Guess who this rider is on the Scottish Program ?

Note the price on the Programme !! Does anyone know how many “Pence” are in a “shilling” and how many “shillings” are in a “Pound”

Here is a pic of the Program from last year (Thanks to Harry McKay)

You will notice the price has gone up a bit!!

Here is a pic of the “New” money – Back in the day, we had – a Farthing – a half Penny – A penny – A three-penny bit – etc etc –

========================================

Jamie McGregor from Brantford ONT – posted some pics on FB of the time he rode the Scottish, along with Pete Varey and Mark McColeman – and yes they all finished.

I remember this section from 1989 when I grabbed a pic of Steve Saunders taking a “Dab”

Here is a pic of Graeme Jarvis who won that year on the “NEW” Bultaco !! We had the first one of these in Canada.

And Jamie’s cap autographed by a few of the stars.

And a Rock!!!! ( I have one from the top of joss Mountain)

==========================================

We had a nice visit with Chris Hrabb yesterday – we have not seen him for a very long time, so a lot to catch up on. He is still busy flying Helicopters & fire fighting will soon be keeping him fully occupied, but he did say he recently made a trip down South and rode some neat trails on his Husky. – Chris also has a TRS Trials bike, so we chatted quite a bit about mountain riding up joss etc.
