September 26, 201213 yr Does anyone know what happened to Howard Jackman who rode a 240 Armstrong in the 1984 SSDT? He may have been a works rider.
September 26, 201213 yr http://www.armstrong-trials.co.uk/cmt350.html I remember Howard as we also rode Armstrongs for the Army back in the 80's, the picture above is my actual bike from 1985! Interesting website for the old Armstrong brand.
September 26, 201213 yr Pretty sure he was British Schoolboy champ and mixed it with the top lads as soon as he moved up. Interested to find out why he left the trials scene.
September 27, 201213 yr I had a ride at lanks county trial in 2006 or 2007 and he was riding a mont and still kicking ass on the hard corse.. Not see him after in the north west.
September 27, 201213 yr rode for sandiford montesa on a 247 not sure if he rode somthing else between that and the armstrong. very good rider in his day.

Does anyone know what happened to Howard Jackman who rode a 240 Armstrong in the 1984 SSDT? He may have been a works rider. He was Jim Sandiford's 200 Montesa rider, being regularly placed in the top 10 in the British Champs in the early 80's then he switched to the Armstrong for 1984, riding the 250 alongside Steve Saunders on the 310/320 I think. He was a tidy rider in his day too.

January 2, 201313 yr Did yours come with an ignition flywheel.....?! Not many people knew that story so I am guessing you must have been there?
January 19, 201313 yr When I started riding in about 1981/1982 in the NW centre, Howard Jackman seemed to be winning everything on a Cota 200. Looks like a 320 Armstrong in the pics - didn't the 250 have a central exhaust port?
January 23, 201313 yr Hi I think I remember Howard at the very start of his career riding in the early seventies in the North Western Centre, on a then very old BSA C15T, I seem to recall. Are we saying that he joined the Army in later years ?? Edited January 24, 201313 yr by sparks2
February 6, 201313 yr Howard lives locally, bump into him from time to time. I'll mention next time I see him he was being asked about on here.
