It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Yorkshire trials rider, Terry Wright. Terry was a member of the Dalesman Trials Team in the very early 1970s, taking part in the Scottish Six Days aboard the Otley manufactured British trials machine with the 125cc Austrian made PUCH engine. Terry was the only rider to post a national trial victory for the brand at the 1970 Manx Two Day Trial.

Terry also rode the popular Gaunt Suzuki machines in the late 1960s.

He later went on to become a Pre65 competitor on mouth-watering Royal Enfields. His late father Harry was a keen and well-known observer when Terry was competing.
