Andy Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 There's been over 200 downloads of the Regs so far, but I'm doing no real tracking on this other than the download count. We know already we're going to get more than enough of a turnout to justify running the Trial, but would like a more accurate view so we can organise things properly - enough portaloos etc. Bradford, as the organising Club, have said that they will not cash entry cheques until the event so there's no reason those entries can't come in. Remember - there's some great prizes up for grabs, but those who enter on the day will NOT be eligible for them. As a further incentive to get those entries in early, all those who get them in between now and 7th April will be entered into a draw and the winner will get a Trials Central embroidered Polo Shirt. Although these shirts are not yet public, there is already big demand for them and initial stocks are limited. This is your chance to pick up a freebie that is worth more than your entry fee so get those entries in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinky boots Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 but would like a more accurate view... There'll definately be two of us along again - and maybe more (will depend on something called 'work' - never heard of it myself but apparently its a big thing these days... ) I just need to get my a*** in gear and download the regs....

boofont Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Only thing that is stopping me from commiting at this stage is the distance, it's a long way thats for sure!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Well guys I am seriously tempted to ride, problem is I haven't riden a Trial in 6 years. Oh and I don't have a bike to ride yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big chick Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Steve Get yourself a bike. Was "born again" after nearly 15 years an loving every minute. the bruises fade after a week or so as well. Could not believe how easy a modern bike is to ride after my faithfull 348.

stuessenhigh Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Was nearly 15 years out for me too Steve.....go on...get a bike...and (if you can)..get the most modern one possible. I've got an 02 Rev 3...and it feels MUCH easier to ride than the bikes I rode when I was a kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Its looking good for me! There's a trial being held at Commondale, SE of Gusibourgh, on sat 29th May that I'm going to (any one else fancy it?). Ride that, travel the short distance to the TC trial, have a few beers then ride the trial the next day. To quote Martin Lampkin... "Perfect!"

stuessenhigh Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Oh..and Steve... IF you DO get a bike...especially after a bit of time off, why dont you try and book a lesson. Seems like there are plenty available now...not sure if it was that easy years ago. I did one with Dougie Lampkin last year and it was VERY good....and I WATCHED one of Steve Saunders schools and that was VERY good too!! GO ON.....get a bike...and book a lesson.

hrc2002 Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 After some serious persuasion and a*** kissing (not litrally) I finally managed to get my dad to make the long, long trek up to Yorkshire! I will be bringing a mate along also (under Liam on here) he doesn't ride, but nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Ok so the bike is still in 100 pieces and no sign of any spares yet but I have downloaded the regs and will send them off shortly. Problem is what route / class do I ride? Stuart, how hard will the 'hard' route be ? Will it be possible with a twinshock? Does an expert get downgraded to inter or novice after a period of time ? Nigel, are you riding, if so what class/route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartc Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Steve, ride the easier route on a shocker, you will enjoy it better, I dont envisage the HARD route being too hard really, however the emphasis is on FUN, and meeting folk from acroos the UK. Be glad to see you there, introduce thi sen. Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdmc Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 STOP PRESS . The President of the Bradford Club has purchasesd a new nightie with her first weeks pension. (see WWW.bradfordtrials.co.uk) Up to press there will only be 5 competitors who she can show it to. (Ron is a bit peefed because it looks better on her than him) Where are all the entries going to because they aint coming to the event secretary. There are plenty of post on this forum stating that they are coming. Lets start seeing a few envelopes through the door with entry forms? Dont let Andy down, he has put a lot of effort into arranging the trial and obtaining many awards from the trials scene. Remember to be part of it you have to enter. Trialscentral.com along with Bradford & District MC look forward to recieving your entry ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 With 300-plus downloads, it's just folk not wanting to part wi t'brass till necessary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 OK all you TC members ....and guests...heres my lecture!!! Remember you are all very lucky to have the trials scene in UK that you do. Of course its my choice to live away...but I am very envious of your scene there. In a time when its getting harder to find places to ride and harder to find people to organise things for free, you should all be very happy you have these events happening. SO..support your trials events...be pleased you have them!!..get yer entries in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big chick Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Sent my entry nearly 2 weeks ago, has it turned up? If not will send again. Andy Chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
