Monday March 1st 2021 -ST DAVID’S DAY
March 1st, 2021Yes today is the day that all Welsh people celebrate - well maybe not all, but this is if you like, the same thing that St Patrick’s Day is to the Irish !! - in traditional times - Welsh men would wear a Leek ( sort of onion) in their lapel ( Don’t ask). If nothing else, like most of these things it’s usually just a good chance for a pith/up at the local Pub. - This year it’s likely going to be huge with a Rugby result like this from the weekend.
So today, we wish all our friends - Welsh or otherwise, a very good day, we hope that soon we will be able to see you again ( many we have not seen for about a year) -
======================================>
Our first 2021 Evo bikes will be coming in within the next couple of weeks - most are sold, and very few left, so if you are in the market - better get on it and call us.
Another Beta pic - taken quite a few years ago up on the ridge at Bear - a favorite spot - the bike is of course an Evo 200.

Ralf Remembers !!

=======================================>
We heard that Stan has recently picked up a Majesty for Vintage Trials ??? - looks like the old bikes might be showing some resurgence !! ( Remember we started the 1986 Outlaw Trial with a Vintage on Saturday - Modern Sunday and that is how it’s continued for most of the time)
======================================>
Gotta love these old Mountain - pics - another one from Europe someplace.
I wish I had a dollar for every time that I’ve driven over the Rogers Pass !! - But just imagine what it must have been like back in the day- before they built the Tunnel.
=======================================>
Over in Spain they have a lot of Trials clubs, and also a lot of youngsters who are being encouraged into sport, so no wonder they have become a Power House of Talent over the past couple of decades. - However - I do wonder sometimes when I see what they are teaching these kids what they perceive the sport is all about.
=======================================>
This is a great pic of old buddies Turk, Bob & Al taken at Al’s Sun Peak Home a few years ago. Must have been a great joke! - ( Thanks to Turk for sending this memory) As most of our friends know - we lost Al a few weeks ago, but Turk and Bob are still very active - in fact Turk emailed to say that he is having a great time on his TRS Xtrack-E 300 - says it’s the best bike he has ever owned - and believe me, he has had a few.
