  1. I think thats spot on Marky Boy. i remember when they turned up at the SSDT there was a huge issue with them, my dad's mate was the steward and they had all sorts of deliberations before they were allowed to pass scrutineering. Yes plastic discs but at that time no-one had seen them on a trials bike, very quaint.... Nice bikes to look at though and yes the exhaust; a work of art
  2. Topic Moved: More likely to get a few direct responses in here BeastyUK Cheers Forum Mod
  3. Why did I expect to see a sheep......
  4. first in the Alex bar looking for someone to buy him a pint.......
  5. Gorgeous, circa 1986,those wheels didn't half cause probs when they arrived at the Scottish
  6. Saint who....... Mrs Slapshot can't see this thankfully, I'd get slapped....
  7. Scores not there yet but from the Championship Standings...they are now Bou 5 (chuffin hell, 1 mark final lap) Raga 8 Fuji 14 (23 cleans) Doug 14 (22 cleans) Frexia 35 Dibs 37 Shaun Morris 10th 72 Junior Brown 14 Gubian 18 Wiggy 20 Gontard 35 Sampson 41 Youth listings aready in the thread, but to complete. Gomez 20 Danby 24 Smage 29 Robert Andrews 56 (6th) Great stuff again from the Brit boys
  8. Kinell Cruel, very cruel......even K can't get that lost
  9. You wonder why Dallas want to finish Calgary off in Dallas............. So they don't have to drink beer made from yellow snow? Would be real difficult as it's detroit that Calgary are playing,.......idiot
  10. Talking to yourself again Ian I would echo those sentiments, it is a truly remarkable feat but I think he is showing us he is a pretty remarkable young rider. I think we could see something special when he comes to terms with the 300 Gasser, realistically though we'll get the best guide when Mr Honda goes knocking on the door. Agreed, very well done Alexz
  11. Final Bou 21 Fuji 27 Raga 34 Doug 42 jun Wiggy 35 Gontard 50 Browny 51 Yth Gomez 28 Danby 37 Smage 49 Anyone who had any doubts about Wiggy's pure class, read the above and have a damn good think about life's realities, Well done all the Brit boys. Dibs ended up 8th and Shaun 14th in the WTC, Lee 5th in the Juniors and Robert Andrews 5th in the Youths.
  12. seem to have heard you say that before somewhere.....
  13. You wonder why Dallas want to finish Calgary off in Dallas.............
  14. Clarification... Stats could refer to Aberdeen CITY rather than Aberdeenshire, two different places mate. Any figures for Grampian would be skewed if the city and shire are taken together. Highest crime rate out here in the shire refers to Sheep sha&&ing That'll be the sexual offences....
  15. To avoid shutter lag realistically it's SLR time, however even something like the Nikon D40 or Canon 400 which are tiny would still be quite bulky to carry in a trial. I don't use "point and press" Digital cameras for the simple reason of shutter lag, I couldn't suggest anything
  16. Could have been but didn't they the offer him money to race these extreme enduros etc?? maybe a combination of factors
  17. Baaahhhhh...Yorkshire genealogy. Still look at it this way, you could commit murder if you don't like the mother in law and make a fair curry out of her...indegestion is short lived
  18. I'd suggest that he'd easily take top tens with the possibility of pulling a lower placing from time to time, 7th, 8th thereabouts, however lets be honest he wouldn't pull top 5 places anymore. Factor in that Graham chose to step out and look at other things, respect for that, he chose his path.
  19. I've started playing about with panning and following the rider rather than focusing on where I want to take the shot and waiting for them to fill the frame. I'm getting some decent results from it. Problem is the buggers take off so fast for jumps like that. As far as the drinking goes, I was up, out of my tent (TC mobile HQ!) and had the water on the boil for my coffee before any of the rest of our motley crew had even surfaced. Tried some panning in the ice rink for some good shots and at scrambles not massivley successful but hjave a few goodies. ....and we've only your word for that.....
  20. nice, eye was in today even after all that drink last night.......
  21. ....and the end point of this cataclysmic warming...the next ICE AGE....go figure..
  22. The whole of society is a contradiction these days, no two pepole have the same opinion, no two universities will tell you they found the same results in their research because the'll lose their individual research grants and have to get a proper job instead. The food industry will tell you one thing is bad in the hope you'll buy their products instead, everyone has an angle and they'll look for their minute of fame if they have a net gain. It's not just the medical profession it's everywhere, take mine, the constant argument about global warming is it real is it hype, why are programms that go the "whole way" explain the potential full net effect of global warming are decried because the whole media is hyping the warming effects. It's pure hype nothing else. Piccy below is the latest impacts advice from the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change), this release is pure hypothesis but already the media are jumping on it.... The coffee stuff, well I enjoy a cup or two but not addicted, though if you add some vanilla syrup everytime I could think about it.... As far as the advice Billy has been giving on here, I've started (subconciously) doing some of what he said, ask me in a few weeks I'll tell you how i feel.
  23. heard nothing yet - wish they'd get their finger out and post them though - i'm sure the've nothing better to do. ps Sundays route is not going to be quite that simple Gizza - i hear it will involve some compulsory formation riding. Is that everyone Mark or just the WOFTAM's Dunno but I sure hope Gizza isn't the one sat on top. mind you it could be a lot worse........I could be at the top (say it myself before any of you shower get the chance)
