Answer to the last quiz – Lindsay Baker on his Suzuki RL at a demo Barry put together at East Kelowna – As you can see by the pic – Barry didn’t get the balance point quite right, so the early riders reached the end before the thing pivoted !! I should have waited to click the shutter for that one!!! Lindsay is from new Zealand and moved to Edmonton many years ago.
Quite a few got the answer – Brett, Bob, Harlow, also Kevin Couves who rode that day on his Montesa.
Quiz today – Guess who ?
======================================
Here is a bit of History – Jeff Smith later moved to the States but not sure where he lives at the moment.
============================================
There is an old saying that if a bike “Looks right” it likely performs well, and that could certainly be said about the BSA Gold Star – seen here in “Clubman’s” trim. – We never did own or get a ride on one of these, but it was probably the best selling model back in the 1950’s.
=====================================
Here is a blast from the past – I think this was one of the first New Bultaco’s we sold in 1999. – I delivered it to Gord Lalonde and took this pic of him trying it out on his property South West of Calgary.
Gord and Donna later moved to Australia, where he still rides bikes and lives on a very large 275 acre property outside Brisbane, which he calls “Dirt bike heaven”

Nice to see the snow has pretty much all gone from the yard today – I might even take one of the bikes for a warm up!!
