Probably quite interesting to watch too as one stupid mistake could drop you a few places? Concerntation is a must when the scoring is low, be interesting to see what the riders thought?

Sorry ?????????????? But haven't a lot of the people on here that have been in the sport a Loooooooooooong time been saying make the sections easier to open it up to more people? Only to be shouted down saying this is the World Championship and it should be hard? Well it is not sustainable in its present format so maybe they need to consider this? Maybe combine the Championship Class and Juniors on eased sections and have a seperate route for the Youth Class?

Look guys its simple if its raining............Put on your Gortex If it ain't raining.............Put on your Gortex................Because it will

Plenty of people doing their Charity bit before and during the SSDT and for anyone that is not aware this is form the SSDT website Please Give Your Support The 3 ''Goons'' that were debating and answering questions last night all agreed that the Troops must continue in Afghanistan and this Charity needs supporting so ''Dig Deep'' and give generously **Note** Not the easiest place to get money from as the town Is full of ''Scotsmen'' and ''Yorkshiremen''..........................and Big John always has a habit of leaving his wallet at home the first week in May

I agree that the SSDT should ''NOT'' become a World Round, but it would be good if the factories made their riders ride it to maybe boost bike sales? and the club don't make the sections any harder!! It was good in the 80's when all the Factory riders were there, silly sections in the 90's and then the factories pulled their riders out? Think the sections will be a good test for the WTC riders up there with Mart and Jake at the helm, hopefully more flowing than stop, hop and leap.

Good post and some valid points, all you got to do now is get the FIM to listen? It will be interseting to see how a certain Mr Cabestany will cope in a few days time in the SSDT, my bet is still with Doug, on paper you would say Cabby would win as he is the better rider, throw in Dibs, Browny, Wiggy, Gary Mac, Dan Thorpe and a few others and it will be an interesting Top 10, a good traditional trial brings a lot of riders closer together and you could have a different winner. Bou is amazing, but barring a complete disater he will win every World Round on current form, does that make the Championship interesting?

Polotics I am going to vote for Icelandic Volcano Party ...................... They've done more to stop immagration in the last 5 days than The Labour Party have done in over 10 years .....

Seems the Volcano has postponed the Moto GP in Japan Japan Postponed

Experts on the news tonight are saying that the volcanoes are still ''Blowing'' and even if they stop it would be several days before it settles before flights can resume?? Is there any European airports operating? Maybe need to fly into there and then ''Thumb it''

One day an Irishman, who had been stranded on a deserted island for over 10 years, saw a speck on the horizon. He thought to himself, "It's certainly not a ship" As the speck got closer and closer, he began to rule out even the possibilities of a small boat or a raft. Suddenly there strode from the surf a figure clad in a black wet suit. Putting aside the scuba tanks and mask and zipping down the top of the wet suit stood a drop-dead gorgeous blonde! She walked up to the stunned Irishman and said to him, "Tell me, how long has it been since you've had a good cigar?" "Ten years," replied the amazed Irishman. With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproof pocket on the left sleeve of her wet suit and pulled out a fresh package of cigars and a lighter. He took a cigar, slowly lit it, and took a long drag. "Faith and begorrah," said the castaway, Ahh "that is so good! I'd almost forgotten how great a smoke can be!" "And how long has it been since you've had a drop of good Bushmill's Irish Whiskey?" asked the blonde. Trembling, the castaway replied, "Ten years." Hearing that, the blonde reached over to her right sleeve, unzipped a pocket there and removed a flask and handed it to him. He opened the flask and took a long drink. "Tis nectar of the gods!" shouted the Irishman. " 'Tis truly fantastic!!!" At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right down the middle. She looked at the trembling man and asked, "And how long has it been since you played around?" With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph! . . . . . . Don't tell me that you've got golf clubs in there too!

The Elections are coming up so read this................................. While walking down the street one day a "Member of Parliament" is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. 'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.' 'No problem, just let me in,' says the man. 'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.' 'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the MP. 'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.' And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.... The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. 'Now it's time to visit heaven.' So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. 'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.' The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.' So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. ' I don't understand,' stammers the MP. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened? ' The devil looks at him, smiles and says, ' Yesterday we were campaigning.. ... ............. today you voted.

