January 26, 200620 yr What about the othe rider Steve. The one in blue OLASINIS gear but without his helmet on? - Vesty. Besides I thought Mick was riding for AHAMAY?
January 26, 200620 yr Author Who is the AHAMAY rider bunny hopping over, and of the nine riders in he first pic who never rode the event?
January 27, 200620 yr Author getting there slowly, Kickstart 80/81 the guy laying down was Peter Pervis, it took Mick two attepts before he cleaned him!!!! Few more pics for you!!
January 27, 200620 yr Author Easy one this!! Look how much he has to clamp is legs into the bike to nose wheelie this lightweight machine!!
January 27, 200620 yr Author Another silly dab! I think this kid should have given up trials why he had the chance!!!! I can't see him making a career out of it!!!!!!
January 27, 200620 yr Author But seriously who rides a green bike nowadays, Quote:Sammy Miller, (The Way To Win Motorcycle Trials) "This must be one of the machines with potential for the future" Anybody have any other famous trials quotes that didn't come to pass?
January 27, 200620 yr Author "When we were lads we never walked the sections, we just got somebody to video it for us the day before!" I hoped you enjoyed the pics! i'll have to dig out the Kickstart vids now!
January 27, 200620 yr Who is riding that Italjet??? Is it a brit or a Yank? It sure looks like Scott Head from a distance
January 27, 200620 yr The guy on the Italjet (green) must be Bernie Schreiber. The guy on the Beamish Suzuki (yellow bike), John Reynolds and the guy doing the nose wheelie on the oh so light bike is none other than Eddie Lejeune. The kid with the 'silly dab' on the Blue Bultaco is Steve Saunders Third pic, guy standing without helmet in Blue riding gear Yrjo Vesterinen I think Not sure about the others, apart from Mick Andrews that is. What year were these taken. I went to a kickstart in the early eighties, I must admit I am not sure of the year but I do have some pics that I could scan. I was very impressed with Schreiber and Lejeune the year I went, they were both nose wheelying down the hills and I had never seen anyone do it before that.
