  1. Yes and last one away at about 10.05. If you've not been before, buy a programme and I'd recommend watching at the start and if nowhere else,Surrender which has a great atmosphere.

     

    Looks like it could be a fast year, moors are pretty dry?

  2. As stated elsewhere, well worthy of a new topic!

    Many congratulations on his BTC success. Is he the next British champ? Dibs not getting any younger, Brown very unfortunately injured. Might need to be quick before Toby Martyn gets going.

  3. Some great rides yesterday including Jack Price and Billy Bolt going round on 4 marks on their early day riding 125s in their first ssdt.

    Joe Baker and James Fry take the biscuit however.

    Now where was that thread debating whether you need a 300 or not?? 

     

    This year just has the feeling of the next generation starting to make inroads into the old guard.

  4. Spanish rider Jorge Casales who won todays event awesome riding, Dib's second

     

    Three winners over four events. Looks like the BTC may be a little more interesting this year. Also signs of a change with the younger riders such as Billy Bolt moving up a bit 

  5. same applies to all brands, hence grey imports, but is your spanish good enough to order a kick start (et al) return spring?

    muelle de retorno kickstart should do it No?

    I wouldn't be thinking of dealing with Spain direct although it's possible. Intention would be to deal with my local dealer who would have online access to a parts catalogue and hold a small stock of parts like most do now.

  6. Lordy. I credited the TC massive with the brainpower to make an informed decision as to whether it may or may not be a good idea to respond.

    If we just bury our heads and just ignore stuff like that we may as well save time and take up wild flower collecting.

  7. EVIDENCE SOUGHT ON GREEN LANES

    The CLA in the North is asking to hear from members with experience of vehicles, such as 4x4s and motorbikes, using green lanes as the Government sets up a new working group to look at the issue.

    The Green Lanes Environmental Action Movement (GLEAM), which is expected to be represented on this group, is seeking information about problems in as many areas of the country as possible to convince both the Government and potential allies on the group about the seriousness of the issue.

    If you have any examples of problems with green lanes, please email xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.org.uk and we will pass this on to GLEAM.

    Please send:

    · Digital photos (with dates) of problem green lanes showing the nature of the problem, e.g. damage, limited width, poor visibility etc. Please identify the green lane by providing grid references for its start and its end, and the name of the county, unitary or National Park authority where it is. Please also include the two grid letters (identifying the 100km grid square) found on the diagram on Ordnance Survey maps, and the name of the lane if it has one. The route should be one that has current or recent (within the past five years) problems with off-roading. Although if you have older photos to show what a currently damaged route looked like before it was damaged, these would be useful to compare with your current ones.

    · Identification of green lanes or areas where there used to be problems, but they have been resolved, and how they were resolved. For example, by police activity (including use of Section 59 Police Reform Act 2002), by traffic regulation order, by reclassification as Restricted Byways, or by NERC Act 2006. Please also let us know the nature of the resolved problem, the grid references of the lane or name of the area, and the local authority.

    DO NOT CONTACT THESE PEOPLE - SEE BELOW!

  8. As has already been mentioned whether GG are market leaders or not if they aren't turning a net profit over a period of time the music will stop.

    Maybe best we can hope for is for an administration that allows a Phoenix co to start afresh on a much smaller and sustainable scale. Can't be good for JST and their planning as a business particularly since the Enduro line was removed from them. Can't be a relationship between GG and JST of100% sweetness and light already can it?
