We hope everybody had an enjoyable long weekend – – We got a message and some video from Harry McKay in Scotland – He sent this pic from last May when he helped set up the SSDT – He told us he bought the Vertigo as they were going cheap and usually rides his Fantic in Vintage Trials. ( Harry has been a Beta rider for many years & that is what his kids ride)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a pic I took of Harry when he was living over here in the Okanagan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer to the last quiz – Len Hutty a well known Southern UK rider – our late buddy Adrian Brown knew him quite well. – This was a toughie, but Brett was in early with the correct response – Peter LeGrove from OZ also got it – says he knew Len and rode a few Trials with him back in the day before he emigrated to OZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today – Who is this? (Another toughie) easier if you followed road racing in the 1950’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Forest Fires popping up everywhere, it’s a very stressful summer so far – our hearts go out to the poor people who are in a evacuation zone. Of course all this hot weather and not being able to get out leaves us a bit uptight – and not much happening regarding bike sales. ( But if you are interested – now would be a good time to buy as we have some really great discounts)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE – Here is a pic somebody just post from near Yankee Flats where we often ride. – Plus there is another fire burning near Armstrong ( just up the road from us)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now how nice would this be on a very hot day !! Bernie Schreiber practicing a water section back when he rode World Championship events – (pic by Len weed) That would have been helpful for when he rode the Scottish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Although we don’t have any “Road” Trials in Canada, it is perhaps a good time to remind folk that these days there are a ton of other people using the Forestry roads – and many are quads and side by sides with no consideration for bikes which might be coming in the opposite direction, especially on long weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are able to get out into the forestry – don’t forget to spend time smelling the wild flowers.!! This shot is near Banff Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a pic of Katie on the dry rocks at Donner Ski Resort USA at the NATC National – she did well with two podiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
