Andy 'Alladin' Grieg! well done that man they look very nice, have you come across any 'Genie's' yet ? (no pun intended) If you do happen to, I have a wish or two if you are struggling to think of three!

Could struggle with hedging, grass won't even grow up there!

Hi BIFF, try these,genuine Dunlop Trials Universals, like rocking horse s**t hope they have one left for you,just search TRIALS on their website. All the best http://www.vintagetyres.com/

Good advice Allan Alternatively forget about it and just keep an eye on the others.And as far as dads concerned blame the chinese labourer 'Who Mee' it works every time.

Ishy, I can remember riding the Basic memorial in about the same area with your David,Spenny,Sammy and Blakey and just catching the Stonehouse pub before closing,now that was lucky What was unlucky was the the bloody place ran out of Ale about two hours later

Well done Greeves, she's a beauty

I'll go with No.15 Bagging Munro's

Hi Bo, I believe the great Eddy Lejeune started riding on C90's modified by his father, the rest is history! And you are right it is probably the most successful bike ever produced so maybe the old step through is'nt just as daft as people think. And it can be done!

My sentiments entirely Ishy. Norman complete with his pipe, is responsible for showing many a beginner myself included the best way through a section, and he was the first man I aimed to beat as I was learning my trade in the tough Yorkshire centre. He was a true gent and character and will be sadly missed, Thanks Norman RIP old pall, Blackie.

silkolene contact cleaner, brilliant stuff it just evaporates

Was'nt Bill Brooker, ex comp shop manager for 'Greeves' involved in some way aswell ?

Should be renamed Costa Packet from my experience.

Hi Pitley, I thought there were five sections but I was'nt sure I do know you were knackered when you had finished the group!!!!! you are also right about Rob Sartin and Stefan Merriman and I seem to remember the tale about Malc aswell, also Tommi Ahvala came over and rode one year on the big Aprilia! Bloody brilliant section and trial shame it is no more,you could say the same about a lot of the big Nationals from back then.

Hi guys and galls, I've just been reading an old post about the classic Jack Wood 'River Kwai' section and all the stories that went with it and it got me thinking back about other classic sections from days gone bye, like 'Tremorithic' in the 'Wye Valley Traders' it was a cracking section in a fantasic trial (one of the best IMHO). If you didnt get up the step you had to be hauled up by two or three blokes using a rope and grappling hook, it made 'Witches Burn' look like a main road. It was 3rd gear from a standing start and slippery as hell, if you did manage to get up the step I think there were 3 more sections waiting for you straight after. Happy days

Pinky without a doubt, I once took one straight out of the crate/box ran it in with some gentle road miles, tightened the spokes and rode it in the ssdt the following week and all it needed all week was petrol! Brilliant bike and they come with a seat!

Welcome onboard 'proc' from Lancaster,you are very lucky you have some of the best trials and clubs in the whole country right on your doorstep!

Nice job JETSET, just wondered if the bike is road registered, as it looks very much like my old girl!

You can't buy taste Big John, you've either got it or you hav'nt!, Each to his own and all that but come on, what does he ride a 2006 cub?

That'll do for me then, thanks

Hi, great restoration! sorry to hyjack your thread but can anyone confirm the correct colour match for an early 'Slimline Sherpa T' frame, I believe 'Ford Siver Fox' is the nearest but I just wondered if any of you guys know any different. It is actually for a 74' Bultaco Chispa I am restoring but it is basically a scaled down Sherpa T. thanks chaps

Did you have time for a pint in the pub aswell?

Yes I have to agree that view is priceless. Brilliant picture

Artie Ratcliffe filming for 'C.H Wood' of Bradford,the footage was used on the 'Six from the Scottish Duke video' riding up The Devils Staircase. It was also used to make a promotional film for CASTROL oils. Incidentally this was the same bike he won the Scott Trial on in 1957,and secured 3rd place in the SSDT in 1958.

Pic 1. 'Jimmy Bobble' looks like he's suffering from seriuos dehydration, a result of the amount of loopy juice consumed the previous night!

Thin ice,very very thin ice! But the girl done good, 'muchos' respect.
