Answer to the Sunday Quiz – Peter Stirland on the Factory Royal Enfield – Neil Carter and Peter from OZ got it correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today Who is this rider?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Looking out front at 8am – it got a lot “Whiter” as the day went on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well the Sunday weather was certainly a reminder that old man winter is not leaving without a final wallop!! – I do recall that nothing is a given for any month -Especially, if you live in Alberta !! —– I remember driving out to Calgary for a Trial many years ago on April 23rd – stayed with Siggi Pechout and it snowed over two feet overnight – Yes ! the trial was cancelled!! –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The snow didn’t quit in Vernon on Sunday until after 2pm – by which time I was watching the golf!! – Of course I have related before on the blog, how we had the snow for that first Canadian Championship we put on at Bragg Creek in 1971.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also not unheard of to have snow in Scotland in May – as some of our Cannuck’s might remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is another snow day – this time on one of our Joss rides – that is Bob Clark on the right and one of the Gronow lads – Yes we have had both good and bad days up in the Mountains – the motto is like the boy scouts “Always be Prepared”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course riding in the snow while not the best – is good practice for if and when you do run into bad weather during competition – the bikes that work best are the ones with lots of torque and you can pull a high gear. – Yes the Beta is hard to beat in those conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I see that the Ferrari Team got disqualified after finishing 1-2 in China !!! What a F\/U – I’m sure Lewis Hamilton was not a Happy Chappy – after winning his first race for the new team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meanwhile I got a report that the Trial held in my old Welsh Stomping Grounds went over very well with over 60 riders.- Good to see the old Oswestry club still going strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In case you haven’t noticed – We don’t post much about World Trials on the blog – as we feel these events are more of a Circus act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Nice to see our UK contact Heath Brindley getting out to a Trial after a long time off the bike with knee surgery – he is pictured with his long suffering buddy Francisco who takes all his insults in good fun – they both rode the old bikes – Heath on his much modified Beta TR 34 and Francisco on the Fantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think he has an Outlaw sticker on that bike somewhere and he also has an Outlaw Toolbelt. ( We no longer make these)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
