    Don't know if its been posted before, Hell he can even drive a train is there anything this guy can't do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA-zamkMBBE
  3. Les Winththrop who has won the Scottish Championship a few times so can ride a bit? He still trims his handlebars down now and when explained his reasoning was valid? With standard bars when riding say up a rock gully and your handle bars are fighting to stay on line it is pulling your shoulder too which would make you loose balance, by shortening them keeps the body more in line as you are not over stretching? Seems to make a bit of sense?
  4. Not many people knew that story so I am guessing you must have been there?
  5. Wrong sort of practice? Don't look very ''NO STOP'' to me?
  6. Think this is who your looking for?
  7. Yet you still wrote two long paragraphs picking holes in how legal the bike is to ride?

  9. Hi Martin give Paul a call at Cambridge Trials Centre
  10. Well the Red Bull Team did this? Don't know how to embed the vid but follow linky? or Andy can you sort
  11. Does any bike, new paint job, new stickers and a few fancy words to make it sound more dynamic and there you have it next years model?
  12. Pete I don't really see why why the clubs have a bunch of code numbers to let some unpaid secretery do the ACU's job? My point being that let those that wish to go and purchase an ACU licence and make it simple and those that don't will have to pay a Day Licence on the day. Now I don't know how much you have to give to the ACU for a day license? but lets say it is £2-00 then you charge it at £5-00 and this is where the club benefits, lets not forget the unpaid secretery is doing this already, but now some goes into club funds? Of course you would have to show your ACU licence and I do wonder how many can even find theirs let alone when they last produced it, but the guys that ride year in year out without paying the £10-00 and riding without a licence will be numbered and both the ACU and the Club will benefit?
  13. I know it has been talked to death, but maybe the system needs to be simple i.e just go online and purchase a license? At each trial you have to produce your licence if not then you pay the club fee to buy a day licence with so much going to the ACU and the remainder going into club coffers. Yes more work for the unpaid secretery, but this time the club benefits. Reckon a few more will get their ACU licence if they are asked to cough up each time they want to compete. Can't remember the last time I showed my ACU licence? oh yes 2007 SSDT? I think I know what the ACU are trying to achieve the fact that you have to be a member of a club to get an ACU licence, which in theory works! but how many riders at your local trial have a licence?
  14. Can't see what that has to do with the SACU? From what I have heard the entry fees are cheap in Scotland at club level and have been for years, when the SACU goes bust because there is not enough money in the coffers, you won't have to worry about going to trials cos there won't be any? You have to travel a lot further than most to get to trials, but the SACU shouldn't be subsidising your overall cost to compete at weekends? Hell what do I know I am a Yorkshireman short arms and very deep pockets!!!!
  15. Don't matter what he thinks? It is what the observer thinks? Suppose a bit like when they roll back and get away with it? maybe a ''stop'' might be marked to the letter of the law, but hell it won't make a difference? You still got the old Bulto Andrew reckon it might be coming back into fashion!!!!
  16. Keeping their options open with that time scale then!!!!!

    Cheapest bike have ever owned the initial cost was high, but the after cost is minimal I don't think they would make there money in spares?
  18. Here we go again I must admit it has started early. Do you think I can get my Mont 4RT thtough if I change the forks and put drum brakes on?
  19. On his visit to Ireland the Pope stops to chat with people in the street. He asks Paddy what he thinks of County Down. Paddy replies "It's rubbish since Carol Voderman left."
  20. An Arab Sheik was admitted to Hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to store his blood in case the need arises. As the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally, so, the call went out. Finally a Scotsman was located who had a similar blood type. The Scot willingly donated his blood for the Arab. After the surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman as appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, diamonds & US dollars. A couple of days later, once again, the Arab had to go through a corrective surgery. His doctor telephoned the Scotsman who was more than happy to donate his blood again. After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street chocolates. The Scotsman was shocked that the Arab did not reciprocate his kind gesture as he had anticipated. He phoned the Arab and asked him: "I thought you would be generous again, that you would give me a BMW, diamonds & money, but you only gave me a thank-you card and a box of Quality Street." To this the Arab replied: "Aye laddie, but I now have Scottish blood in ma veins".
