Below is a pic from the 1971 ISDT – the one I was supposed to go to in the Isle of Man – but a broken leg early season ended that dream. John Kitchener sent me this – He rode a lot of Enduro and also quite a few Scottish Six Day Trials – John keeps in touch while back in the UK for an extended vacation from his home in Castlegar BC.
