Answer to the Thursday quiz – Smilin’ Davy Fair !! – an easy one for most as Dave has been around the Motorcycle scene for a lot of years. – First correct was Cam Whiffing from Ontario. followed by Donny Rankin ! – Brett Clark & Bob – then Steve ORorke and Jay Colley & Stan.
How about this wintery pic taken in 1947 in Yorkshire UK – I was 10 years old at that time and remember just how much snow we had, in Wales.
Obviously the most important job was to clear a path to the local pub!!! ( Bet the Lampkin family was in the line up!!)
Another more modern pic from Wales, showing just how beautiful our old home Country is – back then we could ride our Trials bikes just about anywhere – but now the “Green people” have taken over a lot of this.
===============================
An interesting pic – shows UK rider Jack Peace taking a “Dab” – However – the checker on this section, would have been watching carefully to see if he did in fact drag his foot -which would have then counted for a “Three” – Of course a lot of top riders, think they can put a foot down and take a five minute break and still claim a “One”
( And they wonder why new people are baffled- Jeepers)
============================================
So over the Holiday, I have browsed a number of You Tube videos – most are filmed by amateurs so the content leaves a lot to be desired. – We still have a ton of VHS tapes and DVD’s – which really are well done – Bennett ones are really good. – We also have a number we did when we broke into the video world, which show local Trials. – However, we have given a lot away.
I must confess that I find all the new Hop & Bop World round stuff quite boring – but some of the UK events are still setting up sections as they should be.
============================================
So with all this nice mild weather, the question is “Who has been out riding?” and if you have ,why haven’t you sent me pics???? (Grrrr)
============================================
Roger has sent me the results of the Boxing day Trial in Victoria, but I’ve not been able to download them yet – my new computer is amazing but refuses to take my commands on some stuff!!!
===========================================
As most of our fans know – we have now been selling Beta for 30 years – !!!! Yes that’s a long time, and while we do not sell the Enduro bikes any more – we did when Mountain MC were the Importers.
How about these pics of older Beta MX bikes ?
=======================================
And finally another old Bultaco poster showing Mart Lampkin
