I got a solution? Turn the screw out 1/2 a turn it will solve your problem

A Muslim dies and finds himself before the Pearly Gates. He is very excited, as all his life he has longed to meet the Prophet Mohammed. Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, he meets a man with a beard, “Are you Mohammed?” he asks. “No, my son. I am Peter. Mohammed is further up.” And he points to a ladder that rises into the clouds. Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than Peter, he climbs the ladder in great strides, climbs through the clouds coming to a room where he meets another bearded man. He asks again, “Are you Mohammed?” “No, I am Moses. Mohammed is higher still.” Exhausted, but with a heart full of joy he continues to climb the ladder and, yet again, he discovers an even larger room where he meets another man with a beard. Full of hope, he asks again, “Are you Mohammed?” 'No, I am Jesus. You will find Mohammed higher up.” Mohammed higher than Jesus! The poor man can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs, ever higher. Once again he reaches a larger room where he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question: “Are you Mohammed?” he gasps as he is, by now, totally out of breath from all his climbing. “No, my son....I am God. But you look exhausted. Would you like a coffee?” “Yes, please, my Lord.” God looks behind him, claps his hands and calls out: “Hey Mohammed, two coffees!!!!”

Why? Because the Spaniards are filling the podium and it becomes the Spanish Championship? Well there weren't too many complaints when Doug was winning week in week out?

I am off to fettle in my garage this morning one of the jobs is to start all my 3 bikes that will be a Montesa and two BMW GSA's all of which have fuel injection? Will they start of course they will and run perfect! Will they run any better or as well on carburettors I have no idea! I leave that technology to Honda and BMW they know what they are doing and I am pretty sure they have made mistakes along the way!!

When your over 50 ''Muscle's'' are very over rated

Wrong thing to say in so many ways! Very stereotypical to assume that all clubs are run by OAP's and is far from the truth in reality? You find time to ride your bike outside your work and family life, so you must have some planning in place to take time off? I run a Charity in my spare time after 18 years in a job I have changed jobs which now allows me more of my spare time for my Charity, sometimes my friend it is about giving someting back so maybe find a bit of time go and help an OAP for a day or an evening?

I think Pete that is my point I do know? And I feel for the guys liike yourselves in New Zealand, Australia, America, Japan the list can go on, but although the cost for one rider and minder to travel from New Zealand to Europe is high then the maths to move the whole World circuit to a round in New Zealand with all the riders and minders etc. etc. is probably breaking the sport.Back when Martin won the World Championship the rounds were in Europe, due to the fact most riders who competed lived there and the cost would have been prohibitive to go to the places mentioned above yes the sport has changed, but the facts still remain the same here in 2015?

You are right Andy, but for a business to survive it has to be bigger than one person or Company so maybe it is up to the European factory's to take a stance and not turn up to Japan? How much money do Honda actually contribute to the running of the WTC series, I have no idea? Road Racing is huge with massive sponsors and an even bigger following and audience with every boy racer with his Rice Rocket on our roads wanting to be the next Rossi, hence the TV Company's wanting to broadcast it, even Mr Honda can see the value in that? Honda want to be World Champions in every discipline where a Honda motor is used whether that be motorcycling, power boat racing, car racing and if lawn mower racing was big enough they would probably want part of that too? As you said Andy us minions can't change it nor the dead wood involved running it at the moment?

So the start to 2015 and congratulations on Toni Bou on becoming the 2015 WTC again, Ok a tongue in cheek comment, but you wouldn't bet against him? So will there be a WTC in 2020 only 5 years away, but who would bet on that? Discussions have been on here for several years now and the sport of trials has changed so much, with the demise of riders, big factory trucks, demands of the media with IT infrastructure, etc. etc. and with so few riders in the top class is it viable anymore? You could argue that other motor sports have a selective entry in the top class with a support class making the event providing a stepping stone for the riders or drivers, but does this in reality work in trials and how many riders will we have in 2015 riding against Toni Bou? Realistically beyond the top 3 or 4 in the World to make money is difficult, so a lot of riders are self funding to compete at this level? For any organiser with the requirements that are needed there is no long queue to join to run a World Round? So here is my thought and by no means it is a solution, but this is a forum and open to discussion? Most of the riders are European with the exception of a few, yes nice to go to Japan and America, but as said outside the top 3 you are digging deep to fund this trip? So maybe we keep the WTC in Europe I do have a Globe and realise that the World is bigger, but it eliminates a huge cost, secondly all the European Countries can run there respective Championships, but allocate one of their rounds to be part of the WTC and strip away most of the crap that isn't needed? So the young riders if this was adopted can attend more if not all rounds and maybe we will get beyond 2020? Just a thought!

Spoke to JC at the NEC where he was doing the shows? Moving on to doing shows more or less full time, it is where he can make a living. He did tell me who he is working with, but as I have seen nothing on here or in the press watch this space?

Just strap it to your Wonka if it is too low take some Viagra after 1st lap??

Santa has been I will look forward to opening my "Socks" Merry Christmas

I rode near near Stig that year he kept me going on boiled sweets? Great guy.

Hey I was kidding don't be so touchy?I am from the county of God well at least that is what Google says! Bet you Google it? Now you say Scotland is Home of Trials well when I Google that I end up back here??

I would leave doing the work Scotland may try for independence again and rename their Country? Any suggestions what the new Country would be called?

I think in two years time he will add his two thumbs to that photo, then after that he won't be hanging his boots up he will be taking them off to count some more!!!

Bloody hell Dabster vs. dadof2 now atomant vs. turbo never mind I'm a Celebrity reckon TC will be doing JK?

Would you be making money out of that then? If so people have got banned from TC using the forum to sell their products and services? Just saying like

Bloody hell 1shy things have changed a lot since you last visited Bikes have a single shock Water cooled Disc brakes And weigh less than a Bulto back wheel Dougie ain't the current World Champion We have had no stop, stop, no stop but if you stop and Spanish you can get away with it? World Championship has less than 15 riders so there is hope for you yet! The jobs knackered but lots on here that have ideas how to fix it? Lots more has happened but it'll take a long time to read?
