Friday December 31st 2021 - NEW YEAR’S EVE.
Friday, December 31st, 2021As we turn the page on another year - I’m sure we all look back and think of the past - if like us , you Emigrated from Wales - you will have a special appreciation of this - Wales the land of Song.
Thanks to Face Book - we have been able to get a neat 2022 Calendar, full of our pics from the past - This one is of course Sammy King when he first came over on Holiday from OZ - he sent me an email asking if I could help him out with a bike while he was here. - I did and put him on one of our Factory Beta 300’s - and fitted him out with Wulf gear. - The next few weeks were full of great rides with Sam - showing him stuff in the Okanagan - I took this shot of him at Summerland - the minder is Matt Reading from Cherryville - ( We don’t see much of Matt these days - since he became a family man)
Those times riding with Sam were really some of the best I remember, plus of course, he came back to stay and we continued to sponsor him on both Beta and TRS. - Glad to say Sam has gone on to great things, with a sponsorship with Beta Canada, and he hosts really good Trials Schools ( The lad has done good)
I will post a new pic at the start of each month.

And for all you people heading out onto the Hiways - remember there are very good Truck Drivers - but also some who should not be out there. ( Check out the sign on the back of this crashed unit) - After being out on the road for some 30 years - I noticed a decline in the number of good Truck drivers during the last 10- 15 years - too many young inexperienced guys maybe. I’m very glad that I don’t have to travel anymore, - I put on a lot of miles covering Western Canada.
The early years were pretty good - with lots of challenges - but I had a CB radio and would chat to the Truckers to relieve the boredom especially late at night.( 10-4 good buddy!!)

The weather on this last day of 2021 is still very cold at -19 in Vernon, very hard on vehicles and bodies, we have mixed memories from this year, The Pandemic changed the way of everyday life for the whole World. - Then came the summer Forest Fires which devastated some places in BC - evacuation orders for many, including our area ( although this got rescinded) - after that came the floods in BC, washing out the Hiways, and cutting off supplies to the Interior, this was followed by the cold snap.
- Yes it’s been quite the year, we have lost friends and family members, and been unable to attend funerals because of the Covid 19. - Plus most Motorcycle Trials had to be cancelled, so we did not see many of our regular friends and customers.
In spite of all this, we have survived, and we look forward to better days in 2022 - who knows what the future holds?
Happy New Year everybody.
