Likewise never knock what you don't know. My old granpa tried to get me to join three times before he passed away but I never bit, the miserable old git doesn't even bother trying. An army half colonel mate of mine tried to persuade me a few years ago as well but no dice.
Think religion and stuff like that should be personal, don't ram your views down someone elses throat and all that. Couldn't handle the brainwashing at an early age south west of Glasgow, get a kicking based on the school you go to or the wendyball team you support, great joke - not. A quote I got from another army man "don't mind what beliefs people have just don't bring me bad people" kind of apt in this day and age really...
Masonic lodges! You'll be spouting off about "Knights of St. Columba" next. You don't believe all that tosh do you Slapshot?
Big John
You're kidding, not believe it...I've nearly been excommunicated from the Young Family cos I'm the first in 8 generations who has not joined the funny handshake boys....Did try the Knights just to be awkward but my Blue and Orange sash gave the game away......We've a park near here called Templars if that's any use
Seriously no, but membership of the lodge goes back a long way in the Young clan, it's never been a big issue (cept with my old Granpa) but I'll stick to my own beliefs
I suppose our very own Ubergeek needs something semi normal to do so I'll go for the Corgi Car Collection (ties up with the scoob, I suppose, definately can't be modding the scoob, two big TC stickers don't count) though have to say the vintage wine s caught my eye...
for me trials riding at all levels need to get back to man and machine against the terrain, I would like to see raga set off in a world championship with just a bumbag! it would make it more of a leval playing field instead of the best riders having the best bikes, most minders,best back-up, get to start at the back of the entry etc.
Make it fair and im sure more riders would fancy a go.
Lets get back to it been a mans spot (phillipe berlatiere, Rob Crawford, Bruno Cammozzi they didnt need a man to hold there coat, a man to do the tyre presure, a man to but the kicker in etc)
At the moment on Eurosport it just looks like 8 young boys and Dougie riding round in lyrca suits surrounded by people shouting at them!!
I bet the perverts are loving it!
Crosser
Why can't wtc organisers have more common sense like Crosser, Man and Machine against the terrain, perfect.
Loads of years ago when we had a wtc round in Glen Nevis, Steve Suanders retired, he appeared at the side of the big marquee on his mountain bike to watch the end of the proceedings, asked him why. Too hard was the response.
However, what this said to me and my reply to Steve was this: this is the stuff that connect trials riders whether you are a fat aging git like myself who struggles to get the bike off the rack never mind ride a trial or "immortal" like Steve. We can all have a day when it gets too hard, we can have days when the last thing we want to do is hit that chuffing big step on the last lap, cos you're knackered and know you're more likely to end up at the bottom than the top, chuff it and put the bike back on the trailer. You don't disrespect a rider of Steve's calibre for that level of honesty
Whatever level you ride at you have a scrap with the terrain, we have to do it on our own why can't the good guys. they chuck their leg over a bike the same as us, they're just a bit better at it...respect the good guys but how much more would we respect them if the WTC was like Crosser suggests, and how many has he ridden in his career, think he might know
This is turning into you show me yours and I will show you mine.
If there is someone who you would like to mess with go to their computer and take an image of the desktop, then hid all their icons under just one icon then set the desktop image (which includes the now hidden icons) as their desktop image and let them work out why nothing on their compter now works. Make sure you also minimise the Task Bar.
Thats nasty.... I Like it!!!
Some ubernerd in here has a way taking a screen dump of the desktop and putting it in front of everything else. The screams of frustration are great, especially if it's a particularly irritating forecaster you catch...
Not you Slapshot?
I would never be associated with a cunning wheeze to upset my allegedly superior and more esteemed colleagues in here, well not till I had a Large Latte in the morning

Bit of choke, ONE kick, on 70:1 with Silky 2t.....piece of pi$$...though not in with the petrol obviously.
Seriously when I got it I put a new plug in and blew through the carb before I kicked it over cos the guy I got it from had problems too. ....maybe it's weight behind the kick....
like the new avatar Barry, (ps she won't let me buy superflous spares........sorry mate)
I have a minor ( ) dimensional issue myself and have found the back boingy bits on mine cope fairly well. Granted it a little more recent Paioli shock but it might help...
I moved the spring back to it's fullest extent then tightened the spring down 10 turns to get the preload okay the adjusted the brass screw to a stiffer setting..seems to work
PS don't listen to R2, look at the "that's buggered that" thread you'll se why
I've seen loads of piccys of the trial but none of the night of debauchery at the TC get together....
Where are they? Is Andy keeping them for bribery purposes, does R2W have a batch that he plans to bribe Andy with...... COME ON WHERE'S THE PICCYS BOYS
