This is an interesting photo from 1909 when they were building the huge power Station at Kinlochleven in the Scottish Highlands - Of course most Trials riders, will recognize this as the famous section called “Pipeline”
The Ontario group put on a Trial at the weekend - carefully monitoring the social distancing aspect - here is a nice shot of a rider on one of the new Chinese bikes being sold by Ron Golden. ( thanks for letting us post this)
We heard they had 38 riders all pre-entered !!

Remember when Merlin (Later bought by Gas Gas) came out with these wheels? They were banned by the FIM because of the danger to a minder when trying to grab the front wheel. ( I think they called them cheese cutters)

Toni Bou has been posting some amazing video clips on FB of how he has been keeping fit and sharp in the shut down. I do like the fact that he is riding a lot of really natural terrain.

An unusual pic of Mick Scrambling a big heavy Matchless at the UK Ponderosa event in 2015 (Thanks to Tim Britton for the pic ) - Mick is looking a bit knackered there!!

Today I have to go to Kelowna to pick up a shipment of Opti oil from the Truck depot so it’s going to be a busy day.
