Saturday, July 31st, 2021This is pic of Toni Bou at a US World Round a few years ago - before they decided to make these events more like a Circus. - This looks like a great section possible for more than just the top three riders. ( Looks like Donner)
=====================================>
Then we have this shot from the Romaniacs Bike Carrying Contest.
Still with the Romaniacs - Pol Tarres ( Jordi’s nephew) finished in 18th spot overall ,on the Yamaha 700 Tenere, an incredible performance.
Not sure where Trystan Hart finished, but he was running in 7th spot overall - we will post the full results when we see them. UPDATE Trystan finished 7th.
===============================================>
While I have been enjoying some of the Olympics on TV - it occurred to me today while watching the Golf, that as all these guys are Pro Golfers and used to making a zillion dollars every weekend - why are they allowed to play in this event, I thought it was all about amateur athletes competing ? and really - can you really say that some of these so called “Sports” should be in the Olympic Games? - Obviously a lot of people might think differently, but that’s my opinion. ( The Ladies have been doing Canada proud - winning all the medals so far)
=========================================>
The news on the 2022 Beta Evo is a bit disappointing with no big changes ( promised for years) - however there is some good news - we will have a Factory 200 for next year !! this should be a brilliant bike, so if you are in the market let us know quickly as supply will be limited.
========================================>
This is a shot I took of Steve Colley (Beta) at the 1992 Scottish -( Pentax 35mm) the Section took a lot of fives, but Colley flew up it. -
==========================================>
And for all the Tourists thinking of visiting the OK Valley this long weekend - this is what you have to look forward to >>>
The pic taken overlooking our backyard - normally we can see Swan Lake which is only about a block away. - The smell of smoke is awful and we are also getting ash blowing around, even though the fires are all a long way off ( at this point)
