Monday January 12th/26

Another very mild weekend in the weather picture for us in the Valley – always nice but a bit of a worry for the Summer Fire season – Peter from OZ posted to say Fires are a big issue at the moment in Australia.

Answer to the last quiz – Gone too soon Diego Bosis – on his way backwards and big crash – all captured on one of our VHS videos.

Both Pete Varey and Harlow got it

Quiz today – Guess who.

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

Condolences to John Whitby as we just saw that his wife Olive passed away. – John and Olive were a big part of the Calgary Motorcycle Club scene back in the day – daughter Janet still lives in Alberta and is involved with the vintage motorcycle club.

( Check out that lovely old Norton)

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

Here is a good shot of Joe Baker on the new Beta Sincro – He picked the bike up on Thursday – won on Sunday. Joe has been around for a long time in UK Trials.

This reminded me of another story – I took a YZ 125 in trade on a Thursday back in 1985 – then won on it, at my last ever Cross Country race on the Sunday – The Danny Amor Memorial.

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

A rare pic of Mick wearing ear muffs !! must have been cold in the UK. – Check out those ‘Bell bottom” pants. (Looks like most of their big snow has now melted and a few Trials on this weekend)

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

Heath Brindley was out on his nice Sherpa T on Sunday at a local UK Trial – a neat section.

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

Meanwhile up in Scotland – looks like the snow has all melted for the training session they just had – Scottish Champ Jamie Galloway is front and center on his Steve Saunders sponsored TRS.

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

And I wonder how many of our bloggers made New Year’s Resolutions ???
