Yeah - I can picture it now. Pack of Regal King size in one hand for Kinell and a sheep on a leash in the other for Perce...

It is regretable to have to reprimand one of the Team WOFTAM members, but if we are to suceed in taking First, Second and Third at this year's SSDT then all Riders need to be lean, mean riding machines. They do NOT need to be caught doing things like this. Mr. Kinell, do you have anything to say in your defence?

Received it this morning or it was on your phone when you got up? They were sent out around midnight last night.

Cheers. Onwards and upwards as they say! These are ideas I've had for a long time but sure as hell wasn't going to implement them for someone else to take the cash and give nothing back!! As far as stickers goes, it's being looked into. you could see if Marky Boy has any left.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha h ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah a hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha That is all.

He won't fool around - he's taking his new girlfriend with him:

Gav - to be serious for a moment. You've got a lot of experienced riders from all over the world giving you advice here. You'll learn loads if you ignore the larking about with spelling and listen to the technical advice that's been given. Ishy has good credentials in the SSDT and Al belongs to a Club with a really long name so that must count for something!

Nice photos - thanks for sharing. I know they're not all Trials, but I'd be quite interested in putting these in a proper gallery with descriptions so the search engines pick them up - either for you to host or myself. I'm quite into preserving photos of the old stuff on the Web for future generations to see.

This is just toooooooooo funny.

Marky made them himself. He did mention something about some spares though.

Yeah- congrats to Ian and well done to Eboracum for a great Trial. I couldn't stick around as long as I'd have liked because of the trip home, but it was my first Trial in Yorkshire on the East side of the A1 and it was a great location. Drove down yesterday, not in any hurry and was well impressed by the scenery - no, it's not as impressive as the Highlands of Scotland (but then I'm biased!) but it is nice. Stayed in the Millburn Arms in Rosewell Abbey last night and can recommend it to anyone thinking of going to the Colonial next year. Nice wee village hotel with good beer and fantastic food. Reasonably priced too and only couple of minutes from the start. And no - I'm not on a backhander! I know the organisers had a very long, hard day and I must thank them (again) for getting their results to me so quickly. When there are photos folk want to know who did what. Hopefully they're enjoying a few well-earned pints right now

Marky boy is The Wizard - take a look at www.wizardpaintwerx.com - that's his work, BUT I wasn't talking about the paint job. I was talking about the Trials Central stickers!

...for your lid Thanks to Marky Boy for the publicity. Colonial photos up soon. Great day, but bluddy cold!

It uses Windows Media Player. Does it work with any other videos? Try the "Cool" something or another in the bike trials forum. It was a short video i posted. If that plays then I don't see any reason for the worldtrials ones not to.

I spoke (as in email) with Caroline @ Sandifords not long ago and their website will be undergoing a revamp. I don't know what's to be included, but you may see what you're looking for. Have any of you emailed these folk saying "Hey it would be a great idea if...."? Don't expect folk to be psychic and as has been said many times - Trials isn't F1 - they don't have huge budgets to employ the cream of website design.

Not toll free, but their normal number is +44 1397 702241. I thought it only cost you sixpence to phone anywhere in the world anyway?

I would point out for those who don't know that in the US, a fanny pack is what is known here as a "bum bag"!!!

Can you get in touch please. I've been trying to reply to your email regarding your offer but it keeps bouncing

I know they're Spanish, but it annoyed me to see no photos of anybody else other than Raga coming out of the Barcelona round. The problem with Clubs running is who is going to operate the press machine? One centralised press source was always good news for folk like me.

I took one look and thought "Fawlty Towers"

Consider it bought - speak to Kinell. He's our financial manager Seriously - I'm not sure where we're staying - Stuart's sorted that bit out, but a pint would be in order methinks

Ahhh - Dabrama - i see you're local(ish!). We don't want to hire a car because that would mean people carrier or minibus that's just going to sit idle for the duration. somebody mentioned trains. What's the best way to get from Belfast Int to Bangor? Airport bus into Belfast then train or wot? any help appreciated!

Well they caught me out - no first lap results. Dougie failed to qualify - in fact he got well and truly whipped. Front page article just been updated with qualification lap. 1. Raga 2. Freixa 3. Fuji
