Hi Everybody,
Jackroo is right, the term "sequentially" on its own, without any qualifying addendums is meaningless.
It can mean, amongst a plethora of other scenarios, riding every third section...one and ten, two and nine...the easy ones first, then the hard...ad nauseum.
All they had to say was ...

Hi Ian and Shane,

I too have fond memories of Don Smith.

One of the best is while he was having one of his on again, off again, love-hate relationships with Sammy Miller ( Don loved to wind him up, and was probably the only one around at the time with the cheek, nerve and ability to do it!).

Hi JML,

Count me in!

I'll be there with balls on.

Hi David,

Hi All,

I wonder if anybody has had the same feeling of having been here before whilst reading the 'how to ride' chapters in Steve Saunders' book 'On Trial, my life in motorcycle trials'

It's an Isle of Wight Motor Cycle Club ( Becky Cook's and my old club, I will be riding the Isle of Wight Two Day when I vist family in April next year ) trial at Downend chalk pit near the Hare and Hounds ...

295 Euros to lose a kilo.

That's nothing, when I was doing some work with an America's Cup team a few years ago, the technical director told me that they reckoned 100,000 dollars to lose a kilo from the top of the mast was a bargain!

Happy days,

joe.
