May 7, 200917 yr Hi Has anyone here had a go at the pre 65 trial up aviemore way that Big John does, ive heard its good but im not the best with the old bike and its not the best with water! Are the sections easy or hard , are they mostly burns like the trials up here for the more modern stuff or is it a mixture. i've an old crusader for years using it up the hills etc locally but ive fancied having a go at a trial with it. Is there any pics on the web of the event last year and who do i contact for an entry? Cheers Greg

Mixture of sections including some water. Good weekend, not a huge course but fairly demanding in places. Big selection of bikes and abilities. Greeves comes over from Spain to ride it, which tells alot. Two routes, pre65 & twinshock. There were some pictures on the http://todotrial.mforos.com/65594/7217291-...e-para-el-2008/ dont know if they are still there. Usually camp across the road with several other riders.
May 7, 200917 yr Regs and entry form HERE I'll leave it to the riders to describe the sections but be assured the Pre 65 route is set out specifically for these bikes. D.
May 8, 200917 yr Hi gregrsv: The Highland Classic is a great trial and Pre-65 route is perfect for those bikes. We made a report of the 2008 edition in www.todotrial.com go to "Clasico" then in the left to "Zona 2 - Competicion" and at last to "Highland Classic 2 Days trial" there are some pics there and a description of the 16 sections (maybe with the automatic translator English sounds funny....). I will be there, hope to meet you.
May 16, 200917 yr I've decided to ride Pre-65 class on the BSA, Feet-Up Dave has now entered on the Tiger Cub. I was going to prep up a 250 Bultaco (1974, model 124) but I haven't got enough time, I will prep it anyway as it is a nice bike with a very nice Homerlite tank seat unit in original finish! See you all there! Big John
May 19, 200917 yr My entry is in the post today. If the trial is anything like the Paul Kilbauskas Trial was last October it will be fantastic! Can't wait. >^..^<
May 31, 200917 yr The course setters were out today at Alvie planning the final routes and sections. Looks like being a good one. Two routes: A & B. A is for twinshocks, B for Pre-65 machines and twinshocks for no awards. All classes catered for even specials. British bikes up to 1970; foreign up to 1964 classed as Pre-65. Youths may ride twinshock bikes or Pre-65 up to 125cc. Big John Entry forms here: http://www.idmcc.co.uk/forms.html Edited May 31, 200917 yr by Big John
June 9, 200917 yr I was thinking about what to pack, but obviusly not my swimming suit.... http://www.zoover.co.uk/scotland/scotland/aviemore/weather
June 9, 200917 yr You can get an idea of some of the sections by looking at some pics I took in 2007 www.flickr.com/photos/29937093@N02/3611617421/" title="2 Big Jock by camel1952, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3567/3611617421_9876d2be76_b.jpg" width="1024" height="681" alt="2 Big Jock" /></a>
June 15, 200917 yr Those who chose not to come up to Alvie at the weekend...you missed a right good weekend of sport in the Highlands. I have to say that it must be the friendliest clubman classic in the calendar. Thanks to all who attended, see you all next year! Good to see a mixture of twin-shocks and Pre-65's too! Date for the 2010 edition to follow on my avitar! Big John
June 15, 200917 yr I'm sorry I missed this trial this year as I rode last year (on saturday at least until I hurt myself). My poor finances dictated that I could not afford a 2-day trip to the Highlands.(my Husky motocross engine self-destructing recently did not help) Glad to hear it went well.Maybe next year.
