Come on QLD – wasn't the whole idea of Air cooled Mono to keep the fun police at bay, why add another arbitrary date manufactured by rule?

Not to mention the absence of a Family entry fee. I'd hate to be in the shoes of Western District's Competition Secretary when Chuck finds out! :oops:

Hey Guys,

Im sure that the absence of the family fee is just a misprint and if you all wait a day or 2 im sure things will be rectified, awell as the issuse in relation to the air cooled mono-shock class.


Regards,

Chuck, the rocket scientist.

Guess what Toby. You didn't read it correctly. If you did you would have seen that there is no monoshock class. Any references to it are our mistakes.

But the people in QLD have put in the regs that the bike has to be manufactured before 1995.


What were you about to buy? I haven't been active on this forum lately (busy recovering from flood damage to our property) so haven't kept up with the monoshock debate but I thought there weren't any air-cooled bikes made after 1995. You weren't thinking of buying a scorpa were you?

Year model cutoff or not the fact is you don't have one. The real problem we have up here is people saying they are about to buy a monoshock. I have had only two to compete against all year. So far the class is a complete non-event. Just do it and I won't mention cut off dates again.

Sorry chucky, not a misprint and not changing it. Don't like it - don't come. The more people I can piss off the more chance I have of winning a title in a proper class. :P

No, you are right. I was quite disappointed that we couldn't hold it. What bike were you buying - I am quite interested. If you are buying one I suspect it would be a very good model. But I'm stuffed if I know what it could be.

Sorry guys - failed attempt at humour. But now tinged with a degree of frustration. No matter what anyone does, we can't please everyone.

Trials in Australia is not falling - it is clearly growing again at last. My thoughts about the problems with trials mostly stem around the reluctance of competitors to take on committee positions within clubs, or become officials helping to run (and grow) the sport. The fact that club and official roles often fall on our non riding spouses is disgraceful. And then to have them criticised.....

By the way - we do ride in our backyards - nearly everywhere else is illegal. What is more we are inviting all of Queensland to ride in ours for the titles.

And what is wrong with SQTA? They clearly do a good job and I regret having to work on the titles preparation instead of riding my sidecar at last weekends event.
