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

We did not have a quiz question yesterday – but the day before showed – Steve Richardson on the TY – watched by Rob Stobart, Chris Wilson and Steve Fracy – The checker is Krash Crumly. – Nobody got this all correct. – but Rob Stobart was close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today – Another blast from the past from our Western Canada collection – Who is this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

A couple of days back – we mentioned how bad the foot pegs were on the old bikes – check this out on Dave Bickers Greeves – those solid bolts would not give much boot grip especially in the muddy scrambles common in the 1960’s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We have often listed Trials bikes from when many factories were trying to promote a Trials model – here is the AJS Stormer model – only about 100 of these were built. (That should get a response from Roy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

No this isn’t a pic of the Okanagan – it’s Wales. – I remember riding a few Trials in the snow back in the 1950’s – and one of these meant riding the bike about 50 miles over the mountains just to get to the start !!!! – I saw that my old local club just put on a Trial and mentioned that people should take extra gas. – Sooo !! I mailed my contact to ask how long the loop was – about 2-3 miles came the reply!!!! – As I have likely mentioned before, the very first Trial I entered as a 16yr old, was 70 MILES – with over 60 sections. – so now you know why I always hosted long loop Trials. – How times have changed ( Except for the Scottish and a couple of others)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to know more about my life in Trials etc – click onto the Trials Guru site and scroll back until you see my story. ( I got one of the first Red Caps and the first in Canada)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Although this concept is not new – ie a Trials bike with a seat etc – there is no doubt that the Jordi bike is very popular, and yes we have sold quite a few, plus had one as a demo for the old guy!! ( With estart of course)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the new 2026 Xtrack model – with or without estart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now look at this pic of me on the Beta Alp ( A bike I should never have sold)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of birthdays to report today – top is Heath Brindley who is our contact in the UK for all things related to TRS – and whose latest project, appears to be working on the Twin shock Classic scene —– ( Think this great shot might be AI – as he is quite a computer buff.) Heath has now gone around the sun 60 times!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And below a shot of Dave Thorpe on Pipeline – an older pic as he is wearing his favorite vintage Helmet. Dave just turned 80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
