Anyone get a brand-spanking new trials iron in their Chrissy stocking?
Not at my place I'm afraid... Just socks & jocks.

No brand new trials iron for me yet either, but hoping to get something blue in the New Year. Did get a PW50 for the youngest. Took him about two days to get the hang of it. Now I have no time to ride anyway, having to watch and mind the 5 year old. No doubt my lot in life for the next couple of years.

Keep your feet up, Keith.

I did about as well as Keith, but a friend has a very well trained family. For Christmas he was given two new front tyres and a set of Hebo footpegs.

I can't complain......

I had to buy them myself, because nobody else in my family was confident they could get the right thing, but my family funded the purchase of a new throttle, new handgrips, and a new front tyre. (as well as getting all sorts of non-bike related stuff)

P.S. I'm still recovering.... it must have been something I ate. I know that alcohol kills germs, and so I had about 150 drinks more than I should have, but somehow something must have snuck through in the food, and I still felt crook afterwards. At least I tried!!!!!

Gday all
Ive been a very good boy this year!Look what santa jammed in my stocking
Thanks Pauly

Hi Everyone,

Santa bought for me 2 DVDs, indoor and outdoor 2007 trials championships complements of of my wife's long call with Tarp. By the way Tarp she was very impressed with how you helped her out. Thanks, I just pointed her in your direction with a list. The only problem I now have is that the DVDs show my poor skills up, I will never ride that well.

I funded a retro Honda jersy from Flat Rabbit which arrived today. It looks like I will be able wear it during summer as it is a very cool material because it is really a design for VMX. But it will work for when I ride my TLR. Also while I'm on the TLR, a brand new carby float for the TLR also arrived today from the Netherlands of all places. The wonders of the internet.

The Ty 175 got treated to a front new tire and new front wheel bearings today, just getting it ready for the Brooweena twinshock trial in June/July. Full paint job comming up in February. I also ordered two Falcon shocks for it today.

The Beta is going to get a repacked exhauast tomorrow. It is a surpise as it doesn't know it yet.

Christmas and 2008 has been good to me apparently, when I write it all down.

Drakey,

I hope you have big jar of vasoline






Or at least some CRC!

Just kidding, a word of warning! I have the same helmet as you (copy cat from......) and after a while the catch gets rusty and needs to be kept well lubed. The Trivets are great for keeping your head cool but look after the fasteners or your might find your head finds the rocks without a helmet attached.

Thanks BJ
Thats what I love the most about trials, plenty of nice people all looking out for each other. Thanks for the helmet tip.They are a bit dicky those clasps.But no dramas I run a bit of a different setup to you .Yeah I dont have a problem with helmet slip. Yep Ive got hair under mine

Santa came early, a new 08 Gasser for me

Dan,

What you need now is a set of Jitsie frame protectors and a Jitsie Carbon Fibre Exhaust Shield To keep that Gasser looking pretty and to stop you burning holes in your leg! I have them in stock so give me a yell and I'll look after you. After all Xmas only comes once a year this way at Easter you'll still think you have a new bike.
