Every year there’s more “legends” turning up on a tricked up “new” pre65 to have a go at winning a trophy in the highlands! These pot hunters turn out once a year plus the odd practice for this event and then go back to their modern bikes. It will spoil it and the need to take marks of these “Winners” will eventually drive the stalwarts away and when they’re gone do you think the “new legends” will care about pre65 trials? Anyway, a great call 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, a great call Agreed, but some of the old "stalwarts" couldn't even get on the reserve list. All academic now for this year, though if entries carry forward to next year, the ones who missed the cut will be doubly fcuked !

v1nn1e Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 And it was my first visit! Still thinking of going up but I'll tour distilleries instead - I doubt any Coronavirus could live with that much alcohol around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fair and give the Majority of people who actually support Pre65 a chance to enjoy this fantastic event. Unfortunately, the young nearly man who wants a prestigious trophy will always get an entry on their trick new bike. Then there’s the people who pay in various ways to get a ride and their “friends” Previous winners etc Just the poor boys that support the sport week in week out that actually go to the ballot The Stalwarts that didn’t get in this year will have to wait until 2022 to be disappointed again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, a great call Think that's abit harsh isn't it not all young riders wanting to ride pre65 are pot hunters some of us enjoy building bikes and using them not just buying a kit of parts or a drayton and why should it always be the same riders that get an entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
