Nice to see that two of the top five bikes at stage 1 are hondas!!

Where are the orange ones now?

1st and 2nd, with a Yamaha 3rd.............................

Yeah but there was still enough red in the top ten almost as much as orange... Considering that probably 80% of entries were ktm vs everything else!!!

I am very happy that 1st and 2nd were Spaniards (Marc Coma and Jordi Viladoms), but what I am really impressed is with Laia Sanz, as she ended up in 16th place. She has been trial's world champion for many years, and she is getting stronger and stronger... I am sure we will all hear more about her in the future!
Regarding the bikes, yes, KTM won and second, but they were all saying that the Hondas were very good machines... although I am sure that it should be great to ride any of the bikes racing there, don't you think?

Only if it's red!!!

Its funny how Mr Soto has such a short memory, it was only a short while ago that KTW was the best thing since sliced bread.. I expect Green will be the next best thing when his CRF blows up like Billys did.

If you are not on the podium you are a loser, the reason you are a loser is the Bike/Rider was not good enough............................

Only blow up if you don't check you valve clearances and do your oil changes. Keep on top of maintenance and they are fine... Like a ktm. Another reason I couldn't personally find anyone to maintain the ktm locally - inmoto in Croydon don't touch em and don't trust the guys in tolworth. Mixed reports on that one. I think Bracknell is too far just to go for a service. Otherwise I prob would have had another one... Oh and I prefer Hondas always have done - burls bike was mint and I was going by your advice sharpie on the ktm. still prefer the gas gas to ride though....

I know its not local but I take mine o the KTM centre in Hemel Hempstead for the main service such as valve clearances and you won't meet a better bunch of guys any where else, its like anything if you look after things they will last for ever
