A nice clear, sunny morning, so the plan is to get out with Andrew Vipond, for a bit of a ride - he  has already got some time on his new TRS 280 and loves it. - Will try to get a few pics.

Meanwhile over in the UK the annual “Super Trial” goes today which always gets a good attendance. - But with the Urban Trial going on as well in France, not all the top Brits will be there this year.

Looks like Raga won in France - James Dabill in the UK event.

So this time next week - we will be heading for Ymir and Round #4 of the 2019 Outlaw Series - With that in mind, I took some time to check out who is leading in the points battle in each class - this is what I came up with.

Expert - Steve Day  - 42 points

Advanced -Brian McNeal - 51 points

Senior Advanced - Ross Rathbone - 73 points

Intermediate - Russ Nelson - 75 points
Sportsman - Taff Parfitt - 68 points

This is Steve Doel riding his Outlaw/Beta at the Wetaskiwin demo last weekend - It was organized   by Jacek’s group of Trials riders, and went over well. With coverage in the local paper.

=======================================>

And this is Andy Huddleston from the UK - brilliant Trials rider - and a Police Officer - We had a great visit, but sadly too short. -

Andy was a member of the Yamaha Trials team and currently rides a  sponsored Honda  in selected events including the Scottish Six Days, where he has finished as high as 4th overall. - We had him test  the TRS 125, before also letting his young lad also give it a try around the yard, his daughter watched from our balcony.    The 125’s are ideal for the youngsters, and we have both the TRS and Beta Evo in stock ( As you can see by the pic - in the right hands they can also perform really well for adult riders,)

Had to get a pic with Momma bear before they left - after an overnight stay in Kelowna, they head to Vancouver, before returning to the UK late Tuesday.  What a wonderful family.

Andy still has the Outlaw toolbelt that I sent him many years ago, and uses it at all the events such as the Scottish Six Days. - We chatted about a zillion topics, but I was interested to hear that he acted as a minder for James Dabill at one point.
=========================================>

This is Andy Huddleston from the UK - He will be stopping by to see us on route to Vancouver with his wife, while on Holiday - Although he is on a Honda in the pic - He always rode  a Yamaha  TYZ back in the day - saw him at the 1995 World Round at Hawkstone Park.

After the very successful trip to the 1983 ISDE in Wales in 1983 - Jim & Muriel Kelly  made up these badges for the Team members and support crew. - Yes it really was quite a party, and the local Welsh people went out of their way, to make the Canadian Team welcome.  - Sadly Jim Kelly passed away a few years later, doing what he liked best - riding his bike at the local MX track in Ontario, from a heart attack. - Muriel ( Butch) Kelly, still keeps in touch with many of the Eastern riders who were on the Team that year, that saw the Canadians win the Watling Trophy - only given out on special occasions to Teams and Country’s that perform above expectations.

=========================================>

Here’s a nice pic of Sammy when he was on the Outlaw Beta with Tiki taking a ride in the backpack.

Andrew just picked up a very nice TRS 280 for his birthday  !!! on a rainy afternoon in the Valley.   ( Note:  His 2013 Gasser is now for sale)

Check out this video if you like sidecar Trials - Steve Saunders and his daughter Izzy.

========================================.>

Many of our readers will know that Steve Foord ( Foordy) of Calgary - was involved in a serious Motor vehicle crash over the weekend. - He sustained fractures to his neck and is pretty banged up, but being a tough customer I’m sure he will mend better than most, although he will be wearing a “Halo” ( a metal ring) to hold his head for three months. Steve’s fiance Melissa , is keeping us all updated via face book, and he is getting lots of messages from the Off Road racers. -

A very popular guy, we were contacted by Steve ( who is from the UK) many years ago, asking about Trials in Canada, and were able to help him with Sherco bikes for a few years, before he switched to Enduro, and we managed to get him a Beta through Mountain Motorcycle. - He won the WTC National title in 2009. on an Outlaw Sponsored Sherco 250.
Since that time, he has excelled at Enduro X and also taught a lot of schools on  using Trials technique to improve riding the big bikes. He is currently sponsored by Beta Canada.
On behalf of all Trials riders, we wish Foordy a speedy recovery .

The pic below, shows Steve winning the Expert class at a ATRA Trial in Rocky Mountain House. ( note the Outlaw sticker)

======================================>

So here’s a point to ponder - Dougie Lampkin has just completed a North American tour for Vertigo - but is he planning to jump ship at some point soon? - Total speculation on my part, but he does have a lot of friends in the Industry.  ( CCM?) Maybe Dougie will spark a new British Trials bike era.? - A rule we used to have when I worked in the industry - If you haven’t heard  a rumor  by 10am in the morning - “Start one”
====================================>

A few early morning chuckles !!
- Future  Trials will now be called  Rabbit events - “Hoppy -to be- Hoppy to be - Hop. Hop.
Another rumor has future bikes coming with only a rear wheel - in order to save weight - However the price will remain the same !.

==========================================>

Happy to post this pic of long time friend  - Don  Galloway - An ace Flat-track rider - Many people might not know that Don worked for Yamaha Canada for a while in the Accessory Department and we spent some interesting times “on the road” when he first joined - Don went on to be a very successful Motorcycle dealer  with Cycle Works in Edmonton, but has also done a ton of work for the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

======================================>

I see TRS have now got an Importer in Chile - a place where one of our nephews gets married in October - he has  connections in  the wine industry - We had an invite, but at our age, traveling is really no longer an option.

A pic of one of the 2020 TRS models in Chile - shows it fitted with Dunlop tires !!  - As mentioned Beta switched to Dunlop last year, which seem to be working just fine. But it’s probably the crazy price of X lites - that is the main reason for the change.

=====================================>

Yesterday we shipped out one of the last two Jitsie short Trials seats that we had in stock - Don’t think we can get any more of these, so if you are thinking about buying one - better shout up quickly. ( They velcro on and work well)
