How about this wintery pic taken in 1947 in Yorkshire UK – I was 10 years old at that time and remember just how much snow we had, in Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously the most important job was to clear a path to the local pub!!! ( Bet the Lampkin family was in the line up!!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Another more modern pic from Wales, showing just how beautiful our old home Country is – back then we could ride our Trials bikes just about anywhere – but now the “Green people” have taken over a lot of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

An interesting pic – shows UK rider Jack Peace taking a “Dab” – However – the checker on this section, would have been watching carefully to see if he did in fact drag his foot -which would have then counted for a “Three” – Of course a lot of top riders, think they can put a foot down and take a five minute break and still claim a “One”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

( And they wonder why new people are baffled- Jeepers)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

So over the Holiday, I have browsed a number of You Tube videos – most are filmed by amateurs so the content leaves a lot to be desired. – We still have a ton of VHS tapes and DVD’s – which really are well done – Bennett ones are really good. – We also have a number we did when we broke into the video world, which show local Trials. – However, we have given a lot away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I must confess that I find all the new Hop & Bop World round stuff quite boring – but some of the UK events are still setting up sections as they should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

So with all this nice mild weather, the question is “Who has been out riding?” and if you have ,why haven’t you sent me pics???? (Grrrr)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Roger has sent me the results of the Boxing day Trial in Victoria, but I’ve not been able to download them yet – my new computer is amazing but refuses to take my commands on some stuff!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

As most of our fans know – we have now been selling Beta for 30 years – !!!! Yes that’s a long time, and while we do not sell the Enduro bikes any more – we did when Mountain MC were the Importers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about these pics of older Beta MX bikes ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

And finally another old Bultaco poster showing Mart Lampkin <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

QUIZ – Who – where on What??<\/p>\n\n\n\n
