Answer to the last quiz – rider watching Taff was Todd Nordin – Brett, Jay Colley, and Stan were quick to get that one..- Plus Taff said it was Toddy watching him clean that section!!!

Quiz today – Who is this Famous rider, a factory Trials rider for Norton before taking up road racing – unusual pic on a DOT. – Also ! What does DOT stand for?

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

A lot of people posted how they were impressed with the pic of Stan on the Evo 200, so here is another one – Yup that’s a big rock!! I wonder what gear he used?

Roger Boothroyd sent me this pic of the days when “Scrambling” in the UK often was held on very muddy tracks in the winter months. Arthur Lampkin and Jeff Smith are good friends and both still alive.

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

Great to see some widespread rain in BC – hopefully this will help the firefight going on over at Vancouver Island and other places.

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

Did you know that Vertigo make a submarine?

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

As our regular bloggers know, one of my favorite bikes these days, is the TRS estart-fitted with the Xtrack kit – but long before this came on the market, Beta had this really great model that should have sold in droves!! – the ALP was fitted with a seat and larger gas-tank, and a closer range tranny, – we really liked it – all except the short stubby kickstart lever. – We always regret selling this bike.

Below is our TRS 250 estart – fitted with the Xtrack kit
