vinnied Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 1982 on 105 marks lost, beating Toni Gorgot on a Mont by 18 marks. Knew I had that book somewhere Some score Vinnied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthehill Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yes - i think 1982 was the highest scoring year ever - remember this was when the world championship riders competed - imagine Raga Cabestany Bou Fujinami and Lampkin all loosing over 100 marks ! - to be honest it was no fun as a clubman throwing your twinshock at some of the sections if you lost less than 90 a day you used to get a first class award (thats a three in every section) in those days it was a battle of survival - trying to get home with your bike in one piece. nowdays we try to have a mixture of sections - something for everyone - in those days every section was like Lagnaha! still good fun - and a fantastic sense of achievement ontop of this was the chance of riding round with the world best riders - there was no riding round with your mates then, which meant that you made friends quickly with the riders around you whether they were Bernie Schrieber or joe clubman - a lot of friends were made - I personally feel that it was a step too far letting friends ride around together, however it does make it a lot easier for groups to organise transport etc and it seems to be what the riders want.

ishy Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 to be honest it was no fun as a clubman throwing your twinshock at some of the sections if you lost less than 90 a day you used to get a first class award (thats a three in every section) in those days it was a battle of survival - trying to get home with your bike in one piece. nowdays we try to have a mixture of sections - something for everyone I think you are doing it right, those scores and conditions in todays world, would kill the trial off. The world championship proves that I know what you mean about making friends when riding by yourself, however! I do think it encourages new riders to enter if they think they can ride round with thier mates, bit of a shock to the system being a first timer up there on your todd.

kinell Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) Am I the only one ever to get a bit lost round the Scottish? In fact, didn't somebody go across the Corran ferry one morning last year when the route was running the opposite way round?

ishy Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Am I the only one ever to get a bit lost round the Scottish? If that's a bit lost, I would hate to see the poor bugger who got totaly lost. Now there could be some good lost stories before the age of the t'internet, old blokes like Gizza should spill the beans, and let us know, Kin'll can't be the only daft bugger who's added 50 + mile to his daily route. Without the tales, it wouldn't be the Scottish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
