apparently the incidence of this in the 80's was huge...

What about Toyah and Bananrama

Suggestive but very funny Link

Bloody hell, it's taken a while for that one to reach the Antipodes

Makes it look spooky.....not bad Mate a decent Canon would help of course....

Who wants to send David the Jamie Reid Interview for some hints.... BJ knows...

Two most recent posts deleted, I believe a very inappropriate and potentially threatening twist to the discussion regarding the Scottish Pre65 Trial. I believe we all want this trial to continue despite the differences of opinion people have regarding the ballot and it's outcome, bike eligibility etc therefore moving the discussion to where it was going I feel is underming the work the organisers do and the work of the SSDT as that was mention also. If either of the relevant forum members wish to discuss the reasons for deleting the posts further then please contact me by PM. All subsequent posts of a similar nature will be deleted on sight Slapshot 3 Forum Moderator

Paul...how you doin?? Hypothetical. So would you say that GOV132 was the start of it all??? What do you class as a replica, something built 30 years ago or something that's a constant work in progress? Lets not stop at Ariels? Lets go onto James', Cubs? We won't even bother going down the road of BSA's. ...because there are some that do want to ride original bike and they have to be catered for, you can't just throw them out because they are ancient. My favourite bikes over the last few years? Those amazing rigid 500 Nortons, Arthur Lamkin's ORIGINAL C15 that Chris Sutton rode a couple of years back and a certain Matchless....that's never changed, not as long as I can remember. The Ariels, jimmy's cubs and big Triumph twins are pretty to look at but they don't do it as much for me as some other. Your view. The Ballot: it's the rule, it won't change, I do not believe it's as farcical as most seem to be under the impression, the individuals involved that I know are too honest to be "on the fiddle" and I'll stand by that. Just my views

Post in Beta thread deleted, please don't make duplicate posts, this thread moved to a more suitable place forum Moderator Best response you'll get it to try as many different bikes as you can and narrow down from there. What suits us may not be what you're after. I ride a Beta and find it suits me better than anything else; try them all first

Aye..but sparticus is an Ayrshireman... who shouted at you Ross?? PS Leedb - watch for text talk please, not allowed some of us old farts don't understand it

....someday...... Donald..

Now my old man taught me this way ..... mind you, he was reading a book on te SS and their torture methods at the time.....

I'll continue to disagree with some of your sentiments but they are your views so I'll respect that. Two friends of mine have submitted entries for year and generally been successful in gaining an entry, this year that didn't happen. One is in the other is on the reverve list. The latter accepts the situation and always expects the worst when the result of the ballot comes out each year this time he was unlucky. He's not a superstar or a hugely known name outside Scotland but he puts and immense amount of time and effort into all bike sport, if he can't "fiddle" an entry each year maybe its reasonably fair after all..

You inferring something... Bike spotter Yes...trainspotter definately not

Couple more...... JP Derbi Parilla

I was after the irony Ross.... (Slapshot humbly apologises if anyone is in this unfortunate position - the joke was posted before I was aware of the situation)

Dunno yet Vinnie....as long it's a good run out I'll go anywhere, Happy New Year to you as well mate

Very true, it's a very mixed bag no point buying a bag of Liquorice Allsorts if all you want is the pink coconutty one. Who tick off the dodgy bikes in their programmes........ No comment - really though freezing cold, sleety showers at the top of Meall Na Chruadie last year notwithstanding, the Pre 65 seems to get a very fair share of good weather.

I remember (just!!) a girl at school who used to say that to blokes regularly.....

........especially forks....

A fact you hear complaints about year on year. Point is unless the committee of the trial guaranteed a number of entries from Scottish Riders they have to go to the ballot same as everyone else.....can you imagine how many more complaints this would bring for unhappy rider from other places.....
