Well! we hope you are all enjoying the Easter long Weekend – I was working in the shop yesterday afternoon when the phone rang. – It turned out this was David Johnston – the Observer at the 1961 Scottish Six Day Trial who marked down the one and only “Dab” that Gordon Jackson AJS took that memorable week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have not heard from David for probably 30 years, so this did come as a surprise – However ! It was soon apparent that David who is now 80 yrs old – is in poor health and unable to carry on a normal conversation, because of memory issues – he asked me numerous times, how old I was. Anyway, we do have his Alberta ph number if anybody wants to call him – just email us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is the mention of David in the 100 year SSDT Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Things have changed a bit since I first rode the Lomax Cup in the 1950’s -all we got was a route card and certainly no breakfast treats. However one thing that hasn’t changed, is the long loop and believe me I can still remember how tough it was back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BTW this yearly event is in Wales – but I see they still use “Heartbreak Hill” – I know I “fived one sub on that. ( some of that stuff on the menu is Welsh!!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
