Answer to the last quiz Pascal Couturier – former World rider, and winner of the Japanese Championship one year – He now rides vintage on big bikes !!! Brett and Bob got it as did Neil Carter
Quiz today – Guess who?
============================================
The Pre 65 event is on in Scotland and here is a pic of Harry McKay on the left – not sure who is on the right, but they are in some pretty good company as that fella at the back has won this event a few times, and also came very close to winning the Six Days one year.
Next week riders will tackle this section – called Witch’s Burn – a very steep rocky waterfall, that Harry was practicing on a few years ago – he stalled the bike at the top and when he kickstarted it again – it fired in reverse and he shot back off the ledge!! – yes Harry has a lot of good stories and no doubt will have more after this weekend.
The old pic below shows Dan Hemmingway looking good at the top. – Next week he will ride with his brother Ben and the hot shot young Hemmo lads Harry and George plus the Lampkin cousins – Dougie, and his two lads – that should be quite a party.
Note! We spectated at Witches Burn one year and it really is quite terrifying for club riders. – Many just punch a “5”
===========================================
In West Coast news – it’s the Ladies Extravaganza at Ioco this weekend – Katie will be at that on her new Beta Factory Evo and will post us some pics later.
And in local news the Long weekend is not far away, and that means the Famous long running Outlaw Trial which this year returns to Summerland – as usual this is a Two day Trial with long loops and classes for everybody including Vintage both Saturday and Sunday.
Who will get their name on this famous trophy for 2025?
