Who is this &#8211; he rode both Trials and Scrambles AND who was his famous Brother in law?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"590\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Johnny-Draper-in-mud.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Johnny-Draper-in-mud.jpg 590w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Johnny-Draper-in-mud-300x258.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>==========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather forecast for today is awesome, so Gerry and myself will head out for some fresh air and it will give me a chance to test the new 2026 Beta Sincro 200 &#8211; I will get some pics for tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s ironic that the all new Beta Sincro is right hand kick &#8211; not the best for me as that is my really  bad knee!! I might have to put an estart kit on it. Although the new engine seems easier to kick over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>==========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We got a surprise message from Billy Trayner, who has been living in Arizona now for many years, he says that he still rides and also still on Beta -he says he has a new Sincro but also has a Factory on order.- We hope to get some pics from him. Billy lived in Alberta for a long time and we always had a laugh at events -he is originally from Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>=======================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TRS factory is going full blast, in spite of the poor economy and the effect of the Gasser &#8211; give-a-ways. etc &#8212; However, our first 2026 has been delayed a bit so we will just keep riding our favorite TRS 125 for a few more weeks. ( love that bike &#8211; but we have an estart coming)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"443\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7.png 443w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-7-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>=====================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roger Boothroyd sent us this pic he took of myself, Bob Johns, and Harlow Rankin, at a VMC trial a few years ago. &#8211; I took Sammy to that one when he rode a Beta for us. &#8211; We stayed with Dave Fair and had a really nice weekend.
