ATTENTION – Website was down early today – now up and running again – Thanks to all our regular bloggers!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Answer to the last quiz – Bobby T on his Hodaka at the Summerland Outlaw Trial – Bob was and still is as far as we know, the only rider of a 125 bike to make it up the Shale climb clean – We always had this as the last section in the Trial, and I would zip up with a backpack full of beer to hide at the top, for when the riders finished – Adrian always tried to be first up!!! – Neil Carter was surprisingly the first correct (as he is from Ontario) followed by Brett, Bob, and Harlow..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note! My plan this year is to tackle this on the TRS 125 at some point!!!!! – After all it’s a challenge. ( But I will get Mike to hike up first to check)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It appears that all our bloggers enjoyed the recent pictorials, of our Mountain adventures, and yes there is something quite magical about riding up in the Alpine – the trials bikes with the soft tires hardly make a track, plus of course they are all so quiet ( I’m not talking about the ebikes – you can keep them)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a pic that Stan took of me on that last ride we did on my 75th birthday in 2012 – This was used in an article published in the UK Trials Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

talking about Stan – Devra just sent us this pic of Stan riding a Rocky gulley down in Mexico – He said it took them a long time to clear out and make rideable for the old guys!! the TRs in the foreground belongs to Bruce Baker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Here is one we have not seen before – A DKW Trials bike. – That’s a mighty long header pipe. – Hate that green frame.- Did you know that the BSA Bantam was a copy of an early DKW model?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

So Yesterday I went to Kelowna on business on what was just a wonderful blue-sky day – It was quite cold, but after i came back home – I could not stop myself from doing a few laps around the yard on my estart TRS ( my excuse to Babsy, is that I need to keep the batteries – both the bike and me – Charged up)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Below is a pic of the front editorial for the Revvy National WTC Trial – As most people know – The WTC was a link to the WEC Enduro Operation run out of Ontario – This was very successful, but with the operators growing tired and then covid – they decided to shut it down, so that was also the end for our Trials. WTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
