Answer to the last quiz Mattio Grattarolla – Bob Clark got it.
Quiz today – Most of our older bloggers have heard of the JCM Motorcycle – but what does JCM stand for?
============================================
And for something different – being an old sod I have been lucky enough to meet quite a few important Motorcycle people. -Plus being a bit short on news today!!!
World Champions that I have been privileged to meet and shake their hand.
Geoff Duke – World Road Race Champion
Steve Baker – World Road Race Champion
Kenny Roberts -World Road race Champion
Martin Lampkin -World Trials Champion
Yrjo Vesterinen – World Trials Champion
Dougie Lampkin -World Trials Champion
Jordi Tarres – World Trials Champion

Of course Trials was called the European Championship before 1975 – and that was when Mick Andrews won it. – Lots of Hand shakes and laughs with Mick.

Here are the results from the Lomax National Trial I was in back in the 1950’s – -no you will not find me listed!!! I was likely still out on the Moors by the time they got these printed!! (bike issues)
Below a memory of when Interlube and Opti helped a lot of top riders and teams in Canada. – ( Note we were still living in Kelowna then)
And a reminder that you don’t always need to have 10ft rock walls for Trials sections!!!
Before the factories thought they needed huge transporters for their star riders !!!
======================================
Not sure how many of our bloggers click onto You Tube – but they have had a bunch of the old Kickstart videos showing lately – neat to see all these young kids who later became super stars in the Trials world – – You will also see Stan Bakgaard as well.
