So this weekend is the Dougie Lampkin Indoor Trial at Sheffield -He has all the top riders signed up, including Adam Raga on his new Sherco ride – but most fans will be rooting for Toby Martyn plus Harry Hemmingway.
Also happening this weekend is the Vancouver (Tradex) Show – but sadly it appears my days of attending these events are over. – For those taking this in, be sure to check out the CPTA booth and also stop by to say Hello to Emily on the Motorcycle Mojo booth. ( Ask her how she likes her new Outlaw Beta Evo 200)
Unfortunately all this is happening on the first really cold snap of winter, so anyone driving please take care.

Yesterday we posted a pic of Terry Porter in a very bad weather May Alberta Trial – Well here is a similar pic of myself on that same day, taken by John Whitby – Note that I’m not wearing gloves!! -You can see the snow flakes !! – As mentioned yesterday – I had a big crash coming down from the last section in the Trial – I might be the only guy to win a Trial with a broken leg!!
===================================
Answer to the last quiz – John Surtees in the chair of his Dad’s Sidecar outfit – John is the only man to win a World Championship on both two and four wheels. Correct answers from Neil Carter. and Brett Clark.
QUIZ – Who is this rider ? and what bike is he riding? – Hint it was at a Canadian Championship Trial in Alberta when we had a big dump of snow overnight.
