Well Labour day was for me just that – working on Emily’s Beta Evo 200. – just general stuff, but it took a lot of time. -( The old guy isn’t used to this these days, but with my mechanic away on hols – things are backing up.) – shop is quite full at the moment, but at least it wasn’t too hot.

Answer to the last quiz – an easy one for most – John Ranger from Ontario who was a top rider in the 70’s, unfortunately , he never did travel out West and missed that first ever Canadian World Round we put on in 1975. – All of of our regular bloggers got it – plus a new guy by the name of Brian Wood ( no idea where he is from)
