Yesterday we had a nice long chat with Jamie Mcgregor from Ontario, Jamie bought the #99 Gold TRS from us a few years ago, and we caught up on all his latest news. – He still loves the Goldie and prefers it to some others he has tried, but Jamie also has a long history in Motorcycle sport, road racing and Trials, plus he rode the Scottish Six Day Trial in 1999.
Here is a pic of that Goldie – Jamie really wanted this, because it was #99 -Wayne Gretzky famous number, and Jamie is friends with the family. – ( Another bike that I had planned on keeping!!)

( remember all the homes were heated by coal fires then)
