It’s hard to believe that we have no snow at this time of the year except up high !! – We just hope this doesn’t lead to drought and Fire conditions later. ( But we ‘aint complaining)

============================================
I was chatting yesterday to my Opti Supplier in The USA – we discussed the Political situation with regards to possible Trump Tariffs – but at this point it appears no news is good news. – We have a good stock, and were only ordering more snowmobile oil. However, we advise any of our Opti fans to check what they have, and buy now if you need it – We might have got rid of one big problem in Canada, but the other one South of the border, is unpredictable to say the least.
We now have the Opti 2 mix pouches in small easy to buy or carry .
Note! We have now been the Opti Importer for 38years!!
=======================================
Don’t forget – If you are thinking of buying a new TRS or Beta this year – better shout up quick as these will only be special ordered..

Looking ahead to perhaps a Trial at Summerland – ( This will not be called the Outlaw) – We are sure it will be a huge success – especially if the loop goes by this spot ! – That is Black Mountain in Summerland in the distance.
– I had a section just over my left shoulder, that dropped quite steep, down a rock face then back up with a jump across a gap up onto another rock -. we never used it, but I showed it to the two Brits I had out there, then had Sammy try it first time out on our new Beta. – He didn’t make it, but later I showed it to Brandon Wince and he aced it on his Beta – the only rider to do this to date.

Below you see a pic of Agostini posing with a couple of Ariel Arrow road racers. – the one behind him (gold) looks fairly stock – We had one of our staff Photographers at Woodall’s Newspapers own one of these, and he let me take it for a ride. – I gave the bike a real test, as the two stroke twin would go pretty good. – But while blasting down a Country road outside Oswestry, a wood pigeon wafted over the hedge and struck me in the face ( I figure I was going 70mph plus) – luckily I kept control – and returned the bike undamaged, but I sure had a big bruise on my face.!!! – an Irish guy by the name of Peter Inchley tuned one for the TT races in the Island, but I can’t remember how it finished. – Unfortunately the British Motorcycle Industry was headed downhill at the time.
