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

Good morning bloggers, here we are heading into another weekend, and still no white stuff outside, which is great!! but already a lot just 15minutes away up the hill at Silver Star – it reminded me of the time we explored that area with Andrew Christiansen, to check out the possibilities for a Championship Trial in conjunction with his hare scramble weekend. – likely the only time Trials bikes have been up there. – The idea was to have spectators able to get to the high sections by the gondola!! -However, in the end I decided to cancel the plan, as there would have been too much other stuff going on that weekend. ( But it would have been neat) – We did have Sammy doing his stunts there which went over well. – Since that time all Motorcycle activities have been banned up on the mountain, because of complaints by local residents. ( And the Mountain bike guy didn’t want us spoiling his trails – what a joke!!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have had a few pics and video from the Costa Rica intro – sent by Harry McKay, but I think this top pic courtesy Trial Mag UK – also gives an idea just how huge this event is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know Harry checks out our blog, and we also know, he had some great times riding Trials with us in Canada for a couple of years – Here is a pic of him at a Trial in Fruitvale BC – that water was deep, as the rider in the background soon found out – poor Neil Mandeville took a bath. – ( Babsy took this pic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a pic of Harry and Wendy at a Scottish trial – both their youngsters also compete, as well. a real family affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Answer to the last quiz was Andreu Codina on a Montesa, before his Gas Gas and Sherco days. – Harlow, and Bob Clark got this quickly. We met Andreu when he was over for the World Trial in Donner. – I remember asking him if the sea level in Spain was different to North America – he looked puzzled and wondered why the question? – I said because we have a box full of 30 pilot jets for the Gassers which we have to change to make them run, when we get them, out of the crates!! – also! did you know that we supplied 300 Gas Gas (Outlaw) Handlebar cross bar pads to the Gas Gas factory? ( After that they got them made in Spain)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today – Who is this rider? ( A tough one for most) Hint – the trial was in Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
