[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 119158, member: 60"] The bike also makes a difference I did a MCC trial which was from Cornwall to Brooklands I was on a 1958 650 Trophy standard trim with Trials knoblies it started in the dark one of the competitors was on a Royal Ruby which is a belt drive veteran (this is in company with road bikes and trials bikes remember) it was festooned with dry batteries to drive his lights somewhere after dawn out towards the north side of Mortonhampstead we were riding down one of those west country lanes tarmac but very muddy and grass in the middle we were all slipping and sliding when the Royal Ruby came by all the trail bikes its 2" narrow tyres cutting through the mud and finding plenty of grip and he had time to wave one hand at us! I remember he climbed the test hill at Brooklands as well but he started in the car park. [ATTACH type="full"]34012[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
