Bernard Mathews has passed away a good day for every Turkey and Chicken in this country! Family were wondering whether to bury him, but they have decided to cremate him.........but stuffing him first

Katie goes to her future Mother-in-Law for advise? ''After giving my William oral I get really bad indegestion? The Queen without hesitation said........... . . . . . . ''Have you tried ANDREWS?''

300 Gas Gas for a kid, now that sounds like an ideal bike? Ok I will swap it for a 290 Beta? Hmmmmmmmmm Back on Topic anything away from Sherco was a good move for Pune and with Shirty kicking him back into shape like he did with Dibs then I think he will produce some better results this year. Bike choice is what it says a ''Choice'' and all the major bikes on the market are far bette than the rider controling it, so to say this is better than that is Cr*p. I have never had a Gasser as I have prefered other marks, but I must say the new one looks, sounds and rides superb...............but its the Mont for me

Moderators....Can we make this a ''Sticky Thread''

Rode these in the 1986 SSDT for the Army Team, good bike with some good parts fitted only one problem Yamaha brought out a certain TY250 Mono and the rest is history!! Colin Cass looking on!! Anybody takes the p*** out of the hair style.............''I'll Kill Ya'' Armstrong was started by Alan Clews of Clews Competition Motorcycles(CCM)he is the one on the right in the last photo, having had '83 and '84 on Fantic Motor we had to ride the Armstongs as the Alan Clews had just picked up the contract to provide the Military Motorcycle. Just found the article from T&MX

Beat me to it Donald and echo your statement. If you think I was disrespecting any of our British riders then you are wrong! I would add that if any Spanish, French, Japanese etc. rider outside of the top four are capable of getting the ''All that was on offer'' ride then that is a darn site better than buggar all, because that is the reality and anybody else looking through Rose-Tinted Spectacles My link is far removed from the reality of the WTC as it stands now. You could argue according to rumour and gospel that the only rider to come good out of the British crop is Dibs (Beat No.1)???? The rest Wiggy (Sherco No2), Pune (Gas Gas No.?), Jack C (TTT No.1?), Jack S (TTT) not done bad considering but they are scratching around for the deals!

Think you will find he has signed a Gas Gas contract? watch this space!!!!

Because his bike dodn't start one morning? Dougs bike broke down Monday that would put Wiggy down to 3rd? Wiggys win was superb in the SSDT but in the sections 2 people were ahead of him, its a bit like Bou cleaning a WTC trial and loosing time to all the others and coming last, does that mean the other riders are better than him? Total respect for Wiggy, is it a good move to Sherco or was that all that was on the table, good luck to him

Not sure why you would want to change them unless you are following the Manual? I was told that indeed it is basically the same as a CRF 250 and that is gesigned to be reved at full tilt for hours? What we do in trials is nothing so was advised to leave alone? Anyway the Honda part number is 13011-NN4-000 that seems to be for all 3 rings. Maybe this will help

Yes I can as I was with Dougie all the time during his breakdown in the SSDT (I would say helping, but that's against the rules ) It has been documented before in the SSDT forum, but to make it brief, Dougs bike would not start at section 6 on the last group of the day and got it down to the road. The obvious thought after disconnecting the kill switch, new plug was the stator, so set about removing it waiting for Mart and Griff to ''Steadily'' drive from the Fort. When they arrived the new stator was put on in a matter of minutes (good job as Mart ran over the old one parking up!!) and still no spark, Griffs words were ''Well we will change the coil but I doubt it is that on a Beta''.............Fired up first kick and Doug albeit too late was on his way. John Lampkin has taken coils to the SSDT year in and year out and not used one, sure enough one day one would fail and it happened to be Doug's bike. The other thing I was told is the wiring loom is different on the works bikes too, so it could have been any number of things! So to say it was a stator problem is only an assumption!! and I beleive the Evo is far superior to the REV-3 stator? Yes you might still get the odd one but not the quantaties as before. As I said above Doug's stator was fine until Lampkin Senior ran over it

You got a late entry Fred

If women are so good at multi-tasking? Why can't they have a headache and sex at the same time?

Maybe they have and I bet if that daft buggar was riding he would turn left down to 'Pipers'??

Another famous trial that heralds from a famous 'Lancashire Lad' is ''THE CURRAN CUP'' Its a Loooooooong distance road based trial, no markers on the road so a good knowledge of the area or a 'Road Map' is required?

I did hear this rumour along with Wiggy going to do Speedway?? Both are possibilities Doug has done it in trials and if there is a bit of enjoyment and some brass to be made in extreme enduros and Gas Gas want him then that is where he will go. Wiggy has he reached his ceiling in trials? if so then speedway again is where he could make money and a living if he is any good? Probably shows you especialy with the latter that the job is knackered at the top end of our sport, no sponsorship, no money and when any of us could buy a licence travel the world and score points for riding through the start cards it don't bode well for the future!!

