well no flying this weekend so luckily for me a new sideline of trials riding, gives an alternative to these long spells without flying.

Good to see Ron Freeman has not lost his knack of getting wrong end of the stick.

I was a bit of a junior kickstart fan as a kid.... I had use of a Montesa 250 and used to rag it round my old man's field. I had to sell the bike though after the next door neighbour got really pissed when I rode over her VW Beetle..... oh happy days.

Aye... a Northumbrian none fliers posse. I've already got my eye on a bike for sale, it's a Itchyfani 500... anyone have any ideas what it's worth; its definitely been well used?

well this could get interesting as looks like sunday there is a junior trial on at ridsdale near otterburn on sunday 12.00 so looking at the weather then I know what I will be doing this weekend :D :D :D :D :D

full paid up member of the ACU £10.00 membership
full paid up membership of bedlington £3.00

so ready to get lots of points in trials only problem is in this sport is the more points the lower the score.

cheers gary

I have had a lot of bikes over the years but never an Ichyfany, my friends had them and found some of them very unreliable and very expensive to maintain, it was often much worse when they had more than one at the same time. Velocette was the way to go, by the time you got it started you were too knackered to go out!
