nigel dabster Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Whats the best result for the 4rt so far? Now James Lampkin has chosen the beta to ride rather than the montesa to mind is there anyone any good left on one? Who are Sandifords sponsoring and how did they do at the first national of the year the Vic Britton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Ben Hemmingway won Bradford's Boxing Day Trial on his new Mont 4 banger. And before you say "that's not a National" please remember which club marked it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are Sandifords sponsoring and how did they do at the first national of the year the Vic Britton? blimming eek, the bikes only been in the country 5 minutes - theres so few of-em in the country you could most probably transport the whole lot to one trial in one transit van; and bearing in mind most riders buying them have never ridden a 4-stroke let alone a modern one, would it be fair to say "give it a bit more time?"

perce Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 But bear in mind the first ones to get the bikes are the 'works' riders you would expect a 'works' challenge for the first National Trial of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 My time clock is all up the spout so don't mention time but since when is 5 minutes six weeks? No 4rt's at the Knut either was there. Seriously does Sandifords sponsor anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) My time clock is all up the spout so don't mention time but since when is 5 minutes six weeks?No 4rt's at the Knut either was there. Seriously does Sandifords sponsor anyone? assuming these top riders got their Mont's six weeks ago - unless they're practising 7 days a week then an obvious guess is they're still learning and playing with the new technology. 6 weeks is not a long time, well not for those who are not demanding results.

trialsurfer Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Ouch!! The level of bitterness is amazing! (PS) How is the other 4 Stroke finishing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsunt Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 3RD IN SCOTT TRIAL, 1ST BRADFORD CENTRE TRIAL, 1ST BRADFORD BOXING DAY TRIAL, 2ND RICHMOND BOXING DAY TRIAL, 2ND WETHERBY BOTTLE TRIAL, 6 4RT'S IN TOP 10 AT Y&G'S CHRISTMAS TRIAL, 1ST AT ILKLEY WORLD ROUND. THATS ONLY MENTIONING THE HARD COURSE, WITH COUNTLESS CLUBMAN VICTORIES, I'M GOING TO STICK MY NECK OUT TO SAY ITS PROBABLY BEEN THE MOST SUCESSFUL BIKE OVER THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD. I HAVE BEEN CLOSER TO MR. THORPE AND MR. DABILL THAN I HAVE EVER BEEN, AND I STILL DONT KNOW HOW TO RIDE THE BIKE 100% SO THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. AWAITING CRITISISM!

perce Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 All very true John but I think what Dabster is trying to point out is why as a Sandifords sponsored rider were you not at a round of a British Championship event in which you are eligable to score points?

jrsunt Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 because there was a better trial on, i'm not told what i have to ride. If they wanted me to ride then i would have. The novagar championship does not really intrest me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The novagar championship does not really intrest me. I wonder if Sandifords would sponsor me then Surely I would have thought it's part of the deal (being told what event to ride) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
