Anybody who figures I haven't anything better to do than trawl the internet looking for crash pics, would be most correct.....

O.T.????????????????

And the question just has to asked....

What does the O.T. in Kev07's email address stand for???????????????

Most obvious choices are as follows....

2010 Australian Trials Titles

There is now a new date for the Aussie Titles in QLD at Mt Tamborine

Looks like it is now a week earlier on August 21st/22nd.

Birdwood Practice and Coaching Sessions

Seeing that the weather is still remaining cool and its returned to normal rain patterns, we have been able to fit in some extra ride sessions and even been able to fit in some coaching as well. We will keep running these sessions as long as the weather holds.

 Thanks to all the guys that have been out and we have even seen some marked improvements in riding capabilities as well. Tony and his new Beta have come along in leaps and bounds and Kev 07s brain has finally switched out of OS holiday mode and is making good progress.

Inititally we have been concentrating on proper body position and foot positioning on the pegs and correct turning technique.

The nature of the mini sections at the last coaching day were all deliberately designed to be most difficult to clean.....IF YOUR CENTERING WASN"T RIGHT!!! So for those blokes who still are having trouble here is some useful links to turning techniques;

Sorry we can't give everybody more notice as to when each Ride Day is on, but we have to keep a close eye on the weather to make sure its not too hot for riding

From the Trials Commissioner. Proposed advertisement for the 2010 Manual of Motorcycle Sport

Here's the proposed advert to go in next years Manual of Motorcycle Sport. Great idea, but this ad is seriously lame. None of the non riding people I showed it to could understand it.

 

So I put together this one ......

And yet more Frenchie stuff

And I stumbled upon this one quite by accident on the main French Mototrials site Trial-Club

Here's the link

Seems we're more famous than we thought.

Especially Dave Hunt who must owe PA one for modifying his pic so he appears in pink..........

and includes one of my favourite shots from this year...........

Frenchie Sidecars

If you know French, your laughing. If you snoozed thru French lessons like I did then you'll need to translate via Babelfish. Great site......virtually 99.9% sidecar mototrials. (Lotsa Gassers....most important..)
