Wonderful images, Andy! Great to see those old bikes hanging in there, and performing so well at that.
My dad was a factory rider for Bultaco back in the day and always wanted to compete in the SSDT, but...wife and 5 kids and a scientist's salary. He's 84 now and still riding, although primarily road bikes now (NOT trikes). But when he comes up to visit me he hops right back on one of our trials bikes, and we all three (my wife is a multi-time women's trials champ) go blasting out to the sections in our woods. You're right - even after all this time, good riders like him make it look easy.
Thanks for posting those pics. Made me a bit misty eyed, they did :encouragement:
