Because Bigfoot is naked in it?

Tell you what Robert - the World Round at Aonach Mor is just seven weeks away. Come up and I'll introduce you and let you educate Dougie & Mart - on the condition you lend me your camera so I can film them in HD tearing you a new one

Why are you starting multiple topics on the same thing? This is getting a bit tedious...

With the 2010 Scottish literally just days away, I've made a couple of changes to the TC forums. Firstly, I've split the normal SSDT forum out from the General forums and given it it's own category up top and more prominent for the duration of the Trial. Secondly, and this is pretty cool (if you're a geek like me ) you'll notice a seperate forum called "SSDT News Feed". We now have a little software "robot" watching the SSDT website. Whenever the organisers post an update to the SSDT website a new Topic will be created in the SSDT News Feed Forum with a summary of that update and a link that will take you to the full article on the SSDT site. Users will be able to post comments/replies to topics in the SSDT News Feed Forum, but you will not be able to create new Topics. Only our little robot can create topics in that Forum. Use the normal SSDT Chat forum for any new topics you wish to create. There will also be changes made to the TC front page to automate the updating of news from the 2010 SSDT which will be implemented tomorrow before I head off to the Pre-65

Must have this! 1000 Years of annoying the French "Was the Battle of Hastings a French victory? No! William the Conqueror was Norman and hated the French. Were the Brits really responsible for the death of Joan of Arc? No! The French sentenced her to death for wearing trousers. Was the guillotine a French invention? No! It was invented in Yorkshire. Ten centuries' worth of French historical 'facts' bite the dust as Stephen Clarke looks at what has really been going on since 1066. "

8pm Monday night is decided as that suits the majority. Anybody wanting to join us is more than welcome, but I need to know sooner rather than later to get it booked. Send me a PM or email me - trialscentral AT trialscentral.com

Dodgy copies of Ryan's DVD's have come up in the past. The answer is don't buy from EBay if you want to be sure you're buying the genuine article. Motomerlin - who support this site sell the genuine article. If you want it, buy from them. They help pay the costs of providing Trials Central which helps you have this forum to talk on

Can't picture you right now, but I know we must have met as I've met all the RAF boys through Mark. I'll PM you my mobile number in case you change your mind about the curry. The lads might take the p*** if you have a Korma. but you'd be welcome nonetheless.

+3?

I can't say for certain as the pic is tiny, but your avatar looks supiciously like it was taken at Creag Lundie in which case you made it much further than Leanachen on the Monday

so funny he had to post it twice

Agreed. Park up in the field at the community hall - cost you a donation, but worth it to support the local community and then drop into the hall for cuppa and a sandwich and try some of their home baking. I've not got a sweet tooth and rarely eat cakes etc, but what they have in there is to die for. All home-made too. Manna from heaven

Nice analogy. I like that one

Monday night looks best for pretty much everyone. Please confirm if that's okay.

If there was a prize, you'd win it. That's exactly what he meant

That in itself opens a whole can of worms. The FIM have no technical representatives. They have guys who go out and homologate venues, but very often those guys are not qualified to decide and venues should not have been homologated for various reasons. Other than that they are not very good (to say the least) at making decisions, and even less good at sticking by any decisions they do tentatively make. That only serves to make them look weak. You then have the various ways different countries do things. Each is different. Some do their very best, but are still learning - Poland/Czech, some are flexible in change - Spain/Andorra, some get emotional, but eventually adapt - Italy, some are downright rude and just do things their own way regardless - France/Japan. I'm not sure where that leaves the UK. Ask me after June

LS Motors Honda

Great result - especially after going clean yesterday and not getting the win, but the burning question is - did Pat smile?!! I've made it my mission this year to see the lad smile and if that means taking him to Strip Club Pamela after the final round in the Czech Republic then so be it I'm sure Copey and some of the other guys would chip in towards the "expenses"

After many years of providing the top-notch Montesa service at the SSDT, Caz finally has a year off where she can take in the Trial and relax, but is she going to? Nope. She's going to climb Ben Nevis in aid of The Christie Cancer Charity in Manchester in memory of her late father, Jim. If you've enjoyed Sandiford's hospitality and service at the SSDT over the many years, go on - donate a couple of quid. At the time of writing this Caz is at 89% of her target. Every little helps so, let's see her get there HOWEVER!!! Taking on the mighty Ben Nevis is NOT what makes Caroline Sandiford a remarkable woman. What makes her remarkable is that she's actually manage to do what NOBODY else has ever achieved and got money out of John Moffat! - and it wasn't just 10p either! We can only assume Caz has something on John and is blackmailing him Whatever means she used to get him to show the moths some daylight, that achievement alone has to be worth a donation! You can donate safely and easily online via JustGiving by clicking here. What's better, if you're a UK tax payer they'll add on Gift Aid at no cost to you, further boosting your donation. Alternately I'm sure Caz will happily take donations in Fort William

Confirmed and front page now. Looks like young Toni is by no means unstoppable. Not even on the podium.

Under protest. Not confirmed.

He has. Front page now.

Click me <sits back and waits for the a-hootin' and a-hollerin' to begin>

And normally he makes his (wrong) predictions then buggers off home on the Monday. This time he's up all week for us to tear him a new one

Difficult to say till I suss responses. Any night fits for us as we don't have an "early day" to fit in. Don't know why having an early day the next day is a problem though. Nobody said it was compulsory to drink loads and a decent curry inside you gives you that extra bit of rocket propulsion across the moors in the morning
