We hope that most of our readers got out at the weekend either riding or just taking in the fresh air – For this old guy – I’m afraid it was a lazy day, just watching TV – The Super X from Stateside, was on which I found quite interesting – has to be the first MX I’ve watched for years – later while on my computer – I noticed a link to a recent Sammy Miller tape, in which he rides both his NSU and Gilera – not too shabby at age 90 – Sammy followed this up with a tour of all his racing bike collection, simply unbelievable – and also brought back memories for me as I saw Sammy race in the Isle of Man and also saw some of these exotic machines in their prime – including the V8 Moto Guzzi. – I also took another look at that last Sammy Accessory Catalogue and noticed that we were listed as his Canadian Dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the center pages of the program we printed up for the Sammy Miller Trial in Alberta many years ago – as mentioned previously we had a Photo Engraved Image of Sammy on the Premier Trophy which I made personally and which was supposed to be an annual award. Unfortunately who ever won it that first year forgot to return it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer to the Sunday quiz – The rider is Spanish star Tino Marin, riding my Beta Evo 200 at a Blackfoot Park Trial. – Not that this was planned – I happened to see Tino while I was lined up at the gate to the Park, and asked him if he was riding – (He was being sponsored by another dealer at that time.) – He said no as they didn’t have a bike for him ! – so I told him I had my 200 demo in the van which he could ride if he wanted to. – As it turned out Tino lost only one point that day and was pretty impressive – most of the other riders were quite surprised when I told them the bike was a 200. – ( Some sharp eyed guys might notice I had an S3 header pipe on this one. – We lost touch with Tino after he moved back East and at last report was flying a Global TV Helicopter .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jay Colley was once again first in with the correct answer, followed by Brett who got it at his 2nd guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QUIZ today – Who is this rider – hint – this pic was taken at an early 70’s Lethbridge Trial – But the rider later moved to Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
