Answer to our last quiz – Phillipe Berlattier – otherwise known as the “The Bear” former World Round rider, famous for tackling a big German Observer for giving him a “5” – These days Phillipe rides the Classic trials, but is also the French TRS Importer. – A few got this with Brett first in as usual.
We received an email from John Kitchener who attached this “You Tube” clip of riding the Moors in the Scottish Six Day Trial. – John knows we have always been advocates of long loop Trials , which test what the sport was always intended, – The Reliability of the machine and the Stamina of the rider. ( This was always a “Must” for the Outlaw Trial.) – Plus of course that first Canadian FIM World Round with a 69 mile course.
===========================================
Just saw this old article in my files – a time when we put on a Trials demo at the Apex Ski Resort – Luke hauled all our obstacles down on a Trailer – It was quite a “Hoot” – The Hog riders really enjoyed watching from the deck while sipping a beer.
========================================
And finally a reminder that bikes have improved a tad!! this is a 1922 Norton.
