As you can see by this pic of our front driveway, we have had quite a dump of snow, so again no plans to get out. Luckily we do have a Plough guy to clear this mess, but obviously we have had to postpone bringing in any shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Answer to the Thursday quiz – Malcolm Smith – who was born on Salt Spring Island BC – Malcolm is seen modeling the mirror peak that he used in the Elsnore Grand Prix -made popular in the movie “On Any Sunday” – lots of people bought them for Cross Country racing, only to find they didn’t work at all – Yes I was one. – Harlow was first in but soon followed by Brett and David Brooks – Neil Carter and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

=========================================== Last night I clicked onto You Tube and watched the latest UK Hard Enduro – Johnny Walker had a go pro on his Beta and the footage is really good – the 2nd lap in particular as he passed all the stragglers in narrow creek sections – check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Lots of comments on the latest FIM post about changing to stop allowed at World Trials. – One of the best comments was on face book by Lane Leavitt – Although Lane has perhaps been chastised in the past for “Saying it as it is” – I think he nails this subject pretty good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember back in the day, when some clubs and Trials Marshals didn’t get things right – our old buddy Adrian Brown (rip) would say ” They’ve been watching too many videos” – So I think the bottom line is for everybody hosting events at the club level, needs to always err on the easy side, if they want people to come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Back in Couch Potato mode after clearing some snow yesterday, I clicked onto another one of Sammy Miller’s video’s this time on the rebuild of the Mike Hailwood AJS – I think Sam does an incredible job posting these videos, his knowledge and memory are simply mind boggling. ( He is 90 years old)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Here is an old copy of a Magazine article which mentions that Mick Andrews was awarded the Pinhard Trophy – the one young Jack Galloway now has his name on. – Great History.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Quiz – Name the rider!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Finally – Regular Bloggers will have noticed that we have still not updated the front page of our website to list 2024 models – Sorry for the delay – We hope to get this sorted soon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
