Below is a Photo of our late friend Bucky Johnson, taken at the 1978 Moose Mountain Cross Country – pic by Harlow. – I remember that I had a YZ 400 for that but the bike was so quick I decided to quit before I hurt myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another time we were all out West of Cochrane AB – riding the snowmobile trails – I recall that day I was on a Walt Healy XT 500 stripped down and studded up, which proved to be the best bike that day, as the two strokes were spinning a lot. – Murray Nutt and Bucky were with us plus John Arcand and a guy we called Shultzy. So here we are at the top of this cut line in deep snow, trying to figure out which way to go – and Bucky says – You know I think we brought the wrong machines today – we should be on snowmobiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We lost touch with Bucky many years ago, but we had some good times back in the day, sadly other Cross Country racers from that era are now also gone. – John Arcand – Ron Harvey – Mel Skaar -Eldon Eady – Ed McDonald -Al Perrett – Wayne Green – Danny Amor – Dean McFaddon -plus others . – At least we have some great memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer to the Monday quiz – Diego Bosis – the Trials super star who died of a heart attack at age 41. – Brett, Pete Varey, Harlow, and Neil Carter all got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, we got a message from Heath in the UK telling us that people have been having trouble reading the blog on their phones as the size is not updating or something. – I’ve emailed Bob to sort that for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

QUIZ – Who is this BSA rider ??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I watched a video clip on You Tube yesterday of Steve Colly’s stunt show put on in Kinlochlevan Scotland – it says it was posted 7 days ago – but anyway – rather surprisingly Colley went over the bars early in the program after doing a nose wheelie. – We have heard he has had a few crashes doing these shows – and it’s a reminder that our own stunt riders have sometimes paid the price for putting on a show for the spectators. ( for little money) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
