<\/figure>\n\n\n\n=======================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will celebrate however, by going for a ride as the weather is supposed to be brilliant today. ( I will get some pics) – I have cheated a bit by fitting a seat to my TRS 125! – The Welsh flag you see showing the Welsh dragon is one I brought back from the 1983 ISDE in Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n =======================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer to the last quiz was – Stunt rider Jason Finn on the brilliant 1994 Beta Techno – We sold Barry the first one of these, but then he broke his leg at work and had to sell it, so it went to the Grand Forks area. -Pete Varey got this as did Bob Clark. – Peter from OZ mailed to say he still has his Beta from all those years ago!! – Some might recall the great VHS video of Takumi Narita on one of these bikes – I really liked that model – except for the crappy kickstart lever.
