slapshot 3

He did, with a few"interesting bits" attached, Bernie spent a week or so with Jimmy in Sorn before the Scottish, nice bloke....

Jamie, Take a look at the Pm i've sent you, might help d

jamie, it's been removed from sight, no one can see that anymore... D

Annoyed, looked at a few pics I have of Chris Sutton yesterday but couldn't find any with the dodgy Tache, knew he'd ridden Monts back then but...ah well. maybe there's a quiz out there about dodgy taches on trials riders.....Prof????? NEXT.....

Herpes - A Scousers Wig

I can't see Vesty in there, wrong shape of chin and I suspect he's the only Finn that most would maybe recognise apart from Tommi Ahvahla and he would have been about 10......... Apart from Yrjo's brother Anttoni I can't find information or remember names of any other Finns around that time, stumped.....

Okay last crack at it Tried tracking down the Montesa Team over the early 80's the riding gear gives that away perdominatly, It could be Curt Comer, American rider but lets go for Charles Coutard, he looks suitably Gallic....

OTH, i 've a feeling the crash of the Bultaco factory had a lot to do with it. Certainly Mart started the season on the Bultaco but switched early to SWM, my programme says Bultaco as well....no doubt The Prof will fill us in later

Yeaaahhhhh John rode a Lochaber National trial not long before the Scottish on the 125 Bulto. Poor begger rode round that day with Messers Young (Senior) and McMeechan...Baptism of fire in Scotland with that pair in their heyday......I was observing, poor bloke looked shell shocked

Come on OTH.....

Right...getting Pi$$ed with this now..... 1980 1. Bernie Schreiber 2. Martin Lampkin (John Reynolds we've established I hope) 3. Manuel Soler The cunning link - all three were on Bultaco's works team at the start of the year and successivley jumped ship, Soler to Montesa (hence the Mototenecia riding gear that only the works team had) Mart to SWM and lastly Bernie who moved to Italjet not long after the Scottish which Vesty won on a Mont. As to the bonus...looks like a young John Lampkin first Scottish aged 17 on a 125 Bultaco??????? Slow day in the Met office.....

A young John Lampkin perchance the first batch pretty much as Gizza went for, trying to decide which Montesa works rider it was, Gorgot, Carlsson or Soler...Carlsson obviously wrong OR Schrieber Martin Lampkin with John Reynolds Jamie Subira

Spot on, passion just about describes it though I have heard obsession used as well...see you soon Donald

Year 1981 1. Yrjo Vesterinen 2. Martin Lampkin 3. Ulf Carlsson 4. Suzuki Jacket is John Reynolds

Do I sense the rambling posts of a man who wishes he was strapping a number to the fat lass..... Sunshine....blizzards might be closer

Lot of places pretty bad today, as I look out the office window 500m visibility in a fairly moderate Snow shower and Aberdeen is not too bad. Think about the poor bu&&ers competing in the British Enduro round at Lossiemouth today and tomorrow, studded knobblies?? lots of showers still to come today as well

What's the link

I'd be happy to help with the investigations into these PEPs and their effects......

Much easier to help with some pics if you can

What Ham2 said but never power wash, let em dry naturally then a good rub with dubbin. Not so bothered with the waterproofing I use Sealskin socks but it does keep the leather in good nick.

I fear he doth protest too much....

Stu, merged your post with the thread already in place..

mmmmmm........................I can't see em either. I can now..wahey.....if you get bad points are there any specific individuals you can take the pi$$ out of to get good points again......????

The few occasions are obviously memorable......
