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

It’s hard to believe that it is 50 years, since the FIM introduced the World Trials Championship in 1975 ( before that it was the European Championship) – Martin Lampkin was the first to win this, and we put on the first one in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It was in 1965 -ten years previous – that Sammy Miller joined the Spanish Bultaco factory, and shocked the UK Trials world – before that Sammy had been the man to beat on his 500 (Heavy) Ariel GOV 132. – Sammy won the first National he entered on the new lightweight “Sherpa T” and the rest as they say – is History. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sammy now holds a special weekend for Bultaco fans at his Museum in England, with many of the Trials and Scrambles stars from the past in attendance. – Here is a pic from last week with some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Below he is seen with that very first Sherpa T model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We bought one of those from Terry Porter back in 1970 and immediately won the first two Alberta Trials we entered – Yes they were that good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

Next week is the TT races in the Isle of Man – the natural road course is 37 3\/4 miles long and back in 1957 my buddy and myself rode the complete loop on our Trials bikes !! no we didn’t break any records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days they are lapping at over 200mph ( frightening)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
