  1. The next round of the SACU Adult and Clubman championship will be held at Craiglash Quarry Hill, West of Banchory, Aberdeenshire just off the North Deeside Road on the 14th of September. This is a great venue with a decent lap and some very nice sections. In an attempt to increase the turn out of riders the clubman route (basically the B route) will be tamed to ensure all who turn up can have a good ridable day. Anyone who is not riding the Adult championships is eligable to rider the clubman route. Come along and help support the club and Scottish trials in general. Regs are availble on the Bon Accord Motorcycle Club website. www.bamcc.co.uk Get you entry in soon so the club don't get in the situation of the last round where it was cancelled due to lack of interest.
  2. I've already sent a donation through the link but may find a few more quid for a photo of her in her tight lycra one piece body suit.
  3. I'd leave it in the dealers where it wouldn't get a marque on it.
  4. There speaks a man with far too much money.
  5. I think the direction arrow is important if your going to be driving at great speed and by that I mean speeds greater than even a mont can reach. It's to do with the tyre construction but I've never seen a trials tyre de-laminate and can't imagine I evder will. I always turn mine as I don't have too much money and even if I did I think I'd do the same and spend the money saved on more drink.
  6. I do but I'm in Korea at the moment so it will have to wait until I get home. PM me your address and I'll stick a CD in the post of Dave.
  7. He's still not speaking to me for that bit.
  8. I did wonder about that then I edited it but wanted people to read the credits to make sure the SSDT committee got their recognition.
  9. PM me your address and I'll stick one in the post. If you like it you can send me
  10. Three each of Liston and Lewis, eleven of Gary and none of Euan. It all down to luck. We just turn up at sections and film whoever is there. Euan must be one of few we missed.
  11. This year SSDT 1 hour DVD is now shipping. I have a bunch leaving today but if you haven't already requested a copy now is the time. This DVD video was intended to be free of charge. However when I tote up all the costs involved in not just staying in Fort William for a weeks filming but buying DVD
  12. 6-5-4 I hope when I open my eyes that fat bloke from TC has gone 3-2-.... or Bo and luke hadn't been to the gym for a while.
  13. It's probably smarter than it looks. The worlds rotational speed will to liked to the the bike speed as long at there is no wind.
  14. You only need a C spanner, maybe two if you can't get the upper ring to loosen off the lower one.

    Tyre Pressures

    I always carry a spare rim just in case. But carrying that means I have no space for a tube or turds.

    Tyre Pressures

    I've often wondered about this. You hear people saying all the time that running with a low tyre pressure increases the risk of punctures. The point I'd like you to ponder is this. Is it easier to to burst a tightly blown up balloon or a very soft one. Rubber tends to gie when soft but punctures better when there is less give. I run about 7 in the front and 3-4 in the back in almost all conditions except road work. My concern for running too low would be coming off the rim but I use Dunlops and they can be run flat without coming off the rim most of the time. I've seen me let the rear down to 1-2 psi in very slippery conditions. Never had a puncture yet. Now I know I'm going to regret saying that.
  18. There is obviously a lot more footage than makes up the DVD. If you are asking for a copy of the DVD and were a rider this year you'll probably get preference and as a bonus tell my you rode, you're real name and I'll chuck in a CD with all the footage I have of you that didn't make it on to the DVD.
  19. Folks. The video is much better in full DVD high res format. I will be providing free copies but these will probably be limited to a first come first served basis and only to trials central supporters. It cost a lot to have two of us in FW for the week and then the time it takes to sort it all out then burn disks and post them. If interest is very high I'll have to introduce a small fee to cover the P&P and hastle. Paypal is good for that though. Let me know who would like a copy and PM your address. I'll have Andy check that the supporter status before sending them out. Any everyone will have to wait until I get back in to the UK in July. Once you have a copy you can copy it to you heart's content. John
  20. Thanks GTGAS that's a real help.
  21. The mirror was probably left in there from last year's SSDT. It'll be Kinell's signalling mirror.
  22. Title: Here comes the breeze - Album: Bring it on - Artist: Gomez Title: Castaway - Album: Warning - Artist: Green Day
  23. He gets a call earlier on in the video at Fersit. He's a friend and local club member who rode well all week Mark 'pavement' Grant as I've called him on the vid. The rider names have gone off the bottom of the screen in the second half. I'll need to sort that before burning DVDs.
