If Social media is good for one thing, it’s keeping records, and reminds us of events from the past – yesterday it popped up to show that on this weekend one year ago, we had a visit from an old customer who lives in Manitoba – he was out touring on his KTM. – Also on the day two years ago Steve Doel picked up his new TRS and local lad Mike bought his used Beta Factory. – Ah yes – these memories could be forgotten so easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer to the Saturday quiz – Tim Gibbes the talented Kiwi who did well racing in Europe and as mentioned also had a bit part in the “Great Escape ” movie. – Only correct answer from Pete LeGrove who lives in OZ. ( A couple of wrong answers from our regulars)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today – Who on what bike?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Hard to believe, but this is a pic taken in August up on Joss Mountain – As you can see lots of snow, in fact deep drifts to negotiate in places – Our guide from those early days told us that there was about a 2-3 week window for reaching the Summit, between weather systems and big storms. ( As we did it 8 times we can tell you he was correct) – Looks like I’m putting extra gas in the Beta Rev 3 so this would likely have been around 2004-5. – I’m looking ahead, no doubt wondering what conditions would be like higher up the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

As many will have seen posted – there have been some changes at the top of Motorcycle Industry as it pertains to the sport and this has caused a split with the long running Hall of Fame organization. They are now asking for donations in order to keep this going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pic of the CanAm brought back memories, as these were quite the “Rocket ship” back in 1975-76 – I had a ride on one to pass on info to the Yamaha Race Team (Bob work) – I reported that they were super fast, but tended to go sideways if you gave them a big handful of throttle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

With cooler weather and the rain we had, I had hoped to go riding today, but unfortunately it’s not going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
