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

Answer to the last quiz – Dick Mann and Dave Aldana – brilliant “All rounders” but I think only Dick rode a few Trials.

Harlow, Brett and Bob -Pete Varey all got this one.

Quiz today. – Who on what? ( An old one)

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

Belated Birthday Greetings to Mark Cahill – A very good Trials rider and Canadian Champ, who also excels in ISDE type events – in fact he will be on the Canadian Team again this year.

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

I see the Quebec lads have got a video out on You Tube.

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

We watched some of the Hurst Cup video on You Tube – one of the oldest Trials events on the Calendar in Ireland. – It was Sammy Miller’s Stomping ground and he won this a number of times.

It used to be a World Round, but has now turned the page and caters to the Classic club riders. – We saw that Steve Saunders and Tony Scarlett were riding this year, with Saunders looking brilliant in the mud sections as usual.

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

NEWS!! The new 2026 Beta Sincro bikes will be available in very limited quantities at the end of this month, and are already getting very good comments, – but if you want one better call really quickly. – We do plan on having one to show at the Naramata Trial on April 5th ( I will not be there on the 4th as it’s my wife’s birthday)

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

The new TRS models have been out for a while and the new injection model already looking good in the videos – Dean Wandler has posted one practicing his hopping around in his backyard. (He loves it)

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

Here is a classic shot of Arthur Lampkin who died last week – a very popular man, who excelled in both Trials and Moto X – he won the Scottish Six Day Trial, as did brothers Martin and Alan, plus of course young Dougie. – The Lampkin story has been told many times, but sadly we now close out on another chapter – Cheers Arthur – you deserved that pint.

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

Birthday greetings today to Florian from Revelstoke – it would be nice to see him out on a Beta like this again – Come on Flo buy yourself a nice birthday present!! A

Great photo – but not one of mine.
