Canada Trials

The first two rounds of the 2011 Canadian National Championships, sanctioned by WTC, were completed at Summerland in British Columbia on May 21 & 22, 2011. A total of 65 competitors took part in the weekend's activities, with a third of them from outside of British Columbia, lending a truly national flavour to the two trials. The results leave Thomas Cordner of Victoria, BC in the lead with a margin of just one championship point over Jonathan English of Foxboro, Ontario. The $100 daily prizes for lowest loop scores in the Champ class were won by Jonathan English on Saturday and Thomas Cordner on Sunday. Dave Rhodes did a great job organizing the event, with the sc…

For those people not familiar with what is happening in Canada -sometimes referred to as "The Great White North" this past couple of years has seen a new organizing body emerge, called the WEC - this stands for World Enduro Canada, and it was formed as an alternative to the CMA or Canadian Motorcycle association. - Almost out of the box - the new group were outstandingly successful, the Enduro riders loved the enthusiasm and expertise of the WEC, who scheduled a true National Series across this great Country. It should be noted that the guys who head up the WEC are Out and Out enthusiasts, they do however have business savvy, and a big Ace in the hole, with a link to a l…

The 2010 Outlaw Trial is now in the History books - The 23rd running of this annual event saw 45 riders out on the two days of action in the Okanagan Valley, near Summerland BC. With the Vintage on Saturday, and the Modern on Sunday. The 20km loops on Sunday, had two loops of 20 sections for Expert/Advanced riders, and 15 x2 for the other classes. - An early morning rain shower made the rocks slippery, but they dried out for the second loop. Brandon Wince of Kelowna beat out Stan Bakgaard for the Expert win on the tie break, with Steve Foord in third place. Full results can be seen by clicking on www.trialscanada.com.

Hello all, I've got a '77 Bultaco Sherpa T 350. It has a fiberglass tank. I'm concerned with putting ethanol-based gasoline in the tank. I've been told by several people and read that the ethanol dissolves the fiberglass resin causing the tank to weep fuel over time. I've also read online regarding concerns about its solvents. As far as I am able to research, all Ontario pump gas contains at least 10 % ethanol by law. I've got several takes on preventing this but was hoping to gage your opinions on the subject. 1. Tank was "sealed" by previous owner using an unknown chemical. The "Kreem" tank sealer website states that it may not be compatible with some fibergla…

Just like to wish Trials riders everywhere a very Happy New Year As I grew up near Oswestry, I keep a close tab on what happens in UK Trials, and especially "The Tough One" held at Nantmawr. which was one of our old Trials practice spots in my day. We are happy and fortunate to have Steve Foord and Jake Cook living in Western Canada as of early this year - Steve is from the London area, and Jake from Yorkshire - they have both excelled with Foordy winning the Canadian WEC Championship and Jake the Alberta ATRA Championship.
