Here are the results from last weekend in Ontario. -Lots of mud and quite a few DNF. But reports say it was a really good enjoyable Trial.

It seems that many people who like airplanes also like motorcycles, and this was quite common during World War Two. – Here is a shot of a neat old Norton alongside a British Typhoon. – The comments posted with this say the pilot was killed shortly after this picture was taken.

Did you know that the British “James” motorcycle was one of the first factories after the war ? This was what we bought for our first bike – although not this particular one – We loved that tank motif.

Here is a pic of me on my first James back in 1955 – I’m on the right, my buddy Malcolm (rip) is alongside me on his Francis Barnett.
