Answer to the last quiz – Scott Ellis – Harlow was the first correct answer – but later Peter LeGrove from OZ – got it plus also noted that it was Don Smith standing by the side. – Ellis always wore a tattered old cap that looked like a dog had been chewing on it
Quiz today – Who is this and where? hint I took this photo in 1972.
===========================================
Emily is in Texas – but didn’t have a gun!! so no problem!!
A blast from the past – 1971 Alberta Trial – the old guy when he wasn’t quite so old – won this one but fell after the last section and broke my leg!!! ( Note ! No gloves !! snow and rain on the day)
========================================
Here is a neat shot of Sammy with his Sherpa T – I think I saw Brian Higgins riding that in the 1972 Scottish
Did you know that as a young club rider, I rode in Trials that were won by Sammy and also World Road Race Champ Geoff Duke – then in later years rode the 200 Mile Moose Mountain Cross Country that World MX Champ and also winner of the Scottish – Jeff Smith. was on the line. – Hard to believe now looking back at these old memories. ( No they didn’t need to worry about me)
==========================================
Jordi was honored at the last FIM Trial celebrating the 50th anniversary – along with others who have won World Championship events. ( It became World- in 1975 and that first title was won by Martin Lampkin) – Hard to believe that we put on that first one in Canada at a time when the sport was changing.
=====================================
Don’t forget we are now only one week away – you won’t want to miss this one. – ( Sorry my poster turned out crappy – yes that’s me on one of my many Beta Evo 200’s)
Remember we will have both a Beta 200 and a TRS Xtrack at the trial and yes they are for sale!! – Plus a van full of other goodies – so bring your cash and cheque books.
===============================
Another flashback to one of our mountain excursions – not sure who the rider is.
============================================
Here’s an old one – Top of Joss when we had quite a group – left to right Mark Thompson – Terry Bainbridge, Steve Richardson myself at the back next to John Deary – Taff – Banjo Bobby – plus Markus and in the front dear old Jimmy (rip) Paul and Gerry. – We lucked out with the weather that year.
