With all the turmoil going on in the World today, I feel sorry for the younger people. – I was only two years old when the Second World War broke out. – It’s sad that having lived through such terrible times, We now have a new generation of Dictators intent on destroying the World – Somebody once said “If people do not learn from the mistakes of the past – they will repeat them” – And as Winston Churchill said – “You cannot appease a Dictator”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank goodness we have motorcycles !!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=====================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s hard to believe that the Scottish Six Day Trial is not far off – Did you know that the early events started in Edinburgh, and the first day was a very long ride to Fort William, but not all road work – I think it was 1973 when Mart Lampkin seized his Bultaco on that first day and was done. – The early events also included sidecars, but because this became a logistical nightmare for planning the routes – they were dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
