Some times you need to step back........naah only joking......its quite entertaining

A nice cheery story to finish the week with Why dont you write something nice . We ALL know whats going on AND the implications . We are not stupid. Comments like this only damage . What you have said does not help anyone or anything. It doesnt educate anyone . Noones thankful for this type of comments.....so whats the point ?. Feeding your ego ? You tell me. Of course there's freedom of speech ....but you wouldnt want your bad news aired time and time again ...would you....so please think. Its actually people who say things like your above comments that is dragging the prices down. Its true. People should keep thier Gassers . Shirty has the spares ...he's made provisions to get more when needed. GasGas will be back in the future no doubt with the identical model. Before people post stupid stuff on this forum.......why dont they think . Ill tell you why....its because they all hide behind user names and feel free to drag things down with impunity. People wouldnt say half of this bad stuff if it was against thier real name. In my opinon this needs a rethink. Its only a tiny tiny little sport . Trials is a family ...support them.....like youd support your family. This isnt all at you Dadof...but that comment is not good and not a good thing to be spreading around. Please think a bit

I'm convinced also Martin. It was all the work of Martin M. It was good to meet you in Spain. That was a good day

This 1983 SWM TL320 was located in California recently Many enquiries have been made to discover whether this is Bernie Schreiber's actual bike and the one featured in his observed Trials book. What do you think ?? http://www.retrotrials.com/a-special-report-on-very-probably-bernie-schreibers-1981-swm-tl320-trials-bike.html http://www.retrotrials.com/a-special-report-on-very-probably-bernie-schreibers-1981-swm-tl320-trials-bike.html

Significant rider factory shuffles coming up - just wait and see

I was sent this - thought you might like to see - Bultaco enthusiasts cannot miss this ! The 11th and 12th of July 2015 marks the 50 year anniversary celebrations of the creation of one of the most legendary models in Trial . The Bultaco Sherpa T. A bike that defined the new beginning in Trial and stayed production, in its many versions, for nearly 20 years. It is for this reason that from the Motorcycle Museum in Barcelona (Estanis Soler - Bultaco competition manager)wants to pay special tribute. It will be the 11th and 12th of July, coinciding with the 24hours motorcyclists at the Circuit de Barcelona - Catalonia. A weekend dedicated to all Bultaquistas which start Saturday with a welcome dinner .On Sunday there is a big party , a great exhibition of the models T Sherpa ,Bultaco's famous riders will reunite and compete in Trial. Many factory workers will be present . Very soon we will give you all the details of the event, but you can already book the date!

I agree Eddie - Despite their wonderings ...these 2 daft old duffers have kept us amused for a few months.....and they are both capable of looking after themselves. Despite their misgivings , there would be no fun on here , if it wasnt for these two. It has never bothered me if theyve wondered off topic....i mean people dont stumble on here for serious intelligent discussion do they ?. Theyve never had any lol. Just look at the huge number of page views these 2 crazy coots have been generating lol . Next , we need an organised boxing match on Guisborough green with "Andy" as ref and "Guys" filming it . I'll interview them after lol .

Sorry ... off limits.

Adam will continue to ride GG.

Andrew - Sorry for the cryptic note. I didn't want to be the one to disclose the bankruptcy process beginning because I like these guys and I like the brand and company like we all do .I don't want to appear to be just chatting about their distressing situation. What I was trying to put across is that this process is the start of the GasGas brand ridding itself of the huge huge debt that's hindered it for years. I can't say all of what I'm hearing because it's way way to delicate.... but either way I have no doubt what so ever the brand GasGas will rise again.

It was an accident on a motocross bike that caused this shocking injury. Eddies naturally a bit crazy on a bike , taking up the Amos mantle but so unassuming and modest to meet. He's got some guts to get back up and start riding so soon. All the best Eddie

Today GasGas factory started to make significant moves, to sort their situation out . They will rise again, im sure

Nice idea but the TRS business model has to work and finances have to be kept in check. The fact that GG keep paying Raga shows the investors intentions. If they thought Gg was a dead duck they'd have stopped paying him ...surely . I think there's hope.

What mud ? - they dont do mud anymore .Its so so so yesterday

Sorry to hear this. Bearing in mind there isnt a plethora of Ossa mains going faulty ,you need to stop the dust / muck from getting in your engine better . Thats what will have caused this , unless you ran it with no 2st oil , which i doubt.

Christ !!!. Im a bit taken aback by the results. The top riders are all over the place. It looks like it was the time penalities rather than the sections. Poor old Dabill.....id have thought his hopes for a win are over....but you never know What happened to him ?. Just taking his time or problems ?

John - Exactly right This would be logical and correct if it were this simple , but its not. Unless the factory step up production there is no point in the promotion.

Yes. The Japanese round looks especially well.......dull. It's just repetition of last year and the year before etc It needs a new venue and some mud

I've never successfully managed to get new soles to fit well - sorry

The investors must have a game plan. There must be something they're pushing towards which will give they're investment a chance. I dearly hope so.

My pleasure. I'm a bit Merlin obsessed myself

When the workers are falling back on Facebook for support its clear to me ...theyre desperate.....and so they would be .....with no pay. Theyre are unfortunately getting nowhere slowly. All of this means nothing unless either the Government or an investor steps in. Christ i hope im wrong ...but it doesnt look good for this chapter in GG's life. Im sure the brand will live on ....hopefully not just in freeking key rings and T shirts
