Answer to the Saturday Quiz – Dave Thorpe – top rider from the 70’s then a winner of the Pre 65 Scottish a number of times. Correct answers came in from John Kitchener, – Pete Varey-Brett Clark, Neil Carter – Harlow, & Stan plus Roger Boothroyd – who told us the story of being encouraged by Dave Thorpe at the World Round we put on in 1975.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could the famous Scottish Six Day Trial be in trouble? – A post on FB has showed a large area around Fort William being considered as a Park.!! – Obviously this is a huge concern – we will watch closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well after the second big snow storm in as many days – we eventually managed to get to the store for groceries – while the main Hiway was clear – our narrow back road was still a challenge. – Katie stopped by for parts and parked up top as our drive was still plugged. – Glad to say the forecast looks better for this week with warmer temperatures. – I wonder if anybody got out riding in he South ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

=========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all the latest posts being published regarding the new FIM World Round rules – This my opinion ><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. It makes absolutely no difference to regular club Trials – <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Motorcycle sport, along with others, has seen a lot of changes over the years – maybe not so many as the World Trials scene. Plus The FIM need to have more meetings with riders and Factories, before deciding on any new rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Riders will enter what ever they wish, in order to either have fun – or just to try it out – in the latter case – we have found that most Newbies who enter their first Trial – are totally out of their depth, or think the sport is easy and they are much better riders, than they are. ( Many have watched too much You Tube)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. It is our opinion that Trials events, should be set up by experienced riders, who know the abilities of each class. -and “Keep things Simple” – putting in junior-senior sections that require trick riding, will only end in tears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Forget what is happening on the World stage – except for entertainment. Plus remember “Nobody gets it right all the time”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    There you go five simple rules for enjoying Motorcycle Trials –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
