February 14, 200818 yr Just for fun! In Mike Rapleys header, I used a picture from a classic trial. Who is it and where and when was the picture taken? For a bonus point - I modified the original picture. Can you tell me what shouldn't be there. Nice and easy for most of you guys I bet !
February 14, 200818 yr One for Big John so i will get in with something first! SSDT Pre 65 2006 maybe '07 What shouldn't be there is 'Dennis the Menace' at the right hand side, because he is a cartoon character Thats my go I will wait for someone with superior knowledge to update
February 14, 200818 yr SSDT Pre 65 2005 He's on a Cub (it were a Jimmy last year), it looks like Callert but I could be wrong and Spectators...Callert's too far to walk to The Prof will be here soon with the answer Edited February 14, 200818 yr by Slapshot 3
February 14, 200818 yr The section is "Upper Mamore", just across the road from "Am Bodach", on the Mamore road high above Kinlochleven, it's some bloke on a Cub but I can't make him out because of the "Speaking" word overlay. ...the legs of some of the spectators look a bit iffy to me! Is it Scott Maxwell? It could be 2005, definately the Pre-65 Scottish Two-Day trial. Big John
February 14, 200818 yr Author Well you guys certainly know your stuff! The section is "Upper Mamore", just across the road from "Am Bodach", on the Mamore road high above Kinlochleven,CorrectAll of you said SSDT Pre-65 which is of course correct..... But what year? Here is the original picture - can you answer all the questions now?
February 14, 200818 yr My sincere apologies, that's better I can see better now... It's Steven Maxwell from Newcastle (sorry I said Scott before) and I reckon it's 2006 because 2005 was p***ing rain! Definately Upper Mamore. Was the photo of that lovely man Mr. Rapley not supposed to be in the photo or what? Big John
February 14, 200818 yr The section is "Upper Mamore", just across the road from "Am Bodach", on the Mamore road high above Kinlochleven, it's some bloke on a Cub but I can't make him out because of the "Speaking" word overlay.Big John Would that be Mamore 2???????
February 14, 200818 yr Something like that. Lower Mamore is the sections at the foot of the hill, I always thought the top one was Upper Mamore, it's definately the second section as there is the tree that encroaches into the burn and that is just beyond the starts cards of the second sub. Big John
February 14, 200818 yr Author It's Steven Maxwell from Newcastle (sorry I said Scott before) and I reckon it's 2006 because 2005 was p***ing rain! Well I wouldn't know myself but on TrialsPhotos.com, the rider is down as :- Keith Gardner At Mamore, 2006 Scottish Pre-65 Trial So who is right? The bit that is different is behind the head of Mike to the left. The image wasn't wide enough so I mirrored the hill. Because its behind his head I thought you wouldn't notice and it seems I was right p.s. if you look closely, you can see the reversed image of the observer in black
February 14, 200818 yr I've made my way down to the Batcave and unearthed the 2006 Pre-65 Programme and number 95 shows Stephen Maxwell on a 249 Tiger Cub. Big John

February 15, 200818 yr Author Here's me thinking the 'fiddle Cub' shouldn't be there!! I just knew someone would say something like that !
February 15, 200818 yr Schweizmeister and I had a long talk about "fiddle" Cubs at the weekend in fact! His brother was on a non-trick Cub at Kinlochleven on Sunday as well! We were discussing the heat eminating from the zener diode, proof that like my son's Cub there isn't even a PVL ignition fitted! Big John
