    MCC Trials

    I dont feel comfortable doing this, but I know members of this forum will be pleased to know what africa Twins are capable of. I have won a Triple Award in MCC trials this year, which means clean through all the sections in the three trials, and have also won the Motorcycle best performance award for the year, based on special test times. I posted a picture of me in the Lands End in an AT Offroad thread in the pictures section a while ago if you want to see the AT in action. See the MCC website for results and info about the trials, http://www.themotorcyclingclub.org.uk/.

    That's really impressive - just goes to show that the @ is till a competitive bike I think it's us owners that limit our bikes capabilities

    When I work out pictures better I will show bike as ready for trials and some home improvements I have done, which include screen extension using toilet parts and a bicycle carrying mechanism (I am a keen cyclist).
    Did you manage to get these pictures - would be great to see the bike with the 'improvements'

    I watch the section at Blue Hills every year - very steep and rocky track that climbs out of a scenic cove. 100s of people spectate there. I saw you on that occasion, impressive and the biggest bike all day - well done.

    Congratulations, if you don't blow your trumpet no one else will!

    Can you post here before the events occur so that if one of us is in the area we can come along and lend a little support? I'd be really happy to cheer you along!

    Cheers
    -Simon

    Ooooohhh...

    I've just had a look at the MCC website, are you going to compete on the Exeter trial?

    Looks like a great event and I'll be there (~excepting acts of doG, ETC!!~)

    Cheers

    Excellent John, nice to see the AT's got good hill climbing ability, my RD03 should be even better due to its lower weight, but I don't think I'm anywhere near as capable

    Well done, keep at it
