=====================================
Good morning Trials fans – another Friday and perhaps many of you will be looking forward to a weekend riding ? – Still no snow in the forecast although the weather gurus in Revelstoke are saying it will be a heavy snow winter ( Perhaps they are in the Ski or sled business?) – We already have our Opti Snowmobile oil on order.
Answer to the last quiz – Don Smith with his homebuilt “Stag” at the Scottish – story had it that Smith was trying to get a better deal from one of the Trials bike factories so showed up with this one!!
Quiz today. Guess who? – Seems like a strange choice of words with Bultaco being their main competitor!!
============================================
We saw quite a lot of posts about Sammy’s 92nd birthday and lots of pics – but here are a couple I really like – the top one shows him on that first Bultaco Sherpa.T the bike that changed the sport of Trials forever and a time when we acted as his Canadian dealer listed in his Trials spares catalogue. – The bottom pic was taken of him riding GOV 132 – the 500cc Ariel that he won so many events on. – The section looks like Laggan Locks, in Scotland.
===========================================
It’s Philippe Berlatier’s birthday today a former World Class rider, perhaps famous for his fight with the big German Observer back in the day ( all caught on VHS) – Here he is with good friend Jordi and he is of course the TRS Importer for France – He also still rides Classic Trials ( A champion in that class on a Bultaco)
======================================
Today is what they call “Black Friday” with the stores all offering deals on stuff – a reminder that at Outlaw, we have the best deals EVERY DAY. – Christmas is coming so buy early.
