While the recent Costa Brava Classic Trial featured at least three former world trials champions - it is rather surprising that our old friend Mick Andrews does not ride this event, as we know he spends quite a lot of time in Spain with his wife Jill. - This pic shows him on the Ossa that he helped design, and which became the pattern for the new 1974 Yamaha TY 250.
Eddie Lejuene was riding at the Costa Brava - He won the World Trials Championship for Honda three times - but what was the year he took his first title??
==================================================>
Yesterday I watched a good Tape on You-Tube of the recent Southern Experts Trial - It is a good one to check out, showing just how slick the terrain gets in Southern England, where they are confined to small venues with not a lot of variation - and absolutely NO ROCKS. - but at least they didn’t have any of the man made parking lot stuff. - Easy to see why Steve Saunders got to be so good riding mud sections.   ( But he did also win the Scottish 5 times)
Unfortunately there is no coverage of the Sidecar class at this event - which Steve won (TRS) with his daughter Izzy in the chair.
=========================================>
I must apologize for some of the large pics posted here recently - I’m still having some issues in transferring stuff to my blog.
=========================================>
This is a link to the Red Bull ride that the KTM boys did earlier this year - Chris Hrabb was along for the ride.

Interesting to note that Trial Mag UK John Hulme has been posting quiz pics on face book - wonder if he got that idea from clicking on my blog!!
=========================================>
The pic which just came up on FB says this was 12 years ago, when Steve stopped by and bought a new Wulf Jacket - We can still get these which are more of an Enduro style, but have zip out sleeves with a storage pocket at the back - very reasonably priced as are all the top quality Wulf items. - We are already starting to ship Christmas orders, so don’t be disappointed gt your order in NOW - Any questions? just give us a call we are happy to help and can ship anywhere in Canada. ( Note! The old Outlaw van was parked when it had over a million k on the clock - always run on Opti 10w40)
