Exeter Trial

Post by Richard Simpson Mark II »

Anyone doing the MCC Exeter Trial in the New Year?

I've agreed to passenger a Dellow car for a neighbour in the next village (no roof, no heater so probably even more uncomfortable than a motorcycle)

Dark, cold, and probably wet.

I must be mad!!!!

You'll probably be sick as well trying to map read at night whilst being bounced around--be prepared!

No. But I'm hoping to assist (or spectate) on the Clee Hill Trial though...

Dig out that motorcycle heated clothing now Mr S.... ;)

True enough...I passengered on Tony Divey's TriKing many years ago in the Lands End Trial....but that was at Easter time.

Still, I can say I was once a 'works rider' as the TriKing business was owned by Tony and I was riding in his vehicle.

I don't think it will have an electric accessory plug...I'm rather hoping for a coal fire in the footwell!

The miracle of a modern battery will change your life (for the colder parts of the night anyway!!) :lol: That or grab some gel hand warmers....