Things are slowly coming together, might be a bike on the horizon literally.............Forfar, Scotland does Justin need a passport? In the meantime we were thinking of this?

Right? Bit of an update as we need to get things moving and thanks for the replies. Below is what we are thinking of using? Now your thinking why? I will take no praise apart from the ''Racing'' so it was Justin's thinking? Tim, his wife Helen and myself have birthdays in May within 3 days of each other so our Star Sign is Taurus, so where does that leave Justin...............?? Remember me saying he drinks a lot of Red Bull? We may have an answer!! He is also full of Bull Sh*t so that fits too (sorry mate!!) As we have both said we will be moving on this by middle of next week so it ain't over yet for any other suggestions and thoughts Cheers M&J

40th Birthday present...? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY WEEK AT THE GYM: This is dedicated to everyone who ever attempted to get into a regular workout routine. Dear Diary: For my fortieth birthday this year, my wife, purchased a week of personal training at the Hermanus health club for me. Although I am still in great shape since playing on my school rugby team 25yrs ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservation with a personal trainer named Belinda, who identified herself as a 26 yr. old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swimwear. My wife seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress. MONDAY: Started my day at 6:00am. Tough to get out of bed, but it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Belinda waiting for me. She was something of a Greek goddess with blonde hair, dancing eyes and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!!!!! She took my pulse after 5 minutes on the treadmill. She was alarmed that my pulse was so fast, but I attributed it to standing next to her in her Lycra aerobics outfit. I enjoyed watching the skilful way in which she conducted her aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring, Belinda was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, Although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time she was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!! TUESDAY: I drank a whole pot of coffee to wash down my bacon sandwich, but I finally made it out the door. Belinda made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air..........and then she put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. Belinda's rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT!! It's a whole new life for me. WEDNESDAY: The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it as my arms don't work!. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. Belinda was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered the other club members. My chest hurts when I got on the treadmill, so Belinda put me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate climing stairs an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Belinda told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. She said some other sh *t too. THURSDAY: Belinda was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl I couldn't help being a half an hour late? ............it took me that long to tie my shoes. Belinda took me to workout with dumbbells. When she was not looking, I ran and hid in the men's room. She sent Lars to find me, then, as punishment, put me on the rowing machine...................which I sank. FRIDAY: I hate that bitch Belinda more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic little cheerleading b1tch. If there were a part of my body could move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it! Belinda wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the*&%#(#&** barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich. The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director? SATURDAY: Belinda left a message on my answering machine in her grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing her made me want to smash the machine with the TV remote control. However, I lacked the strength to even use that and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel. SUNDAY: I'm having the Church van pick me up to go to church today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year, my wife (the b !tch), will choose a gift for me that is fun

The bike and rider.....................2011 we got the rider but No Bike as of yet? Watch this space?

The Team

Ok peeps! This year while resting my back after major back surgery I have been helping out ''The Addict'' with pit crew for his brother who is not bad competing in the raod races (he is Bl**dy Quick) 2010 was a good year and expectations were high going into the last round of the championship trailing by 1 mark to lift the silverware. Unfortunately things didn't go according to plan with a flat spot on a new engine and he binned it at over 120mph trashing the bike!! Those on FB have seen the photo's? Things could have been worse as the bike is a 2005 model worth about 5K and he took out most of the top boys when he spilled it on their 50k plus machinery :mellow So what does 2011 bring well ''The Addict'' and myself have taken it on to run a race team and take some of the pressure of Tim his brother, New bike, new sponsors hopefully and a succesful season to look forward to. The only thing is we haven't got a team name? So all the people that know us will no doubt come up with some witty names (these will always be considered), but serious names would be good? Tims bike was looking a bit tired towards the end of the season and was held together with ''Gaffa Tape'' so we used Team Gaffa as our title, hopefully with a better bike and sponsors we can go up market a bit I await the replies Cheers Mark & Justin (he smokes rollies, drinks loads of Red Bull and eats 10 Star Bars a day)

Didn't know Facebook made bikes?

Can't post this in the general forum as Son may view and he don't know? He is getting married in November and the wise cracks in the Midlands think all Yorkshiremen are 'Farmers' so the stag do back in my hometown and we are going as farmers complete with wellies and flat caps. Thought I would add to the theme on the evening by getting some animals Complete with hole in the ar*e Wonder if any forum members are familiar with this item it looks like a 'Swaldale'?? The rest of the family are here Any other suggestions can be considered?
