Quiz today – Guess who
======================================
I wonder if anybody noticed the bar-pad card holder on the Beta in the Joss pic yesterday – we made these plus a lot of other specialty items for both Trials and enduro back in the day, plus we sold a zillion snowmobile tank bags -and toolbelts – sadly these were very labor intensive with very little profit. ( Our Bag lady retired so no longer available)
======================================
Quite a few of our Outlaw Toolbelts ended up in the UK with riders like Mick Andrews, and Dougie Lampkin – John Moffit, etc – below is one used by Heath Brindley sitting on the seat of a very nice Majesty – “Mick Andrews – John E Shirt – TY .
============================================
Not sure when this pic was taken, but it shows Mick visiting Trials Bike museum in Austria. – I keep saying that one of these days I need to stop in at Dream Cycle Museum on the way to the Shuswap – we have heard this is a good place to see a lot of old bikes – think he has a Sherpa T that I sold years ago.
==========================================
Not sure if any of our bloggers click onto the FIM stuff – but like most old timers – it makes me mad when they refer to a Trial – as a Race. Plus the new FIM rules seem dumb. – On a positive note, we heard that our old Club in the UK had 90 riders at their Trial last Sunday – all natural sections !!! Got to be a message there.
==========================================
Here is a nice shot of long time Trials dealer Dave Butler out riding with his Grandson.- That’s a nice Bultaco Sherpa T Dave is on.
=====================================
The Kelowna Home show is happening pretty quick – here is a Flashback to the 1985 show, when Stan and the boys “Wowed” the crowds – Pic shows Stan and Steve doing their – hand shake Wheelie Pass.
========================================== Here is an unusual Trials bike – It’s a McLaren Suzuki – seems the race car builder also had other interests, besides FI.
=======================================
Here is a pic of Mick Wilkinson riding one of the Greeves 175cc Pathfinder models we tested – a wet day somewhere in the UK.
