there was a steep slope dropping down into the river at bayford woods. It was a bit muddy so I just rolled in (off the brakes). Came in a bit fast, front wheel locks in the sand I get thrown over the bars head first into the cold water.
Not very nice riding a cold trial in the middle of december after going for a swim
Reminds me of Michael Tye of Oban, flipped the bike in a steep burn, ended up on his back in the burn with the bike on top, water flowing in through the waist of his jacket and spouting out the neck.
Its a good sized tank, 20 - 30 miles. But will vary dramatically depending on what gears/speed your doing. Camping shops sell Sigg metal bottles specifically for carring fuel for petrol stoves etc.
I gather you're a purist, thats fine. I'm just wondering if there are alternatives to spending close to $400 on a pair of boots. I have spent allot of $$$'s on gear over the years and I don't mind doing so if its the 'only' way to go or even if its the optimum way to go. I don't mind at all trying to save a few bucks either. I wouldn't know if I didn't ask.
Thanks,

A large proportion of injuries are to the lower leg, hence my comments. I would never ride with these, I never ride without my plastic shin / knee protectors either.
Has anyone tried the 'shorty' boots that are around? I've got sticker shock when it comes to the trials specific boots that are available. I don't want to spend money twice but, wowzers, true trials boots are pricey.
Quiter simple really. You are only asked to pick your number twice but the number groups change each time so the system can easily work out which number you've picked. If you record all the numbers in your first choice colour group you will see none of them appear along side your number in the second choice.
You had to spoil it didn't you, I thought it was majic.
If it sat for a while you can get light rust on the cam for the points. When you do try to start it this quickly wears the heel of the points and puts your timing out. Try new points and stick a condensor and plug on at the same time. How healthy a spark do you get when you kick it over ?
Consultants, those trained in the art of supplying you with solutions to problems you never had! Real experts in your field!
Most industry has been *******ized enough by the so called experts! What about the surveyors, they want to do a survey and report!
Make all your clients HAPPY! What about those you cannot!
In the real world, there are about 10% of your customers that take up about 50% of your time and production! These people need to get a reality check!
Like Leaches, they will suck you dry, all for their own profit or benifit, and they do not care. Think someone owes them something!
Add the government compliance issues to individual business and industry!
How anyone survives without telling the lot to p*** off is a mystery to me!
Add a top heavy management that has nothing to do but bust your balls in an effort to make things look as though they are doing something! Mostly overpaid, accounting, numbers their specialty! The remnants of things already past! Yet they hold so dear! While few have foresight, and fewer have insight and enough intelligence or common sense to do anything!
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance). Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much **** (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of **** it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough ****, please bring to the attention of your Supervisor. They have been trained to give you all the **** you can handle!
Aye, you see! A right tite sscootsman can run that crap as premix as well! Actually, the uused stuff from the local garage works better for the premix, as t'is, it always partially burnt already, all you have to do is finish it off! Does samoke a bit, but not a problem less you are the one behind in the que!
Ye can puut the crapin ye furks tou! They dun't care!, Oil ye'r friggin chain with the remains, so ye'r recyclin crap!
Yeu caneven yews it to spank the monkey if you like, has better lluubricating properties!
