Answer to the last quiz – Nigel Birkett on a 125 Fantic in the Scott Trial – he was heard to say that it “Went like a 250! “- – We forgot to mention yesterday in our report of our ride on the TRS 125 – we special ordered this bike and intended keeping it – but then somebody wanted to buy it. – now the new owner says he put over 300 hours on that bike !! and the motor has never been touched!!! pretty impressive because I also put a few hours on it as well. – of course he always ran Opti 2 premix – so that would explain it !!! Definitely a keeper for us now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today. – Name this place pic taken in 1908.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter from OZ sent us this pic of a young rider “Resting” on the Scottish Moors !! – reminded me of a time I took a wrong line up on the Welsh Moors one day while out riding by myself!! – ended up walking a couple of miles to a farm, and getting the kind farmer to come out with his carthorse to pull my bike out of a big bog. – – I did learn a lesson from this and became quite good at riding Canadian Muskeg in later years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update! Just saw this post by Heath Brindley – pretty much tells it as it is and the reason we have lost interest in World Trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good read \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FIM appear to want to make trials extreme enduro !! It\u2019s not a race ffs and part of the skill is coming back from a shaky first lap and climbing back up the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section timing makes it like and enduro to watch, and too many man made sections is just making it an indoor trial but outdoors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should be restricted to a maximum of two \u201carena\u201d style sections. The rest should be all natural terrain \u2026 and making the time limit too tight per section not only means <\/a>racing around but also more chance of injury to not only riders but also spectators \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the super sections? .. feck off !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
