Sure do and what a machine soon it will be going round the roads of he Fort William area Seen that link on a BMW GS website and very funny The ultimate machine! Mine in the front my brothers behind at the top of the Col de Touremelet !! 2700m above sea level famous for one hill used in the past years of the Tour de France. Hard enough on the BMW boy these guys are really fit and you want to see them going down the other side on those thin tyres

The first timers will be going to the PortaLoo first thing Monday morning, they may be a long time in there not only because they are Papping it, but it does take a long time to get out of their Hebo one piece suit On stepping out they may see you dressed like you are going on a fishing trip with your Gortex trousers, and long Gortex walking jacket, but we know better as sunshine in Fort William means nothing later in the day!

Been nice knowing you Perce and your valuable input on the forums.............................You may be banned and thrown out by Penelope Pitstop! Oops sorry couldn't resist

Do I remember 1983, I was in the Army and been on some pretty grim excersise areas, but I was thrust into the SSDT as part of the Army Team for my Baptism No Gortex back then, we set off in the morning already soaked to the skin, but boy did I look the Kiddie in my new Ellgren Gear and new boots!! and the Inveroran Hotel, most people down to their 'Undercrackers, trying to dry off in front of the open fire As for the Lunch Check I may not be riding, so I could actually spend all day there........NOT just 15 Minutes

Intersting comment, indoor trials=indoor sections, outdoor trials=outdoor sections So why is it essential to have indoor type man made sections in outdoor trials?

You wish Mark, I may have a few pub lunches though

Big John will be on here and he will tell you all about it........... Make, model, frame no., engine no., who owned it from new, how many trials it has done, what oil is in the gearbox, what 2-stroke oil is in the tank, how many links in the chain, teeth on the front and back sprocket and a whole load more Just be patient the Bulto God will rise with the answers

Expalanation by HL on the SSDT forums, basically they will not let you know the routes too early because you get the idiots going to practice on parts of the route thinking this is alright before the event, these are normally people that are not even riding the event Sure this will come up closer to the event, but any of you that are thinking about taking your off road bike to get quicker and closer to the action DON'T DO IT..................... The trial can only continue through close co-operation with the land owners to allow the competitors, course markers and some observers to ride on their land, but you watch some a***holes still do it............... Can anyone translate this to Spanish they seem to think it is ok to follow their competitors around on the Pre 65

Don't sit on the fence, just say it how you mean it.....................................................long overdue by the way

The picture of Wiggy on top of the wall is a cracking photo think that boy may come good?

Well done Pat and the US contingent makes the long haul over to Europe all worth it when you get on top of the podium. And well done to the Brits..................3 riders in the top four in the Championship Class, looks good for the Brits in the future of the WTC....

