Answer to the last quiz – Bruce Brown – the guy who made the movie “On Any Sunday” – which was a huge success and likely the reason a lot of youngsters got into Motorcycling. – It starred (and was financed) by Steve McQueen – When you look at all the camera equipment available today, compared to back then- some really amazing footage. All our usual “Bloggers” got this plus Harold from Alberta !!! Nice to see a lot of people still enjoying the “Blog”
Quiz today. Who is this Cowboy??
=====================================
The weather in the Valley is still quite nice – typical “Fall” so I’m sure a lot of riders are getting out riding – I see that a few riders are out already on the all new TRS injector model with very good comments. – A reminder that if you want one of these – you need to order from us soon!!! ( For delivery in March)
Of course for the people who like snow!! it’s a time for checking the mountains and maybe the sled market or snow-bikes – We have just placed our winter Opti injector oil order as this is very popular.

Here’s an interesting pic we saw posted from the last Ontario Trial – seems Les Birchall has got himself a nice new Triumph Cub. ( I bet that wasn’t cheap!!) – Looks like a SWM in the truck at the back.
============================================
Here is a bit of Yamaha History – I was lucky enough to be working for Yamaha Motor Canada through all those exciting times and was very involved with the race department run by Bob Work. – Note the comments on the YTZ Trials bike ridden by Mick Andrews, which featured the first Fuel Injection system ( actually called a pumper carb from a snowmobile)
Of course the mono-shock suspension invented by Tilkins – and picked up by Yamaha, after Suzuki turned him down – was a game changer in the Moto-Cross world.
