Give it a couple of months and the trams will have thinned them out

Where are you located? If in the UK, we sometimes see groups from the same club, but not aware of anyone who organises these things specifically. It's not hard to sort out yourself really, though I'd give Corsica a miss this year unless you're minted as the price of flights was astronomical Belgium was the cheapest for flights of the ones I've booked so far.

Purely speculation and totally uninformed! Hope are a sponsor of Dougie and there is a very good relationship there. Hope also have a reputation for producing very high quality components. This is just my opinion and I have heard nothing to back this theory up (if I had heard anything it would have been told in confidence and I wouldn't be posting about it), but it would be an ideal opportunity for them to develop and test high quality parts for the Trials market if they were so inclined.

Given the relationships that exist, I wouldn't be surprised to see some specialist Hope parts on the Vertigo offering when it breaks cover...

As per front page story here Barcelona is set to become home to yet another new brand of Trials bike with Jordi Tarres announcing he is to be part of the all-new TRS brand. TRS Motorcycles, whose main activity will consist of the design, manufacture and global marketing under the trade name of TRS Trial bike, has developed a business plan which provides in a first phase a three-year view with a projected a turnover of 6,000,000 EURO with a staff comprising of fifteen people, and in the planned second phase which takes the brand up to six years, a range of new models of motorcycles within the off-road sector. TRS is born from the initiative and the momentum of its four partners, Jordi Tarrés, former seven times world Trial Champion, and better known more recently as the man behind the now established Jotagas brand, Ricardo Novel, a Bercelona entrepreneur whose current involvement with seven companies revolves around logistics, spare parts and other processes of industry in relation to the automotive world. Also involved in the project is Marc Arañó, an individual with solid experience in the two-wheel sector with history at such companies such as Derbi (Piaggio Group), Gas Gas motorcycles and Jotagas. The final member of the management team is Josep Borrell, a Barcelona businessman who manages several investment funds and whose passion for motorbikes led him to invest personally in the past years in companies such as Gas Gas and JTG. TRS was formed in 2013 and has planned to start production of its first model in 3 displacements (250, 280 and 300 cc) in late 2014 and the development of new displacements during 2015. TRS will have their production facilities in the province of Barcelona, from where they will also manage departments of I + D + I, while a sporting level foresees progressive participation that will be linked to the consolidation of the business. Jordi Tarrés: “Our goal is to have a good bike and our priority is to ensure a good service; We have consolidated a good team that I trust fully and with which I feel very much at home. We have assembled everything you need to make TRS a benchmark and a company in which the market can place trust and confidence both short, as medium and long term.”

Kenny's gone a bit quiet and it is somewhat Rooster related so... A chicken farmer went to a local bar.... Sat next to a woman and ordered a glass of champagne.. The woman perks up and says, 'How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!' 'What a coincidence' the farmer says. 'This is a special day for me.... I'm celebrating' 'This is a special day for me too, I'm also celebrating!' says the woman. 'What a coincidence!' says the farmer! As they clinked glasses the man asked, 'What are you celebrating?'... 'My husband and I have been trying to have a child and today my gynecologist told me that I am pregnant!' 'What a coincidence,' says the man. 'I'm a chicken farmer and for years all of my hens were infertile, but today they are all laying fertilized eggs.' 'That's great!' says the woman. 'How did your chickens become fertile?' 'I used a different cock,' he replied. The woman smiled and said, 'What a coincidence.'

Easier for me to do it than try to explain!

This is on the front page, but posting here also to spread the word as much as possible: North Berks MCC - The 1st round of the S3 Championship, The Wallace Cup Trial has now been CANCELLED by request of the land owners due to the land being waterlogged. It is with great regret that we have had to do this as so much hard work has gone into the trial by many club members. We have to go with what the land owners ask as with out them we could not run trials. Very sorry to everyone who has entered, we have tried our hardest to run this event.

First time I'd been to one of those events. It's like Trials on speed.

All to do with time. There was SuperEnduro World Championship event on the same night in the same arena (though obviously not both at the same time!)

Oops! The photos show it empty because the qualifying was held behind closed doors late morning/early afternoon. The claimed figure for the "main event" in the evening was 11,000. It was a good crowd.

Had it confirmed today that it will be Honda from the start of the Outdoor Championship.

Out here for 3rd round of 2014 X-Trial Championship. Will be posting updates to the TC Twitter and Instagram accounts as the day progresses. I don't think you have to be registered for either to view posts, though you might have to manually refresh pages to see new stuff. Twitter - https://twitter.com/trials_central Instagram - http://instagram.com/trialscentral# Some stuff may also appear on the TC Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/trialscentral but they're funny. If you make too many posts in succession they stop publishing them.

Because it's on Vimeo, not YouTube and is in Flash. Apple devices don't support Flash.

A forum is only as good as the people who contribute to it so well done you

Stuck this on t'front page, but for those who don't venture out of here... Gas Gas UK are open as normal, but are currently having a problem with BT regarding their phone lines resulting in NO landline phones (incoming or outgoing). It is not certain when the problem will be sorted so ‘for now’ please email all inquires / orders to mail@gasgasuk.com For emergency only phone mobile number 07970 490619 This is now fixed

BTW, the Marseille video has been on the front page for a few days now.

I've not done instructions for that because all you do is paste in the URL, the software detects it's video and automatically embeds it. Doesn't work for all video providers, but does for the most popular ones

As a lot of the topics posted, particularly in the bike specific forums, are questions, a new feature has been enabled. This allows a topic starter to select what they think is the "Best Answer" to their question. This is very straightforward. At the bottom right of each reply, the topic starter ONLY will see the below: Simply click to select the reply you deem to be the best answer. Once a best answer is selected, the button text will change to "Unmark Best Answer" which can, obviously, be used to de-select a reply. Alternately, if there is an answer later that you think is even better than the one you've already chosen, then simply selecting that answer will automatically de-select your initial choice. When a reply is marked as "best answer", that reply will then be highlighted and the forum topic view will be updated: This feature is not enabled across all forums e.g. Offroad Archive forums and Anything Goes forum Feel free to play. You can't break anything with this. Anyone marking their own replies as best answer will be noted as a bit sad.
