Finally a discussion I can't lose in . I have a foot in both camps.
I think I can see a ride off. Anyone for tickets?

Steve don't get too excited now - time for a memory jog - Twinshock Masters 2011 - 1st place 1970 Bultaco Sherpa T - 2nd and 3rd places were mid-1980s Honda 4 strokes


Between the Denman club championship & the Twinshock Masters that would be Honda four strokes 5 out 6 places.

Can anyone remember which make took out the NSW & Aussie championships in 2011??

Hi Steve,
I don't know if your aware but there are riders out there that have several spanish bikes at home that they don't use anymore. Maybe that is why there was no spanish bikes there. Just a thought.

Hello all. I would just like to point out that in sunny Queensland last year Spanish bikes got 1st and 2cd in the twinshock class at the QLD titles and in the QLD Moto Trials Series in twinshock a Spanish bike got 1st. A TLR did get second and third in the series though. Graham.

I would say a good rider on an uncompetitive bike is almost always going to beat a less able rider on a better bike.

Aha, so now you are saying that TLR Hondas are uncompetitive against Spanish bikes because Hondas placed 1,2,3???? :lol:
relax, nothing is under control
