Answer to the last quiz – Brian Stonebridge who was so tragically killed in a car crash – A former BSA Factory rider we saw him racing a super modified 150cc BSA Bantam at Hawkstone park in 1955 – it was fitted with an expansion chamber exhaust first developed for road racing ( I think by MZ) and it was a real rocket – passing big bore (heavy) thumpers going up the huge hill. – Wish I had pics of this. – John Kitchener (UK) and Roger Boothroyd got it. – quite a few guessed Dave Bickers, who was Stonebridge’s Protege.

Here is a neat pic of a young Jordi Tarres checking out the original Bultaco Sherpa T that Sammy Miller helped design and the bike that changed Trials forever. – ( I wonder if that planted the seed for him to one day build his own brand?)

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

It has been reported that there have been changes regarding the MMIC which has now been taken over by another group – It seems this will effect the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame, and Paul Germaine has issued a plea for support to continue this great club in it’s original format ( more can be seen on FB)
