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

Well ! I wonder how many of our bloggers remember that this date is one that “Will live in Infamy” – Yes it was on this day in 1941 that the Japanese launched the attack on Pearl Harbor – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Answer to the last quiz – The rider was Alberta Champ Chris Tronnes and I took that pic of him at the Outlaw Trial, when we held it at Greenstone Mountain – Harlow got it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today. Who are the people in this pic and where was it taken?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The FIM are giving out all the 2025 awards this weekend in Switzerland – Here are all the Trials Champs – including one old well dressed guy on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They had quite the display of bikes at the event – including this break-through Beta of 1990 the liquid cooled zero – we are not sure if this was the actual Jordi bike, but it does have the “shorty” tail-pipe that he insisted on. – we heard the factory told him – you are the rider – WE design the bike. !! Well ! how times change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned before, we were at the 1989 Scottish, when Jordi showed up with that new Zero prototype – but retired after day one when the motor seized due to the rad getting plugged with good old Scottish mud. – I have a pic somewhere of the team washing the bike after that first day disaster – the Aprilia team also had issues with their new water-pumper, but the rad on their bike was bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anybody who has been to the Scottish, knows just how unpredictable the weather can be – one year Sammy Miller was just one of a few, who jumped a big wash-out on the moors which stopped half the entry – with so many riders late – the officials scrubbed the time for that day, and this really got Sam mad. ( Can’t recall if he still won on the Ariel that year)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emily posted this nice pic of her riding the Baja – she was the only gal to finish this grueling 6 day event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Here is another ‘flash from the past’ – a pic I took of one of our group rides in the Okanagan – Luke-Barry, Neil (rip) and Ted<\/p>\n\n\n\n
