  1. Prima donna sports star from south west Europe...... Raga Prima donna sprts star from south west Europe Ronaldo Spooky! Any others??
  2. Somalians - lovely people. I met a very talented one in The Crazy Horse bar in Geneva. Very good with languages - asked for "favours" in French, German, Russian (so I'm told), Dutch and English. NOT
  3. Are the TDN and Ladies champs dates right for IOM 27th Sept is a Thursday? (date shown on todotrial)
  4. Commercial property investment. This is one of ours - anyone know it apart from Kinell?
  5. Should be veeeery interesting between Dougie and Grimbo as I think the observation scores will be very similar so fastest man wins?? A single 5 or puncture cocks the job up totally. All Doug has to do is catch Jarvis up (4 mins 40 secs) and sit on his tail, watch lines etc. SIMPLE
  6. Yeah, like a classified section?

  8. First trial - thats the worst you'll ride. My first trial - didnt finish, second one I lost something like 160 marks and it was won on 9.

    I got in touch with these guys, but am still awaiting a response. Link
  10. Was there too and not having ridden since April noticed the increase in numbers of Monts. Was chatting to a bloke on a Repsol who is on his second RT. He rides the easy course and has had the engine turned right down to "clubmam" spec. Veeeeeeeery smooth and was gripping like a grippy thing in the woods. He loves it because it will still pull up big climbs etc but not firey off the bottom. Memo to self - build house before buying new bike!!
  11. I'll be spectating. Er, where is it exactly? Any route maps about - couldnt find any on the 2 day site.
  12. I dont see that trials folk would have a problem with this? Manchester Evening News Article
  13. Speeds shown here. Vidoe and another
  14. Oh yes. Veeeery nice people!
  15. Heath, is that Butser '84ish? Saunders won on a Fantic? It sure was wet toward the end of the day!
  16. He must be about 76 - he scored his first world championship points in 1984 when Lejeune, Schrieber etc were still about and some in Italy last weekend. My hat is off to him.
  17. Was there.... In truth I think the Portugese knew exactly waht they were doing - right from the start they needled Rooney and he's so thick that he just rises to it. We could and should have won it. I would actually like Germany to win it - they are hosting it fantastically well and the atmosphere in Dusseldorf on Friday night after they had beaten Argentina was something else. loads of nationalities all going for it........
  18. I agree with Atom - the bike doesnt seem to be that much of a disadvantage, but when it's made clear that the Japanese round was set up to help the Monts and they (Lampkin & Fuji) stil cant win then it doesnt look too good. I started the poll because I think it will be a very close run thing. I really hope he wins some more, but even if he does it wont be many. The top 5 still seem to be a long way ahead of the others, but Bou seems to be close to being very very good.
  19. Only 3 wins last year and mainly third or worse this year with an odd runner up position. Lets see.
  20. He seems to be close, but just not close enough....
  21. Why do all the top lads seem to practice in seperate trousers / shirts and compete in one piece? I think the jeans shirt combo looks much better.
