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

Answer to the last quiz – The fairings on the Road race bikes of the mid 1950’s were called “Dustbins” by the British Press. -( What the Brits call their Garbage Cans) – These were later banned by the FIM because they proved to be very dangerous in cross winds – especially at the TT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had quite a few correct guess’s for this. – Pete Varey got in first then Harlow and Bob – followed by Steve O’Rorke and Peter from OZ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today – Guess who? – ( A tough one)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Last night, I clicked onto the You Tube video posted by Trystan Hart of the Hawaai Hard Enduro – This is very long (2 hours plus) and shot with a Go Pro – I really enjoyed it as it showed just how tough the event was, but also reminded me of the 1973 Moose Mountain Cross Country in Alberta ( Back when only a handful of riders ever finished) – Not by comparison but – I did send Walter my recollection of this event, as it was certainly a toughie. ( It was my 2nd Cross Country race – I rode it the previous year but seized my Bultaco soon after the start)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi again Walter – Re that 73 Moose – it was a real gong show – I was on the line with Bob Sadownick and noticed my gas tap was leaking – so I dashed back to the camp grabbed some sealer and was working on the side of the bike while Bob held it up ( no side stand) then the shotgun went off and Bob let go my bike which fell on top of me – by the time I got going I was dead last!! – However not long after the start they had a big steep muddy hill and there were bikes everywhere, so I just rode to one side over fallen tree etc – passed about 50 –  – then we came to a deep river crossing and all these idiots were just jumping in and being swept downstream – I rode up the bank until I saw a sandbar in the middle –  got to that and downstream to the exit – passing a bunch on the bank (including Rudy Zasko) bikes upside down!!  – they were still there when I went around on the 2nd 50 mile loop. -what a tough day that was. As you could see by my pic at the finish!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ah yes crazy times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is top the start line with my Bultaco near camera on right side. 150 riders on the line. (that is Barb Sadownick in red (rip))<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The finish – you can see just how knackered I was – but Babsy seemed happy!! – That is Bob Sadownick behind on a Bultaco Alpina – he finished ahead of me – ( I got 3rd Open bike 6th overall out of about 10 – 12 finishers) Wish we had Go Pro back then!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
