<\/figure>\n\n\n\n=====================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had a nice drop of rain yesterday hopefully that will help the fire situation !! – For me it was a visit to the “Tooth Fairy” – which went well, but it will be a couple of weeks before you can call me “Smiley”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
======================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest of my day was spent sorting stuff to take to the dump a good day for it, except a lot of other people had the same idea!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
======================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This weekend there is a Trial in Ontario, so we will look for some news on that – Our buddy Jamie McGregor told us he has his #99 Gold TRS for sale for a very reasonable $6grand as his new one is expected pretty quick – call me for details if you are interested. ( We don’t need to tell Hockey fans why #99 is pretty special)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=====================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have often said that if “A bike looks right” -well it probably is right – but isn’t it funny how some models over the years have fallen down on this aspect – like the seat on this Vincent HRD !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We always thought the BSA Goldstar in Clubman’s trim was one of the best looking street bikes – how about this display? I never did ride one in this form only in Trials trim. – They did have a problem with a too small oil pump delivery, which caused some stockers to seize up ( one of our local club riders was killed in the Isle of man due to this) In later years the Yamaha TT 500 also had this issue – yes I told the Japanese, about the BSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n =====================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m getting to the stage when I can concur with this!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n =====================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last night I clicked on You Tube and as I do sometimes took in the interview and comments from American prof. Jeffrey Sachs – he talks about World Politics and the involvement of the USA – believe me he is worth listening to – not only does he recount the history as to the near Nuclear war of 1961, narrowly avoided by the brilliant mind of John F Kennedy, who by-passed the controlling war mongers of the senate to deliver the speech to Kruschov that averted the Cuban crisis. – But he goes a lot deeper than that with regard to the American lack of diplomacy and how Russia have been pushed into a corner by NATO backed American Presidents and the CIA – Click on you may find it both enlightening and frightening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ==========================================<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Answer to the last quiz – a young Philippe Berlattier – our usual bloggers were on this pretty quick – Brett, Pete, Harlow and Stan Quiz today – A Formula One Driver – but who is it? and where was he from? ===================================== We had a nice drop of rain yesterday hopefully that will help… Continue reading Thursday August 7th\/25<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9671"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9671"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9671\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9680,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9671\/revisions\/9680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/awful-seat-on-HRD-Vincent.jpg\")
