Quiz today – guess who

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

The Costa Brava is now in full swing, and we have seen some brilliant video clips – really liked the Nictou Triumph twin. – Weather looks nice but quite blustery by the ocean.

The one thing that seems prevalent – is while obviously some take the event quite seriously, most are there just for the fun and the meeting up with old friends – just checking out all the beautiful old bikes would be worth the trip.

Below we see Jean Luc Nictou sharing a laugh with Naomi Monnier, who is riding the event for the first time, on an ex Diego Bosis Montesa.

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

Most of our bloggers will be familiar with the name Harlow!! but maybe some of the newer trials riders don’t know that he has an extensive background in the sport, both riding and reporting on for decades, both in Alberta, where he was one of the originators of the ATRA, plus a Beta dealer for Don Clark for a while, before moving to the Island. – Harlow keeps his fleet of bikes in immaculate condition and has just added a nice TRS estart to his collection..

Below Harlow on his Beta up on the hill at Cochrane Alberta.

We got this pic sent by Peter LeGrove from OZ ( he always checks the blog) This was Sammy in OZ after his first trip to Canada, when we supplied him with a bike and gear – he is wearing the Wulf Helmet which he took back with him. ( Check out that front pipe)

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

I watched some of the FI from Vegas last night – interesting that they still seem to find a ton of money for this sport / but then again some people are paying thousands of dollars to see some young female on stage – strange world we are living in.
