japes1275 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 What are the security arrangements (if any) for competitors machines in Kinlochleven? Is there somewhere they can be left overnight securely or is it just down to the individual to sort out at their accommodation? Not having a van I would have to use a trailer and that doesn't leave much in the way of security - for the bike or trailer for that matter! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japes1275 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Mmm, not what I was hoping to hear but probably what I thought would be the case. I suppose hiring a van is another option. Of course this is all theoretical, I'm not holding out much hope of getting an entry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collyolly Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Done the trial a few times and was always able to take my bike round the back and chain it to something substantial in the garden. I use a bike rack so the same problem as a trailer, it's always on show. In fact both B&Bs were surprised at my concern but then they don't come from London !

japes1275 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 You can never be too careful these days, events like the Pre65 could offer easy pickings for tea leaves, lots of easily stolen bikes and trailers around. I hate leaving my old bikes anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 What about when you go to look at a section ? The bike will be unattended for probably 15 mins while walking Pipeline for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie prescott Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi Guy's, Just bin watching A clip about George Howard Cole. Then I read this. Minder sprang to mind. Just fit a duel seat and take Dennis with you as security. Make the whole trial more feasible? Regards Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japes1275 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 No way am I walking up pipeline, just go for it and hope for the best! You wouldn't need another seat for Dennis, he'd fit in your pocket according to Little Britain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real heart in the mouth stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
