=================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer to the last quiz – Jean Luc Nictou – on a sweet sounding Triumph twin – He still rides brilliant on the Classic scene. – Brett had the answer about 2 seconds after I posted it, followed by Bob – then Harlow – Jeesh our bloggers are getting “quick on the draw” – Later Peter from Oz also got in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today. – We have no idea who the rider is, but what is the Trials bike????<\/p>\n\n\n\n

==========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have had some big floods back in Wales – here is a shot of the River Dee in Llangollen ( pronounced Thlangothllen) – they have also had to cancel some trials in Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

===========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a Bultaco advt from 1975 – a time when Spanish bikes were on the verge of losing their top spot in the Trials market. – So many manufacturers have gone over the past 30-40 years -we could likely fill a blog page with them all. – However, with the Classic scene now being super hot in Europe (ie Spain) – It has seen the rebirth of many bikes from the past – all now selling for 2-3 times their original price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As posted before – we rode Bultaco in the early 70’s before we joined Yamaha – the best one we had was the 73 Sherpa T 325 but this pic is the first one I bought riding the first ever Alberta long distance Trial in the Forestry South of Calgary in 1970.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

============================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, I had the first NEW Bultaco, back in 1999 – before they changed the name to Sherco. – ( Because the owner did not want to pay Royalty’s to the Bulto family -or so the story goes) – Below is me on that bike, at Kelowna watched by Barry and Paul ( Yes I made it- it was steep) – We sold the new bike for Mountain MC until 2012, before we dropped the line when the Factory changed the Importer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps an interesting footnote to this story, is that it was me that phoned Don Clark, when I saw all the info posted about this NEW Bultaco coming out – I told him I thought it would sell very well and he should Import it- because so many old Trials riders were big fans of the original Sammy Miller bike. – ( I was right and we sold a lot)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
