Hey there

I work in Penryn and live in Falmouth 4 days per week. I ride a GSXR1100 but thats at home in the garage in St Ives.

I've probably seen you out riding around!

Cheers

Lee

Lee,
Probably - where do you work? I actually work in Redruth so probably pass you Monday am/Fri pm, used my GSXR1000K2 most of the summer before getting the SD last month, usually on the Fal/Redruth road anytime between 8.15-9.00am each morning.

Jon,
Yeah done the End to End most years since 93, quite an easy going trial that one and more of a social event. Also done the London/Lands End but alot on 'jobsworths' running that event (failed scruitineering because I used black tape rather than white to hold my numbers on - bear in mind scrutineering takes place 100 miles after you start).
Have you done the Wintery Trial that Camel Vale run in November - bloody hard going but always seems to be fun. Also the Moor to Sea trial is a long day but with fantastic views (also known as More to See) last year the rain came in quite bad altering easy sections to virtually impossible, even got the car stuck in the field at the end of the day!

Unfortunately my XR does not look that tidy anymore - well used, tempted to alter mine but it carburates so cleanly at present don't want to lose that (my dad has one set up exactly the same but still does the 'stall without warning' trick usually at the worse possible time).

Yep I remember that field, lost all my points at the bottom as I spun out on the 'bend', was doing alright until then, cleaned the 'wall' in the earlier water section!! They didn't use the field last year cos the weather had got so bad.

Thanks for getting things sorted, probably me as not brilliant on a computer - tried posting a picture of my private plate on your tail tidy in your post but the photo I was using was too big, by the time I resized it all you could see was XX.
