ummmm...... so you guys reckon it`s been a bit cold & quiet ay!
Name the Gutsy Global Event and the Country that took out the junior World Trophy and Women's World Trophy in 2015?
(hints given if necessary.) (popcorn)
Assuming soccer.
2015 was the year the US women beat Japan for the cup......dunno about the Jr. Cup
New Zealand? Tee-Ball (Everybody wins so everybody loses?)
hmmmm....read 75 times and so far all answers are wrong. (incl pm`s from the shy guys.)
Hint......the sport involves two wheels. (popcorn)
Okay, okay....it`s a motorbike event!
It`s is one of the toughest events, if not thee toughest motorcycle event in the world! (popcorn)
I would like to say the Paris Dakar Rally and Australia, but i am probably wrong.

You`re Right!.....You`re Wrong! But ya had a go and are getting very warm!
Another Hint....neither USA, UK nor France picked up a trophy. None of them even got one trophy, despite their best team efforts! (popcorn)

Apparently I may be one of only a few excited by this motorcycle event, but tis definately a motorcycle event, so not the Tour De France, sorry.
ummmmm.....To minimise the risk of boring yawn/s icons, I will annunciate the breaking news answer, tomorrow morning. (about 9 hrs from now, if not cracked beforehand)
Oh,....... the Country that won the Men`s Trophy?...... also won the junior trophy and the women`s trophy and no they are not young transvestites.
Winner receives a non transferable free accom package for our next rally if they live overseas, or a free T shirt if it`s an Aussie attendee! :drinks:
My last guess(I want a new t shirt) Fink rally. Australia

Though he hasn`t declared which Country, I formally declare fj johnnie the winner of the full weekend accommodation package at the Snowline Hotel in Australia`s Southern Alps! (Seriously) for the weekend of March 18th & 19th 2016. :yahoo:
If I confirmed the International Six Day Enduro as the event, a simple google would reveal the winner of the lot, yes a clean sweep of the three Trophys for Men, Women and Juniors is ...... AUSTRALIA! :gamer: Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! ......34 other countries ate our dirt!
Congratulations Australia & Congratulations fj johnnie...and yeah we`ll throw in a bike for ya too! Come and taste a bit of our Dirt! Beer! & Comraderie! (We`ll meet you at the airport!) :drinks:

Well. We are back from California on the 22nd of Feb, ( or thereabouts) so that gives me three weeks of work before another holiday. Sounds about right. A seed has been planted. John
