Camper then thats another matter.

Mudguard Frustration!
Ok So my lad broke his read mudguard. I have repaired it with Ty wraps and Supaglue and its pretty water tight. OK i need a new one for when it totally breaks. I buy the Mudguard but the Sticker isn't fixed. We'll have one next week. I do say I would like the 125 sticker to complete it as it will be the "Show" guard. Sticker arrives and I pick it up. Not only is their no 125 sticker but it turns out a "lozenge" is missing with the "SH" on is not there either! Phones back up. Oh the seat sticky is extra! and the heat shield is extra too. Point is If you get a new guard you want ALL the stickers. Why do they sell u it in bits! Just sell a Sticker kit with it all in!! It's not like you can take the others off without destroying them. Its really Bl@@dy annoying and so obvious it just makes you wonder if its worthwhile!

Seems the answer is the 4x4 Van. If u can find one cheap enough for your budget The Pickups just don't have the height and the Defender hasn't the length. The Transit County is about but you are talking

2 Bike Rack ?
We have a Rover 25 1.6 with a Dave cooper which manages the Sherco 125 but the added weight would take the rack over the limit. It would make the handling awkward as well. I can feel the lighter front end even when I raise the rear tyres 5PSI. Strange thing I still can't put the plastic "bung" in to the front wheel end as the Sherco isn't long enough to extend the arm out!

Trials Transport
One of the Dads at Yeadon Guiseley's Small Wheels has just moved from a Sherco 50 to a Beta Rev 80.The Sheco went in his Peugeot 309's boot but the new Rev has to go in front wheel between the front seats back seat down and strapped in usinf the seat beat anchors (I think). Given the hatch is open its a bit of a chilly ride!

Too Much the actual length of the cargo bed is 74.8 Inches, I suppose you could defalte the tyres that may give you the inch or two required. (Land Rover 110 Hardtop/pickup. Figures from Land Rover Web site). Forget the 130 Dual cab too as that is in the sixties. Remembered where I have seen the Camper top. The Army have them as field ambulances. Time to find your nearest Army Surplus vehicle auction and they'll have beds!

I have seen LR110's with "Camper" style back. It looks like it sits on the standard bed and overhangs the sides a bit. Having said that not seen one lately although I do know where a Range rover 6X6 Camper was hanging around! That should give you the room needed

Mecatecno Amigo 80 Parts
Best of Luck Try RPM in Sheffield. We bought one from them two years ago and sold it last year. The guy at RPM's son had one so He may be able to advise you on what you could use. We had a lot of trouble ourselves finding anything.

Threat To Classic Trials
anybody seen the "Inside Out" piece just on the BBC. They are directing People to the www.bbc.co.uk/insideout web address for viewers to air their views. I'm on My way anybody else???? For what its worth My ramblings are below. Lets see if they are posted. Like the Ramblers on their footpaths, The Motorists using the "unmade" roads are expressing their right to use a legal right of way as it was intended. The Motorists are NOT (As the Ramblers semmingly are intent on), trying to increase the mileage they can use 0r as your article here incorrectly states "roam freely". As for noise A car Or motorcycle has to legally be "Silenced" so that even on The film shown the noise quickly abates. Would they like to ban Helicopters and planes flying over as the noise from those continues to be "Annoying" for some time. As for confining the Motor vehicles to "experiences". Perhaps we should confine the Ramblers to Public parks where they can "experience" rambling on set footpaths. Then they would not cause the sort of damage that shut the footpath in the Peak district that required a large number of Helicopter trips to repair! These rights of way are not only used by Leisure motorists but Cyclists and farmers whose own vehicles also cause damage. Despite the farmers protestations on film the width of the ruts on the track were clearly caused by a vehicle much larger than a 4x4 or Motorcycle. I also take issue with your comment that vehicles have been "banned" from four routes. They clearly are either Bridleways or Marked footpaths and as such Motor vehicles are not allowed on those rights of way. You cannot "ban" something that is not allowed in the first place and that use of language has plainly been used to "sex up" your report. Illegal is illegal and you cannot make something more illegal. I would suggest that anybody who opposes the Ramblers selfish actions visit http://www.muddystuff.co.uk/campaign/default.asp to obtain information or sign the online petition at http://www.saveourbyways.org.uk/ and register their disapproval.
