I checked over my TRS estart now fitted with the XTrack kit &#8211; Will take some pics. might find more &#8220;Blow downs&#8221; over the Westside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>=========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday I watched more of the golf from Ireland with local favorite Rory McIlroy  6 shot back behind Sheffler.  &#8211; Later I was browsing You Tube and clicked onto a 1950 Black &amp; white Shell film of the 1950 TT races in the Isle of Man -Neat to watch and to think that back then I used to listen to these being broadcast on the radio &#8211; Graeme Walker was the commentator and did a wonderful job. &#8211; Geoff Duke won that TT and many more &#8211; He was guest of  honor at our Club Banquet one year around 1956 and we all got to shake his hand &#8211; quite the deal for a young 16year old lad &#8211; a couple of years later, he passed me in a very muddy Time trial near Chester -(He won) &#8211; Geoff was originally hired by Norton to ride Trials and excelled in this sport, but soon found he liked Road racing which was when he became famous. &#8211; after Norton, Geoff raced the 4 cylinder Gilera with much success and I saw him do a demo on this at Oulton Park race track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After retiring, Geoff bought a hotel in the Isle of man &#8211; and when he died, the funeral procession did a complete lap of the TT course  &#8212;- ( they did the same for Joey Dunlop)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>=========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We sometimes mention about how some sports attract huge crowds &#8211; this shows a lot watching Mike Hailwood back in the day. &#8211; (The Telephoto lens adds to the image) &#8211; It looks like Mike could have been on the Honda 6 cylinder bike. &#8211; ( He is quoted as saying they handled like a Camel)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Hailwoodand-crowd.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Hailwoodand-crowd.jpg 526w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Hailwoodand-crowd-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Hailwoodand-crowd-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>======================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We heard from Neil Carter to say he was driving to a Two Day trial at Lions Bay but that the air was full of smoke &#8211; not good anywhere right now &#8211; depending on the wind- we hope to get some info on the trial later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>=====================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is an out of focus blow up of an out of focus original posted by Ryan Young of the US Trial at the weekend &#8211;