While on his morning walk, Prime Minister Gordon Brown falls over, has a heart attack and dies because the accident and emergency dept at his nearest hospital is too understaffed to treat him in time. So his soul arrives in Heaven and he is met by Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. 'Welcome to Heaven,' says Saint Peter, 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a Socialist around these parts, so we're not sure what to do with you.' 'No problem, just let me in; I'm a good Christian; I'm a believer,' says the PM. 'I'd like to just let you in, but I have orders from God Himself. He says that since the implementation of his new HEAVEN CHOICES policy, you have to spend one day in Hell and one day in Heaven. Then you must choose where you'll live for eternity.' 'But I've already made up my mind. I want to be in Heaven,' replies Brown. 'I'm sorry .. But we have our rules,' Peter interjects. And, with that, St. Peter escorts him to an elevator and he goes down, down, down ..all the way to Hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a lush golf course. The sun is shining in a cloudless sky. The temperature is a perfect 22C degrees. In the distance is a beautiful club-house. Standing in front of it is Harold Wilson and thousands of other Socialist luminaries who had helped him out over the years --- John Smith, Michael Foot, Jim Callaghan, etc. The whole of the Labour Party leaders were there .. Everyone laughing, happy, and casually but expensively dressed. They run to greet him, to hug him and to reminisce about the good times they had getting rich at the expense of 'suckers and peasants.' They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster and caviar. The Devil himself comes up to Brown with a frosty drink, 'Have a tequila and relax, Gord!''Uh, I can't drink anymore, I took a pledge,' says Brown, dejectedly. 'This is Hell, son. You can drink and eat all you want and not worry and it just gets better from there!' Brown takes the drink and finds himself liking the Devil, who he thinks is a really very friendly bloke who tells funny jokes like himself and pulls hilarious nasty pranks, kind of like the ones the Labour Party pulled with the European Constitution and the Education, Immigration, Tough on Crime promises. They are having such a great time that, before he realises it, it's time to go. Everyone gives him a big hug and waves as Brown steps on the elevator and heads upward. When the elevator door reopens, he is in Heaven again and Saint Peter is waiting for him. 'Now it's time to visit Heaven,' the old man says, opening the gate. So for 24 hours Brown is made to hang out with a bunch of honest, good-natured people who enjoy each other's company, talk about things other than money and treat each other decently. Not a nasty prank or short-a*** joke among them. No fancy country clubs here and, while the food tastes great, it's not caviar or lobster. And these people are all poor. He doesn't see anybody he knows and he isn't even treated like someone special! 'Whoa,' he says uncomfortably to himself. 'Harold Wilson never prepared me for this!' The day done, Saint Peter returns and says, 'Well, you've spent a day in Hell and a day in Heaven. Now choose where you want to live for Eternity.' With the 'Deal or No Deal' theme playing softly in the background, Brown reflects for a minute ... Then answers: 'Well, I would never have thought I'd say this -- I mean, Heaven has been delightful and all -- but I really think I belong in Hell with my friends.' So Saint Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down, all the way to Hell. The doors of the elevator open and he is in the middle of a barren scorched earth covered with garbage and toxic industrial wasteland, looking a bit like the eroded, rabbit and fox affected Australian outback, but worse and more desolate. He is horrified to see all of his friends, dressed in rags and chained together, picking up the roadside rubbish and putting it into black plastic bags. They are groaning and moaning in pain, faces and hands black with grime. The Devil comes over to Brown and puts an arm around his shoulder.' I don't understand,' stammers a shocked Brown, 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a club-house and we ate lobster and caviar and drank tequila. We lazed around and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and everybody looks miserable!' The Devil looks at him, smiles slyly and purrs............. 'Yesterday we were campaigning; today you voted for us!'

You organise the weather you find it hard enough to predict it .........................by the way never like it too hot the first week in May as I de-hydrate, but this year hot and sunny as you like PLEASE !!!

Suppose it depends on what you put on your chain after you wash your bike, because it could be the same stuff you are trying to get off after your days trialing. What I mean is I am not a lover of any of the branded chain lubes as they tend to be greasy and tacky and do the job of sticking to the chain nicely! that means that all the mud and dirt sticks to your chain nicely too so it can be more than hard work to get your chain clean. I have used WD40 for years now with no real problem and no excesive chain/sprocket wear the advantage of this is the chain is really easy to clean and once the bike is washed blow the links out with an air gun and use the WSD40. I use a Renthal R1 chain too best heavy duty non 'o' ring chain on the market in my opinion.....................

The guy second from the left as he is wearing glases like Wally The kid on the shoulders of his dad at the back isn't too happy as last time he did that his old man dropped so ''it was on with the crash hat''

Too much carbon to break for me, have you got a spare rear mudguard in case it snaps All that money spent and I have chucked better rear tyres than that away????

GasGasben I would advise that you remove the telephone number and the mention of the company before the moderators do, as mention or advertising of this company has been banned.................

Heard on the news this evening regarding members of H.M Forces that visit schools to talk to the children should STOP! as they think this is a recruiting campaign Are they going to stop the Policeman, Fireman or any other profession visiting schools as this to might be considerd a recruiting campaign................ Hard as it may seem, but being a member of H.M Forces is a JOB pitty the ''Do Gooders'' can't see this, but they would be the first to cry for help if a situation arises. Rant Over

I had a problem insuring my 2-stroke Scorpa back in 2003, insured it as a Yamaha 250! in the end not exactly correct, but that what it says on the engine casings!!!

You worried about getting lost in Scotland and having the P**s taken out of you instead of 'K'.....................you know to hang a left into ''Pipers'' so you don't have to worry

True, but the old one may have come out better on the test

Have we got a year yet because if it was '79 then doubt it would be John Boy as I am sure his first ride was circa 1982, sure he would be too young in '79???