Fine weather rider

Two rednecks are out hunting, and as they are walking along they come upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and are amazed by the size of it. The first hunter says " Wow, that's some hole, I can't even see the bottom, I wonder how deep it is?" The second hunter says" I don't know, let's throw something down and listen and see how long it takes to hit bottom." The first hunter says " There's this old transmission here, give me a hand and we'll throw it in and see". So they pick it up and carry it over, and count one, and two and three, and throw it in the hole. They are standing there listening and looking over the edge and they hear a rustling in the brush behind them. As they turn around they see a goat come crashing through the brush, run up to the hole with no hesitation, and jump in headfirst. While they are standing there looking at each other, looking in the hole, and trying to figure out what that was all about, an old farmer walks up. "Say there", says the farmer, "you fellers didn't happen to see my goat around here anywhere, did you?" The first hunter says " Funny you should ask, but we were just standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes doin' about a hunert miles an hour and jumped headfirst into this hole here!" And the old farmer said " Why that's impossible, I had him chained to a transmission! "

Fred and Larry got married in California . They couldn't afford a honeymoon so, they go back to Fred's Mom and Dad's house for their first married night together. In the morning, Johnny, Fred's little brother, gets up and has his breakfast. As he is going out of the door to go to school, he asks his mom if Fred and Larry are up yet. She replies, 'No'. Johnny asks, 'Do you know what I think?' His mom replies, 'I don't want to hear what you think! Just go to school.' Johnny comes home for lunch and asks his mom, 'Are Fred and Larry up yet?' She replies, 'No.' Johnny says, 'Do you know what I think?' His mom replies, 'Never mind what you think! Eat your lunch and go back to school ' After school, Johnny comes home and asks again, 'Are Fred and Larry up yet?' His mom says, 'No.' He asks, 'Do you know what I think?' His mom replies, 'OK, now tell me what you think.' He says: 'Last night Fred came to my room for the Vaseline and I think...... I gave him my airplane glue.'

An Irishman goes to the vets and says "my Goldfish has got epilepsy" The vet looks at the fish and says "it looks calm enough to me" Paddy says " I haven't taken it out of the bowl yet"

Move this to ''Kenny the Rooster'' You gotta be kidding Any of the 2 strokes need plenty of Care, Attention and Spanners (I have had and ridden them) and yes they will be fine, but to say the Mont can't be better........................Ok Would I sell or get rid of mine, NO!!! 2006 bought new ridden 2 x SSDT's most Nationals and most weekends and spent nothing on it apart from general running parts, yes its heavy, but hell so am I, would I ride a 2 stroke better, maybe, would I want to NO? Cost since 2006 spread over the years is way less than buying, selling and replacing parts on a 2 stroke...........Fact Caroline and Martin will be missed in the SSDT Parc Ferme, but Caroline has said she will be there or stuck on the side of Ben Nevis?? All the importers do a fantastic job up there and work long hours during the event, but come on Caroline ''Easy Life'' or what? every day nowt up with the bikes as they are too reliable so no major spannering = No stress, few time cards to work out and coffe to drink but it still won't be the same. Viva Montesa

1975 he was on a Suzuki in the SSDT

1973.........29th OSSA 250 1974.........23rd Quinn OSSA 250 He then went to Suzuki

Hmmm! sure he would like to, but I am sure Ossa would put pressure on him to off load the Scorpa Importership to cocerntarte on pushing the Ossa? Rathmels went from Aprilia > Scorpa > Sherco if it was viable then surely they would have kept the last two.

Some ''Wheelie'' good advice

Get yourself a front tube ordered from the link below Thick Tube I promise you it will not puncture have used one every year and recommended to loads of people? Carry ''Turds'' for the rear and your sorted........no tube to carry

Minimal it is saving itself for the first week in May.........so bring your Wellies

Just got back from doing the ride through Wooton Bassett and it was some spectacle, We got there at 1130Hrs and I reckon there was about 8-10,000 there already, never seen so many bikes in one place. The people of the town were very supportive and all the houses along the route had their Union Jacks flying. Certainly made me proud to be British
