For those who don’t know – the pic above shows me wearing the first Trials Guru cap presented to anyone in Canada, only others at this point in time are Dave Butler and Michael Traves. – It also shows me wearing a T shirt from that first ever FIM World Trial we put on in Canada. The plaque on the wall is from Wales!! ( nothing to do with bikes) – I never did get a T shirt from the Trial until last year when I got one given to me,

Answer to the last quiz – A young Sammy Miller at the 1954 Scottish Six Day Trial – Sammy was riding his own homemade bike and rode it from Belfast to Scotland – then finished the 6 day event and rode the bike back to Ireland – Just think about that!!!! – Pete Varey got that one first, then Roger Boothroyd.
Quiz today – This guy used to be a very good Trials rider, but who is it??

This might be the most famous photograph taken at The Scottish Six Day Trial – It was taken by Peter Howdle, and show Gordon Jackson taking that solitary “Dab” at the 1961 Trial – Of special interest for Canadian bloggers, is the young Checker on the left who marked that card, David Johnson, later moved to Canada, and at one time had a small Montesa Dealership in Calgary.. He still lives there.
