Mornin’ Bloggers !!! Hope your weekend went well and everybody stayed “Cool” a better time for boating in the Okanagan than Trials riding. Although I did get out with Barry lots of times in the heat, back in the day – usually very early around 6.30 am – always good days to stop for a cool one later at Luigi’s Pub in Kelowna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Answer to the last quiz – John Moffat the Scottish “Trials Guru” and the guy who has sent those red caps to people around the world he thinks have done a lot to promote the Sport – Yes I got the first one in Canada, which came as a surprise, plus John posted my story on his website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course Brett got that quickly as did Roger Boothroyd – Roger also sent some pics from the Boomer Trial ( see below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a couple taken by Dale Coull – top Gary Nordstrom riding in his final Trial before calling it a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And another of Ryan Bell also on one of the popular TY Yams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meanwhile in Europe they have completed some Championships<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is Luca Petrella who won on the new Beta Sincro Factory model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

And Alicia Soyer who won the Ladies Class on the TRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Quiz today – Guess who?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

Check out this pic from the Reeth # Day Trial – They had 250 entrees – The reason perhaps is that the event features a long 40 mile loop in the Yorkshire Countryside – sensible natural sections. – The way Trials should be!!!! (IMHO)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It was interesting chatting to the family from Sask via.South Africa about the Trials of today., the Dad agreed with our philosophy that the family events and a nice loop is way more enjoyable, perhaps this is how they run things in the Capetown area. – Not that there isn’t a place for Trials “Stunt” shows, but I think they should be on a limited scale to promote what the sport is all about. – I’m guessing that not many of the new riders getting into trials have any knowledge of the History. – I really hope the sport doesn’t end up all “Hop & Bop”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will have to wait and see if they can get some interest back in Southern Sask – limited terrain of course, but never say never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember selling a Sherco to some guys from Saskatoon at a Calgary Motorcycle Show years ago – they strapped it on the roof of their Caddy to transport home!!!! Yup it takes all sorts. – ( I wish I had a photo of that)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

NEWS – We can still get a couple of the exciting new Beta Sincro models – but better be quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Looking for one of the brilliant TRS ? you need to order NOW for the 2027 models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
