ormplus Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 same old story again , if i mind why they put t/s with pre65 is because there wernt enough pre65s getting used.if that was to change the sacu would look at the championship i would think.there is a trials committe meeting next month. if the pre65 riders put in letters for a.o.b it would certainly be discussed.

broony Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 From what I heard in the past a lot of the Pre 65 trials where set out for the minority and not the majority(designed to take points from the good riders and the average rider toiled so they put their bikes in the shed and rode over 40's).Lets hope things change and the numbers start to pick up. cheers the noo Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormplus Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 well run a c/to/c trial laid out on the easy side to encourage pre65/t/shocks today at dunfermline.shame about the poor weather but we cant help that.we got only 14 of an entry.how many pre65,yes correct NONE,that says it all.why do we try. will have another c/to/c at the crieff hydro in november again laid out on the easy side for pre65 but i wont hold my breath for any.

broony Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 On a slightly different note was at a classic scramble yesterday at Whitekirk run by the Scottish Classic club.Plenty of bikes and the racing was full on,quite a long lap.Seems strange that these boys and girls use their classic irons in anger all of the year yet classic trials bikes get used once in a blue moon,with only a few using them every weekend. cheers the noo Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormplus Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 very true broony,why have them and not using them.we have two t/shocks in the middle of resto.ones going to be a super trick 325 bultaco,the other a 349 montesa to use every week end. i also have a pre65 triumph twin named pitrite.it belonged to my late uncle willie pitblado and will get a resto when i have the money and my son will use it to its full potencial.

schweizmeister Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I think there is a handful of riders in Scotland who compete regularly on Pre'65 and Twinshock simply because they enjoy riding their bikes. They do all kinds of trials from C to C to Nationals. Already there is a good selection of trials with varying levels of difficulty to suit all abilities. There will always be the 'draw' of the bigger events that have an atmosphere and some people will only drag their bikes out for them. That's fair enough but I don't think there will ever be a huge number of P65 rider competing every weekend no matter how the sections are laid out. >^..^< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Perth are running a trial at Comrie, suitable for pre-65 / twin shock. Anybody going to ride pre-65 ? Ross Edited October 6, 2011 by B40RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ormplus Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 well i was at the sacu committe meeting on tuesday night,and i suggested on t/c any pre65 scottish riders to send in a letter as to what they want. no letters arrived, so what else can we do.i brought up an idea for non championship riders do the c route to make it easier. so wait and see.

scottishsteve Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 i wonder how many will be at the classic club on sun ? i like to ride my t/shock but its not worth joining every club. for a non member to ride a closed to club trial could they not pay a extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
