Mornin’ bloggers – welcome to another hot day in the Valley !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a pic we have posted before of the section at Ioco used in the World Round they held in 1990 – it’s what many are calling “A proper section” “Stanly Falls”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

And here is another “Proper” section – At Greenstone Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless as Harlow used to say ” You have been sleeping under a rock” – you will know that the motorcycle industry is going through some tough times – below is a pic of a British super bike Store that just closed the doors, leaving 273 ( yes that is correct) people out of work. ( Remember Dougie Tanaka’s saying “GO BIG- GO BLOKE”) – Don’t think it can’t happen here!!! As Glen Turple said to me at one time – “I’ve seen em come- and I’ve seen em go”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Yesterday I watched some video footage from the Romaniacs – very interesting to see these guys struggling through some super tough terrain – I think it helps to be be tall and strong to compete at this level – what I found quite incredible was Mani the top guy had the battery go flat on his KTM and with no kickstart!!! stuck in a gulley, but somehow managed to finish ahead of the field. – I’m old enough to remember when motor cars had starting handles and still kept in the toolbox even when estarts came into fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also remember the the BVM rider took the kicker off his estart TRS to ride the Scottish last year -he finished all Six Days no problem – I guess he was either very confident or stowed it in his backpack, just in case!! – back in the day we would never go on a long ride without a pocket full of spare spark plugs and a small nail file to fix any sparky issues. with the points on the mag ignitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Answer to the last quiz Johnny Draper the tiny BSA factory rider who was brilliant at both Scrambles (MX) and Trials. -Also the brother in law of World Champ Jeff Smith. – Roger Boothroyd and Brett got that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today. Guess who?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

I know I’ve mentioned this before – but if you do go out riding in this hot weather – best make sure you fit a Sparky, just in case you get stopped by a ranger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

And our last word “COME ON RAIN”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
