Recently updated, there is an article on Alan ‘Sid’ Lampkin and some information provided by one of the Lampkin sisters.

Here at Trials Guru, we are always trying to bring you something interesting from the sport of trials across the world.
Recently we have collaborated with two other websites and two media organisations to enable our viewers to access interesting material, some of which has only been available in magazines by subscription.
John Hulme, Editor of both Trial Magazine and Classic Trial in the UK has generously made available articles on Yrjo Vesterinen, Gordon Farley and Eric Kitchen to name three personalities from the sport. As has Sean Lawless of Lawless Media UK – Trials Guru is very grateful for this level of support.
Photographs are sourced from a wide range of photographers and again we are very grateful to these photographers who are credited on each photograph and in the end credit listings of any articles or features. Please respect their copyright as we do.
We know from feed-back, comments on the articles and our ‘Contact’ page that you are enjoying the experience and we thank you for letting us know.
There is of course more to come!

For many trials enthusiasts, Trials Guru is becoming the ‘go to’ website for the history of the sport.
We didn’t set up Trials Guru to be a reference work, but given that we speak to many of the sports former riders, sponsors and journalists it was inevitable that we are a place for more than just looking at photographs.
We have set up a variety of ‘sections’ on Lampkins, Sammy Miller, Yrjo Vesterinen, Bultaco & Honda motorcycles and much much more. Still more to come when time allows.
We have also directly collaborated with trials websites: todotrial in Spain, retrotrials in the UK and The Honda Trials Story to bring you a variety of information, photographs and articles from the world of motorcycle trials.
We have brought you archive material with the express permission of Mike Rapley; Colin Bullock; Iain Lawrie; Jimmy Young; Rainer Heise; Kimages; Heather Mead; Justyn Norek and many more.
So sit back and enjoy Trials Guru … Dedicated to the sport – free of charge!
Well-known author Tommy Sandham has penned a short article for Trials Guru and trials fans, especially of the Honda marque.
Tommy wrote four books on the Scottish Six Days Trials and of course ‘Four-Stroke Finale? – The Honda Trials Story’ and now we get the inside story of how and why it was written.
Trials Guru’s John Moffat and Tommy have been friends for more than forty years, tracing their friendship back to the 1970s in the Lanarkshire Motorcycle Club in Scotland, when Sandham started riding in trials on the ex-JimSandiford BSA B40 (776BOP).

The name ‘Lampkin’ is synonymous with off-road motorcycle sport. It has to be the most famous of all families associated with motorcycling in the world.
Trials Guru are proud to release a feature page dedicated to the Lampkin family, with informative articles and photos from our regular contributors. We start with Alan R.C. Lampkin’s story of a life in motorcycle sport.
As close family friend and former trials competitor, Blackie Holden said: “The Lampkin family can be summed up in one word – winners. There is something very special about them, from a very early age I remember their tremendous ‘will to win’ it is immense. Whether it be a game of noughts and crosses or a 500 GP, the competitive element with them is incredible. It’s not in a nasty way, they just have to win”.
