Quiz today Guess who and what bike?

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

We have often said that the sport of Trials riding, is a “Family Affair” and there can’t be any more successful than the Lampkin/Hemingway families. – Here is a nice Neil Sturgeon shot of the group at Fort William on a nice sunny day by the Loch.

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

With the upcoming Outlaw Trial being held on Crown land ( for the most part) Spark Arrestors have been listed – we have a few that fit the Beta Evo and a lesser amount for the TRS, so if you need one – better shout up quickly ( These are the new wide mesh type)

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

Thinking about how the Outlaw Trial got started – I came across this old pic – in 1986, we erected a makeshift “PUB” at the top of one big hill near Kelowna and I stashed some beer up there for when the Vintage guys finished on the Saturday. – Needless to say this proved to be quite popular, and we carried on the tradition when we moved the event to Summerland – I remember one year I loaned Adrian Brown one of my TY 250’s and he made sure he was first up the “Shale Climb” to grab the first brew. That was also the year that Jimmy Corkle had a crash and showed up with his head wrapped in flagging tape!! ( Both gone now but what great guys) – I wonder if the “Pub” is still up there?
