Saturday, September 25th, 2021This is Steve Troupe who is enjoying a return to Classic Trials in Ontario - Here he is on his 125 Honda TL - first introduced in 1973 - I was invited to test ride back then, but found them very much under powered.
The Importer in Vancouver at that time was Clarke Symkins  if my memory serves me correct - they sponsored Peter Smith who had good success on a bored out 150cc version.
Also in the Classic mode - Dave Butler rode his old Greeves at the Corduroy and won an award for the oldest bike - Dave is the longtime Beta and TRS dealer for that area.
===========================================>
The CPTA had a Trial last weekend which was won by Sean Bird (Scorpa) - Don Doerksen sent us the results, but I can’t seem to re-post them ( I’m not too CP savvy) - I can however forward via email to anybody interested.
The Club also have their annual Classic Trial this Sunday at Ioco - details on their website.
=========================================>
The DOT was a very popular bike back in the 1950’s, being used in both Trials and Scrambles - this is an early version with a European engine, but these were soon replaced by the Villiers units.
=====================================================>
Team Beta are already for the last World Enduro this weekend in Italy - This is Steve Holcombe’s bike - beauty.

Check out this fall by Adam Raga - those rocks were slick.

For our aircraft fans - this shows a De Haviland Rapide in the foreground ( I think) , but what caught my eye was the Fox Moth in the top of the pic - this was a cabin version of the famous Tiger Moth, used as a trainer for the RAF - It was also in one of these that I had my first flight, a guy was giving joy rides at a seaside resort in the UK, taking off from the beach. It was quite the thrill for a young lad.
