Answer to the last quiz – A young Mike Hailwood on the James he learned to ride around the family estate.
Neil Carter and David Brooks guessed it – maybe like me they have the Hailwood book.
Quiz today – Name these Spanish Trials riders.
============================================
Nice to see Triumph starting to get the name back up into the Competition events. – Latest to join is Sam Sutherland – 2 time Dakar winner.
=====================================
Here is another shot of Sammy at the London show, as usual, his classic bikes and show booth are very Professional. – Having done a ton of shows over the years, I can tell you that it’s very tiring, and Sammy ain’t no spring chicken – Hope he has a cot inside that display behind him!!
==========================================
Now this is a classic shot – Larry Huffman interviewing Bob Hanna – who remembers those great TV shows like – Two Wheel Tuesday?? – I remember Huffman was at the Big MX at Blackfoot Park in Calgary, back in 1969 – covered for “Wild World of Sports” Was it Johny Esaw who promoted that TV show? ( Harlow might remember)
=======================================
I watched a good video of the 2025 Colmore Trial yesterday – Rob Warner rode it on a Honda and it was, as always, – a mudfest. – very popular, as it’s a one long loop with 40 sections ( Perfect)
=====================================
We haven’t seen any action shots or results from the Lewisport trial Stateside last weekend, and don’t know if any Cannucks headed South. I know Rob Heagle mentioned he might go.
======================================
We saw a few clips of the Alberta boys doing their stuff in a horse-barn last weekend – Brave lads as the temperature outside was -29.-and they needed the door open!!
==========================================
Here’s a “Blast from the Past” a snowy day trial we put on at East Kelowna around 1986 – Lots of interest back then, but none of these people compete anymore, although i think a couple still have trials bikes. ( I took the pic)
=========================================== And here is a snow/trial pic by Shaun Watson of Bob Clark at Ioco on the new TRS back in 2018
