May 20, 200818 yr Don't worry - it's been noted. Unfortunately we were told too late to catch the 'unnamed' (as yet!) culprit in the act, but rest assured he won't get the chance to try it again...not if I have any say in it anyway!
May 20, 200818 yr I'm amazed it has gone this far without being public as it was well talked about. I'm disappointed in the rider as he is certainly one who should know better than to try and cheat the system. And no, it wasn't Jake - his Beta did actually carry his pie-enhanced frame round for the entire six days
May 21, 200818 yr Author The bike in question was making a "pop pop pop" noise early in the week, then a "pam pam pam" noise midweek, before "pop pop popping" again.

May 24, 200818 yr Mind, to be fair - if the committee wish to save a few bob on finishers awards they could do a lot worse than mark a few more bits of the bikes during scrutineering. I was stunned by the amount of 'outside assistance' that went in to many riders bikes. The term reliability trial seems to have got lost somewhere.
May 25, 200818 yr Can we have some more clues then which bike ? has the rider been found guilty of swapping bikes previously ? I can confirm it was not Gizza 5 or Kinell.
May 25, 200818 yr I can confirm it was not Gizza 5 or Kinell. No I was on this one ALL WEEK Edited May 25, 200818 yr by GIZZA5
May 25, 200818 yr Gizza 5 Looking at the size of the storage capacity on that bike couldn't you do a mobile fuel supply service and help keep the SSDT going single handed now the army has given it up.

May 26, 200818 yr Hmmm, multi bike...multi rider seems more interesting!!! I wonder if they mark the riders with this special paint? One bike six mates, a day each and a party every night but one
May 26, 200818 yr The bike in question was making a "pop pop pop" noise early in the week, then a "pam pam pam" noise midweek, before "pop pop popping" again. Genius ! How many peeps wet themselves when they read this! p.s. I know of probably one who didn't
June 4, 200818 yr I know exactly who the rider was, but I am not prepared to spill the beans on here. I even approached the "guilty party" and asked if he had any problems with the bike during the week with such a serious and direct look right into his eyes that probably left him in no doubt that I knew exactly what had gone on! I knew what had happened during the morning the trial went through Piper's Burn! I am absolutely disgusted that the rider in question did not do the honorable act of retiring, as he knew damn fine that he had been rumbled by observers during the trial. I did not ever contemplate that a rider of such standing in the trials community was capable of denying another rider an award by swapping bikes. The said rider should at least return any silverware immediately to the Edinburgh & District Motor Club with a suitable apology and "fall on his sword" sooner rather than later, to put the record straight without delay!!!! Big John (bitterly disappointed)
