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

We just got the latest issue of Motorcycle Mojo Mag – now published right out of Vernon BC – Inside is an advert for the TDN Team, which includes our own version of Itchy Boots -Emily Roberts – Emily posts a lot of her adventures in the Mag which is owned by her Mum & Dad. and just like Noraly they are all well worth reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

( It would be nice to see Noraly on a Trials bike – just like Emily)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Having watched a couple of the latest World Trials which the FIM now also feature a “Race” – I would suggest a better idea might be to penalize riders one point for every “hop” – While the new generation of Trials riders at this are amazing doing their trick riding – we don’t see this doing much for the sport at the grass roots level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

As most people in the Industry know, factories need volume to survive and that is why we have seen so many small Trials bike manufacturers go under – Bultaco knew this and diversified into other markets, including road racing – here is a pic of a young Barry Sheene on the Bultaco roadracer which were very successful. – as most fans know, Bultaco also built great flat trackers ( many still used today) plus Enduro models, and a great MX bike promoted to world championship status by Jim Pomeroy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what happened ?? Well it was the trade unions backed by the Spanish government, who refused to allow Factories to downsize when the market went soft. – Bultaco had no option but to close the doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look what I found while searching for something else in my shop? These will go to the new owner of the TY 175 we just sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Quite rare to find these)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a pic from the Classic Trial last Sunday in Ontario – there are no captions to the posted pics, so we don’t know who the rider is – but looks like a nice section to cool down on what is reported to have been a very hot day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
