nph779 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Does anyone know what happened to Howard Jackman who rode a 240 Armstrong in the 1984 SSDT? He may have been a works rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian640 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks2 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) 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, 2013 by sparks2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbelly Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Is Howard still active in the trials Scene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsandifords Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
