January 13, 200818 yr Thanks i was just wondering if the details were available anywhere. Looks like there will be a strong contingent from Derbyshire. Ey up my duck
January 13, 200818 yr Good luck to any T C users on the list. Is it me or would you bet your weeks wage that certain "names" will be on the list whatever. Whilst others struggle to get a look in. I am not refering to any one on TC. You know who I mean . Wait for it.
January 13, 200818 yr glad to see the Pre 65 organisers have embraced the computer age- its taken them 15 years to rebuild the 1964 majorhard 3b-66932a found in a shed in Bakalite Glen - When they plugged the last valve in it sprung to life and they then designed a complex programme which ran overnight to put the entrants list into alphabetical order. - the result is worth it though i'm sure you'll agree.
January 13, 200818 yr Any idea who is number 1? My mate Graham Miller had the honour of first away last year on his B40. Its usually a Scottish rider I think isn't it?
January 13, 200818 yr Any idea who is number 1?My mate Graham Miller had the honour of first away last year on his B40. Its usually a Scottish rider I think isn't it? Yes, I did hear but I am sworn to secrecy! I believe... the rider has a Scottish ACU licence, born Scot, Scottish mother, but exported to Lancashire at one time in his life. Currently a Scottish resident.. That's all I'm saying. Big John (It's not me, I was No. 1 in 1998)
January 13, 200818 yr Well spotted that man. First time for a while that the riders have been listed on the web! There were lots of long faces at the Red Rose trial today. One or two well known riders were unlucky in the 'draw' - Eric Boocock - former speedway star - rides pre65 most weekends - but he is on the first reserve list. Also John Maxfield - 2 time winner of the Manx Classic. So at least not all the 'names' get in Bo. Still too many under 40s!
January 13, 200818 yr Still too many under 40s! I must have missed the bit that gave the age of the rider! Big John
January 14, 200818 yr F.W i W. I'm slightly younger than my start number, my waist is also slightly less than my start number but i'm beginning to think my IQ is about the same as my start number Anybody know where i can get some ex works, pre 65 of course, stabilisers for the James from ?
January 14, 200818 yr Do past winners of this event (Pre65) get an automatic entry? Whats the general opinion, should they or not? Edited January 14, 200818 yr by 2fargone
January 14, 200818 yr Do past winners of this event (Pre65) get an automatic entry?Whats the general opinion, should they or not? Is that why Big John always gets an entry ? It seems that they do but should they? Personally i would say they should take their chance in the ballot the same as everybody else but that would dissapoint a lot of people and result in less spectators and less programme sales which is a major source of income for the club so on balance probably a necessary "evil" ? Difficult one really.
January 14, 200818 yr Do past winners of this event (Pre65) get an automatic entry?Whats the general opinion, should they or not? No, Brian Cotterill who won it a few years ago now, can't get an entry, so it's not automatic for all previous winners
January 15, 200818 yr Because of certain "comments" that have come to my attention... Here is a message from "Big John" to Trials Central "Lurkers"! i.e. those that are not members of this site and who obviously browse this website... Please read carefully my "disclaimer" below! My expressions of interest and comments on motorcycle sport on this or any other website are my personal observations and thoughts and are not necessarily those of the SACU or any other organisation I am a member of (or not as the case may be) or a director of (or not as the case may be).... You have got to be soooooo careful nowadays, I bet John Collins gets this all the time, don't you John? Kind regards, Big John Oh yes, one final point..If the cap fits, wear it!
