OK - The answer to the quiz pics from yesterday !!
#1 the gadget on the front mudguard is for collecting horse shoe nails that had dropped by the horses that used the old “Bridle-paths” - some of which were used in the Scottish !!!( the paths - not the horses) NOBODY guessed this ( surprise surprise) info came from John Moffat
#2 This is a tire pump - a standard fitting on many bikes in the old days ( also a regular item carried in the Scottish)
#3 The pic was taken at a trial we had at Dave Griffin’s place in Fruitvale -BC lots of familiar faces - most of which Brett Clark got.
Jimmy Corkle a couple of local guys - plus Kevin Couves, Barry Van As - myself - Mike Seto - Graeme Manning and his lad - It was an extremely hot day +40 - I remember because I had heat stroke & passed out while riding a big rock section. Had to lie down in the creek to cool off. Oh yes I remember Barry also got a speeding ticket on the way home to Kelowna!!!
