Almost Spring !!! – Time to order your new Beta or TRS !!! Yes we have some super deals happening – but remember 2026 will be a year of low Importer Inventories due to the unstable monetary market. – SO WHY WAIT FOR SPRING ? Do it NOW. – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to tell you that this was the slogan I saw at all the car dealerships in Calgary back in 1965 when we arrived in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Answer to that last quiz – a young Ryon Bell – my photo but can’t remember where I took it – maybe at the Postil Lake National near Kelowna. – Harlow got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today – Not Trials – But what did the Brits, call these road race fairings from the mid 1950’s??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Rob Heagle from Kelowna who just joined our OK Trials group – took in one of Ryan Young’s schools while down South – Ryan is one of the best teachers and we supplied him with a bike for a couple of schools he did in Canada .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We heard from Roger Boothroyd that the VMC Trial last Sunday was a blast with a good rider turn out of close to 50 in total – this included a bunch of new kids which is encouraging. We hope to get some pics of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Another “Blast from the Past” This was when we got the first 1994 Gas Gas – This was a good bike and we sold a lot, although I do recall that the first trial I rode it in- I leaned the bike against a bank and the rear fender snapped!! ( some things never change)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see I’m wearing the Anson riding pants that we had made in the UK at that time – great quality and price – I met Dave Anderson and his wife at the 1993 Scottish and also again in 1995 – when he told me he no longer supplied the gear because the Europeans were killing him on price – ( He also had Dougie Lampkin wearing them)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

As mentioned we have been sorting through a lot of old files recently – below is one of Jordi’s Outfit at the 1989 Scottish – and then one of him after he exited an early section, on the Prototype Beta Zero. – As reported earlier 89 was a really bad weather year in Scotland and the new water-cooled bike had the radiator plug with good old Scottish mud and the bike seized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
