Well I need my fix of something bike related somehow at this time of year, so when I got an invite and a free lift to boot (Thanks Johny Kennedy yer a star) :thumbsup) well whats to think about? so off we went to Trial at Glenridding near Ullswater and what a cracking day :clap: sun shining all day, bikes of all ages, and the classic ones appealed to me the most, especially the Ariel HT5 and what labour of love it's been for the owner (Valued at £10,000 as it stands) but what a cracking motorsport £15 for an entry, a couple of cupfuls of 2-stroke mix, and getting yourself and the bike there! :thumbsup) and what a friendly bunch they are, all willing to help each other, and it's easy to see why it's so addictive....their all fanatics :P anyroad enough bollocks here's some pics and vids :clap:
