I just had to post this!!!!!

=====================================

It was too hot for us to go riding yesterday, so we just looked after a new Kelowna customer – then clicked onto the You tube channel – watched the F1 from Hungary – then the British Enduro Championship round from Wales – Wow! those guys were hauling!!!

=====================================

I saw a post about some of the Alberta Trials guys planning a ride at Elko this weekend, and thought I would post this pic of our old pal Jimmy Corkle on one of our rides up Rabbit Mountain located at the back of his place. That is my “New” 1999 Bultaco in the foreground.

I called on Jimmy a lot when I was travelling and we spent many hours trying to solve the starting issues with that first 2005 Sherco 320 4T. – Yes our 6 pages of notes were well received by the factory and many of Jimmy’s suggestions were incorporated in the later 2008 model – they did not bring it out in 06/07)

Jimmy was a great friend and we still miss him.

Below Jimmy came on one of our mountain rides – here he is showing me the altitude ( he was always into the hi-tech stuff)

And here is Jimmy relaxing by the river with Banjo Bobby and Paul Throssell.
