Top of this page, 12 o'clock high, ''tc garage''....enjoy

Here's my stab at which direction Tessier and Scorpa take now: If there is no Yamaha input then Scorpa really have to look around for new options. They could be the cheaper ,down-market arm of Sherco. In the same way that Skoda is the poorer relation of Audi i.e Scorpa use most of the chassis and running gear of the old style Shercos, so whilst not receiving the latest high-tech they do use tried and tested kit.????

To help those with a sub-standard interweb thingy: Since I can't mime it I'll describe it: Typical school class-photo,outdoors,3 rows everyone is average teenager sized apart from one guy right in the middle (with his own gravity) who is average American size It's not a good advert for GM food. Not so funny when you can't see it

Now the photo has appeared that's quite funny...I don't think the lad needed to bother... looking at the the tottie ratio of 3:1 in that class it looks like easy pickings

If you take too many, the first sign is that your d**k shrinks and then you lose the ability to carry out small, dexterity tasks like...... typing

Aw c'mon CK, Vietnam only produces 320,000 barrels per day so it was hardly worth it.

That article may have been related to a Tc member who is now banned so try this ( I reckon it will be close enough-ish to get you started)---Wayne,Sherco fork seal replacement----

The more information is released about this deal the worse it gets, it's enough to drive a man to religion: The pursuit of ''oil'' is the root of all evil and Mandelson is the anti-christ !! I hear there is an unofficial boycott of British goods in the U.S. now???

Really? is that all that separates us? This analogy is way too simplistic,almost shockingly naive. I'm afraid you can't justify the decision to release this intelligence officer (from a country that sponsors state-backed terrorism) just because it is good to be seen-to-be taking the moral high-ground. To combat terrorism the whole world needs to pull in the same direction..not in the opposite direction like Scotland. Who the F**** can guarantee that Megrahi is no longer a threat (Bin Laden needs constant kidney dialysis), even his report at his debriefing could be used against us. Please indulge me while I act a little facetiously; Does anyone know of the percentages for re-offenders regarding a single murder? and let's apply it to the 270 people who were killed because of Megrahi's complicity? We should be looking at Scottish justice for the victims not the offender.

Now I've calmed down a bit, that last remark was a tad OTT,apologies. I was lost in the area around Lockerbie that day ( A7/ Newcastleton region) and had a'Twilight Zone' moment when I came to a road sign for Lockerbie and turned in the opposite direction. There are doubts over Megrahi's guilt but I can't help but be repulsed by the fact that he 'pleaded the 5th' ,as the Americans would say,( to hide his involvement) at his trial .

Scottish Justice now there's an oxymoron------Scottish Justice Secretary MacAskill's decision . Give me time to find a link to this asinine jerk; Kenny MacAskill, so the world can see this politician who's in love with the sound of his own voice. This guy contradicts himself so many times in one statement. It beggars belief that they've let this terrorist go on compassionate grounds, what compassion were his innocent victims shown? They didn't get to go home to their loved ones for their last 3 minutes never mind 3 months. Cue: Backlash from Trials Central's Jockenese cabal.

I really liked those condos 'till I saw there was a communal pool

Click the link to see larger photos , Pah!...and guess which photo is missing

I think there was a related pressure build up on the 4st regarding the clutch?.....see AtomAnt..maybe?

I've just watched some footage on Channel 5 last night (red bull/ x-games/freestyle mx thingy....) and Robbie did a back flip and dis-located his shoulder by pulling on the bars...he stopped then got it popped back in and continued with his jumps...what a boy!

They've built 10 full size Lanc models in China for filming---

Those crazy college kids ....and their CGI software !

You get a good feel for the sheer size of the Lanc here----

Cheers Andy , I'll look out for that on Youtube or the channel 5 circuit in about 2 years time !

We used to play a similar game with a hill climb (doesn't have to be a big hill). Progressively, shorten your run-up by moving forward a stick placed at your front-wheel as a start-point marker (literally throwing down the gauntlet). See who can get the start-stick nearest the peak (or imaginary end flags) of the hill. Tried this at Warden Law once and was pretty chuffed with mesel, then the big boys came along (KSV on TrialsCentral here) and used the stick(in the same place ) as a reference/start point for their back wheel !!! A whole bike length less run-up was a whole world away for me ,skills-wise. But as Brucie says...'Good game, good game..'

Things are looking up for Scor-co (can't use Sher-pa for copyright reasons). From what I recall Tessier was the GasGas engine guy before he went off to help establish Sherco. I don't know about his financial clout but as far as manufacturing off-road bikes are concerned he's trials bike royalty.

As if by magic: National Geographic channel tonight at 9 pm, Hitlers stealth bomber ...pity I don't have Sky or Cable telly

Hmmm,wood and canvas wings with jet engines(those early Nazi turbines detonated by themselves) built into the fuselage, sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

I wouldn't go running round the hills in Scotchland. ..I'm not that brave....There are still relatives of Sawney Bean out there you know !

He,he, those crazy Scotch people think the North Sea gas/oil reserves are theirs as well ..they can keep their rights to the deep fried Mars bar though !
