Answer to the last quiz – Dave Thorpe at our FIM Trial in 1975 – another pic by Harlow Rankin – but surprisingly Pete Varey got it first.
Thorpe was always a top contender in world trials, but perhaps more famous for winning the Pre 65 Scottish a total of 5 times – his son Dan, has carried on the winning tradition and has been a Shirty sponsored Gas Gas rider for many years.
Quiz today – Who is this Montesa rider

Who remembers the Ellgren Trials clothing ? It was promoted by 3 time World Champ Eddie Lejeune, but we sold it also back before Anson and Wulf.
Here we are in Ellgren Shirt and Anson/Outlaw pants – I think we still have those kicking around someplace. -(The great UK made clothing seems to last forever)
