Big John will be on Flybe booking his flights right now, whether Wee Jean lets him or not

Bike mania on Ice is better and FAR more infuriating, same link but change the number to 733

I was just about to reply the exact same thing! I was going to be less subtle and probably very rude

Just to round these comments off with the Forum Moderator hat on, no personal opinion. (if Andy delete's then so be it) We received a complaint from, I believe, a very much respected member of the US trials community regarding Lane's continual acccusations and personal attacks. Andy gave Lane chances to back his claims up and to answer the accusations. When Lane did not respond within in a generous timescale the Forum was removed. The Forum wasn't removed to stop the fun, banter and nonsense that marked Lane's World, just to remove the vehicle for the bulk of Lane's diatribe. Maybe M4RT, whoever he/she/it was/is needs to make a comeback just to stir folks up again Hope this helps.

It's nice to see Mike on here. A mate of mine went to the Tough One for the Enduro but after watching the Speed Trial he's keen for a crack at trials as well. Maybe that's a benefit of the tough one. What do English Rugby and safe sex have in common, both need a "Johnny" to score. Standard International season of fragile English Fly Half....... gg

across the country you can just sense the reserves getting twitchy.....

Great news on the frontpage about Alexz Link Congrats, the deal is well deserved and hopefully help him move to bigger and better things

That's a worrying thought Mark, thank god there's no mistaking the figure in the ebay add.... I notice no one has come forward to admit ownership....

Anyone got Dicko's email addy......... Congrats Andy, your work mate

Welcome to the TC forum boards Repsolypf, like the attitude. My 13yo daughter asked why I was so slow writing texts, took her a while to understand what I meant by the phrase "I only write in coherent sentences".

Not my first trial but out with my old man playing, years before I had a bike but I got a shot of his shiny new 340 Bultaco, (blue and white first of the proper bash plates, thing scared the cr@p out of me) anyway I was plootering about on this thing and I ran it into a fence....nearly 30 years ago, I still get ragged about it and I guess it's about to get worse......

...apart from that I'm 40, i don't understand it, I hate it. I get emails from some of the younger players in my team in text talk and it irritates the hell out of me, sent an email back to one of worst of them in Russian, took hours to create but it was worth the phone call 5 mins after I sent it......."what the hell was that all about"

I kind of got the Beta off ebay. put my honda up for sale but said I'd be interested in a swap, 6 hrs later had a rely and an offer. met the guy at Scotch Corner, did the deal. Nothing confirmed before hand but as folk go, trials riders are a fairly trustworthy bunch.

It might but Andy will be warming up his libel lawyers...

YUP!!!!! we'll always be first to respond, it's natural. We spend half our lives in here. Andy is probably right Rappers will get a few more fingers typing!!

Good Topic, Isn't this indicative of trials folk in general or life really, there are very few who are movers and shakers, a few more willing to put out to get things done but in general most are happy to sit back and let others get on with it. How many individuals take the time to lay out a trial, join a club comittee, do route marking, observe, offer to contribute. Same thing on here how many lurkers are there, I know my old man reads the boards, won't comment but he does his bit for the local club. He feels he contributes. Another preventative things is confidence. How many of the people who are Site Supporters (not enough yet stump up punters, it's the best 10 quid you'll spend all year...advertising on the boards, yeah i know but it's in a good cause ) or just forum members don't actually have the confidence to put their convictions or advice into "print". These boards are superb source of information, advice, banter etc more contributions more of the same.

Th run then was from pap of Glencoe to sections called Cairn then over the hill through the forest to Lagnaha. I think the club lost access to thata while ago. The tweaks and variation will make a nice few changes for people this year. Only minor issue I can see is that it gives Kinell two shots at heading for Mallaig ....

definately boots..I find thongs too cutting and uncomfortable and your feet would hurt on the footrests if all you wore was a thong

How to advertise your old boots..... Anyone willing to acknowledge ownership.....of either boots or model

Currently best looking is the new Beta Rev 4 but I ride Beta's so I'm biased Favourite ever: Post 34, RTL Honda Last of the RTL Works bikes (i think), long time ago now but still think the Pink Rtl's were the best looking trials bikes ever. (I have a soft spot for any of the Honda trials bikes, TL TLR RTL TLM etc etc ) Twin Shocks 340 Bultaco (old man had one, loved it despite the pain). Loved the Ossa Gripper, the big orange beggar Yellow 320 Majesty's were lovely as well Moffat's Matchless Sammy's Ariel and of course any BSA fan has to love OOH 760 PS I'm 40!!!!!!

Made your eyes go funny as well Chuff me, you could see that going down well on the BBC

Suprised it took you that long....first thoughts. Seriously K, Kid looks great on it.

Fantastic.....moves this website on yet another stage.

Now this is silly......women

The land was put up for sale and it only went through a few month ago. Don't think the club new whether they would get it back....good news if it is though
