Steve Doel showed up with this old & very tall trailer on Friday to pick up the bikes - but still loaded them by hand - without a ramp - big strong guy, !!
Here is the podium at Round #1 of the British championship
And congrats to young Chris Stay (TRS) from the Isle of Wight on winning the Expert class.
Helmut Clasen posted this pic from the ISDT in Germany back in 1968 - Optimol supported the event- Helmut has been using the product ever since.
And now for something a bit different a video about Steam Engines. - When I was a lad ( a very long time ago) I used to belong to the schoolboys Train watchers club. - We had small books with all the engines operating in the UK at that time listed. What we did, was spend hours at a local Train station - and wait for the trains to pass. - Then we would note the name of the engine and number, which would then be underlined in our book as being “Seen”
I know that I became quite friendly with the guys who operated the Signal box at the Whittington station near Oswestry - I was able to spend time up in the box and even got to be shown how to pull the levers that operated the signals for the trains..

Yesterday I drove up to Magna Bay to deliver Ross Rathbone his new Beta Factory Evo - I quite enjoyed the drive via the back road to Salmon Arm - I saw a gaggle of white Snow Geese flying low over the fields a very nice sight.
