After that of course he won just about everything with the new bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quiz today &#8211; A local pic from a few years ago &#8211; Can anybody name these guys?  Hint &#8211; one is a Construction guy, one a builder, one Vet and one a Printer.!! The pic was taken at White Lake BC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2006_1112White-Lake-Nov0004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2006_1112White-Lake-Nov0004.jpg 627w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2006_1112White-Lake-Nov0004-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>===========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now here is a pic that I can relate to !!  During the War years, we didn&#8217;t see many vehicles on our Country roads, so all the local kids used to build and race these things which we called &#8220;Trollies&#8221; &#8211; My brother was an ace builder and managed to scrounge all the best &#8220;Pram&#8221; wheels &#8211; he even fitted a steering wheel  connected to the front by a bicycle chain &#8211; our races would start at the top of the hill on our road, and we would time the runs which ended a long way down near the main road.  &#8211; Our &#8220;Trollies&#8221; usually won. &#8211; ( We did not have trailers behind as in this pic)  amazingly I don&#8217;t recall anybody ever getting hurt.  &#8211; Of course these races had to be halted when the local home guard would come marching up the road.!!! ( But all the kids would &#8220;Salute&#8221;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"446\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Trollies-in-the-1940s.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Trollies-in-the-1940s.jpg 615w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Trollies-in-the-1940s-300x218.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>===========================================<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
