Sammy is on a Bultaco Matador. &#8211; we were supposed to go that year also on a Matador, but I broke my leg early in the year &#8211;      ( reported yesterday on the blog) &#8211; I think Turk was on Team Canada that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Sammy-at-ISDE-on-Matador.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Sammy-at-ISDE-on-Matador.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Sammy-at-ISDE-on-Matador-300x263.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>==========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have often posted stories on our love for the High -Alpine &#8211; here is a shot of myself up at around 7,000 ft above Trout Lake BC. &#8211; I am sitting on a Beta 200, one of my favorite bikes. ( It ran perfectly up at the high altitude with no need for any carb adjustments) It looks like I have one of the Hebo number plate extra fuel tanks fitted and also one of our neat Outlaw BackPaks witch would hold an extra 3 Gas bottles. ( We gave that to Team Canada for use at the last TDN by Steve Day) &#8211; Sadly we no longer make any of the Outlaw toolbelts or other bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> As I recall &#8211; We had Taff, Chris Hrabb and Bruce Baker with us that day &#8211; we climbed up via a narrow deer trail like a very long Trials section &#8211; which had a huge tree across at one point, which needed some extra hands to get the bikes up and over &#8211; but what a neat ride. ( I think Taff and myself also did a Revvy ride that same weekend, plus the Trial at Ymir !! I must have had more energy back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Outlaw-Dave-up-above-Trout-Lake-7000ft.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Outlaw-Dave-up-above-Trout-Lake-7000ft.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Outlaw-Dave-up-above-Trout-Lake-7000ft-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Outlaw-Dave-up-above-Trout-Lake-7000ft-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Outlaw-Dave-up-above-Trout-Lake-7000ft-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>==========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We forgot to mention on an earlier blog &#8211; that our new Spark arrestors have a wider screen which is not likely to clog up &#8211; plus of course if you use Opti 2 at 80-1 ratio your bike will run nice and clean. &#8211; ( available from your local Trials dealer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have stock for Beta and TRS.  and yes you WILL need one if riding the Naramata Trial in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"386\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/005-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/005-2.jpg 386w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/005-2-278x300.jpg 278w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>======================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birthday Greetings to our son in law Grant &#8211; Our daughter Helen and Grant are visiting Ft St John this week &#8211; where Grant grew up &#8211; this is a pic they sent of the Signpost at Dawson Creek &#8211; a spot I drove by many times in my travels &#8211; The local Yamaha dealer called &#8220;Walt&#8217;s House of Wheels&#8221; was just up the road on the right side. &#8211; This is the official start of the Alaska Hiway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Dawson-Creek.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Dawson-Creek.jpg 480w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Dawson-Creek-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally &#8211; I think somebody needs to invent a &#8220;Trump button&#8221; for the TV &#8211; One that automatically switches channels when he comes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>=======================================<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Answer to the last quiz &#8211; a young Graeme Jarvis &#8211; correct guess&#8217;s from Brett, Neil Carter and Peter LeGrove from &#8220;Down under&#8221; Quiz today.
