March 23, 200620 yr Oh dear Slip, looks like things have got very serious up in the Highlands <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ishy things have always been Serious regarding the SSDT Dont Believe for one minute that Bending of rules etc from the top down to the last person finishing has never gone on! What colour are the trees in your world? cheer up there is life out there, see you up in the fort for a pint all being well.
March 23, 200620 yr i know im a bad rider (no cheating apart from the occasional fuel switch off on other peoples bikes he he!)
March 23, 200620 yr Okay chaps and chapettes,has anyone thought of a TC booze up somewhere in Fort William during the Scottish this year, just want to know so if i'm in the Fort I can be there going back to the original post of this thread i thought that there was only one booze-up at the scottish - Location - Fortwilliam start time Saturday night finish time Sunday morning (7 days later)
March 24, 200620 yr I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to 'Slippery' (one of the most colourful pesonalities ever to grace Fort William) for the defamation of his character! And I hope that whatever night the TC booze up takes place, you all have a jolly good time Edited March 25, 200620 yr by 2fargone
March 24, 200620 yr 2 far gone! well said he is the life and soul of the SSDT (slippery) he will do anyone a favour and a brilliant rider as well. hope to see you in the SSDT in May!!

March 25, 200620 yr I don't know who Slippery is, obviously some of you do. If it was an anonymous poster from Spain who mentioned riding out to the sections in a van, what would the response be then ?. Sorry if I offended anyone, I never thought I would be getting flak for not condoning cheating. Bit of a sad day when it is excepted as the norm.

Sorry if I offended anyone, I never thought I would be getting flak for not condoning cheating. Bit of a sad day when it is excepted as the norm. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't think it's that Ishy, the idea of "cheating" has always been a bit of the folklore around the trial, certainly dating back to the 60's when "fuel planking" was apparently rife (modern bikes could do with some of that!!) to the 80's when folk asked why Eddy Lejeune always managed to turn up at section spotlessly clean, even after 20 miles of peat bog. There are more recent instances as well. Those who cheat and are caught are excluded from the trial, they should never get an entry again, doesn't matter who they are
March 25, 200620 yr I'm with ishy on this one. I don't care who it is, in my book it's cheating, plain and simple! What happened to Ishys deleted post?
March 25, 200620 yr What happened to Ishys deleted post? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Must have been deleted by Ishy himself. It certainly wasn't deleted by me, nor would any moderator have done so. I back him 100% on this one. If you cheat (and I've seen it) then the only person you're cheating is yourself. Yeah, we take the **** out of Kinell, but he finished that Trial fair and square. He can be proud of his finishers award. How could you be proud of finishing knowing that you cheated? It's beyond me, but I know there are folk out there who do.
March 25, 200620 yr Author Don't get my post wrong chaps, I fully agree with Ishy as well, Cheat you're gone and don't come back. Same in any sport no matter who it is D
