The annual Scott Trial, 2017 is being held over the Swaledale moors on Saturday, 21st October.
Organised by the Richmond Motor Club (Yorkshire) Ltd, it promises to be a challenge of man (or woman) and machine over approximately 75 miles of open moorland, streams and beautiful Yorkshire Dales countryside.
The event has been run for 103 years, but this of course is it’s 92nd event, due to the intervening war years, 1914-1918 and 1939-1945, plus the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001, when no events were run.

The Clerk of Course this year is once again, Paul Robinson, a local joinery contractor and trials enthusiast, he promises that the event will be a challenge, with some changes to the route to keep the riders on their toes.
The trial starts near to Feldom Ranges, outside Richmond DL11 7LS and the first rider starts at 09:00 prompt with riders leaving at twenty second intervals thereafter.

Trials Guru’s John Moffat will be on hand to do some snappy interviews of riders as they approach the start ramp, always a ‘tense’ time for competitors.
Diane Horner stood down as event secretary at the end of last year’s trial, so Ken Wallis has taken on the job for 2017. Ken is certainly no stranger to the Scott as the start field is provided by his family. His wife Chris was a previous secretary also.
If you are planning to attend, please remember to buy a copy of the official programme, it costs £5.00 and will be available at the start field where a team of ladies will happily take your money in exchange for a copy of the programme which has 88 pages packed with information for spectating, where to see and how to get there. A full entry list of riders and teams are included at the back of the programme along with last year’s results and all the award details that the riders are competing to win.
There are also interesting articles and photos about the event’s history and the people who organise it and those who allow the trial to cross their property. It is indeed a great souvenir to remind you of a fantastic day’s sport in North Yorkshire.
If you want a copy sent directly to you at a slightly higher price, due to postage and packing, then this can be done by visiting the club’s official website: RICHMOND MOTOR CLUB
Remember, all proceeds from the sale of the official programme go to the local ‘Scott Charities’, so please ‘dig deep’ and help the club raise as much money as possible for these very worthy causes.
Copies of the programme will be available from Saturday, 7th October at local shops and businesses, petrol stations etc.
If you are planning to hang around Richmond after the event, the awards presentation takes place in the Richmondshire Cricket Club, near the town centre. It starts around 8.15pm with the Charity Auction, again proceeds go to the ‘Scott Charities’. The final results will not be known until they are read out by the presenter and handed over by the guest of honour, a well-known former British Trials Champion from the 1970s.
The Banovallum Motorcycle Club was established in 1948 and has numerous members all of whom speak passionately about it. The weekend of 10th -11th June witnessed the club celebrating its 10th anniversary trial at the Withcall Trial, set in beautiful Lincolnshire.

At the event, there were some extremely tough testing sections, which proved very challenging for all riders, however everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy them. The weather was very good all weekend which made it even more enjoyable.

I helped by observing on day one on a stream section which was one of the more difficult sections for the riders and managed to get completely soaked and covered in mud courtesy of two riders who shall remain nameless, but all part of the fun of trialling.

The first day had thirty-nine riders, but that number increased to fifty-eight on day two showing the popularity of the event. On Saturday evening the camp fire was set following the first days trialling and the riders had tents and camper vans all around the field.

The club erected a marquee for the band who played throughout the evening, as everyone sat around the camp in chairs with a beer and chatted about the day, discussing how it had been for them personally and discussing the next day.

The atmosphere was very friendly and enjoyable with some people getting up to dance whilst others just relaxed around the fire. The weekend was enjoyed by all and credit to the organisers who worked very hard to set everything up and ensure everyone had fun. A special mention to Rosemary and Tim Hawcock who were always on hand to help anyone with any questions they might have.

Can’t wait for the 11th anniversary!

Tracing their events’ roots back to 1950, the Inverness & District MCC, Scotland’s most northerly trials club are delighted that their annual Highland Classic Two Day Trial was voted a great success by those whose opinions really count, the riders!
The club have been flooded by e-mail messages by grateful competitors who enjoyed a weekend of great sport at the Alvie Estate, just four miles south of Aviemore on 10/11th June.
The Highland Classic is fast becoming the premier event to ride in Scotland whether you have a Pre’65 or twin-shock machine. This year the theme was ‘The Honda Edition’ and the Guest of Honour was former British Trials Champion, Rob Shepherd, a rider whose name will always be associated with the Honda marque.
Nick Jefferies was Special Guest and kept the riders entertained with his witty banter and facts about the Honda trials effort back in the 1970s – Photo: Jean Caillou
Special Guest was Nick Jefferies, a man who not only talks about trials but can ride as well, having picked up the B Route Two Stroke award on a BSA Bantam borrowed from Rob’s brother Norman. Jefferies hasn’t really ridden a trial since 2003, but showed that he indeed ‘still has it’ in the words of Norman Shepherd.
Part of Nick’s winnings was a brand new MICHELIN rear tyre which he immediately promised to friend Norman Shepherd for the loan of the machine.
Jefferies told Trials Guru: “What a great event, the organisation is absolutely first class and everyone is so friendly, it really lives up to its name, the Friendliest Classic Trial in Scotland. What a wonderful place to hold an event, this is all due to the landowner, Laird Jamie Williamson who welcomes such events onto his land, what a breath of fresh air”.
Full reports are expected to appear in both Classic Trial Magazine and Classic Dirt Bike over the next few months.
The Honda connection was supported by French Honda enthusiasts, Jean Caillou and Olivier Barjon who travelled many hundreds of miles to get to the Alvie Estate..
Jean Caillou, Rob Shepherd, Olivier Barjon, Yrjo Vesterinen and Nick Jefferies soak up the atmosphere at the 2017 Honda Edition of the Highland Classic.
Caillou: “I really enjoyed the experience, I have ridden Alvie before and it is a true classic event which has grown over the years”
Competitor, Darren Walker told the Inverness club secretary John Moffat: “I think I have died and gone to trials heaven, how do you manage to get permission to ride in a beautiful place like this?”

The Inverness club put a great effort into the event which was thought up by club Chairman, Malcolm Smith, who is originally from Dunsfold in Surrey. The event began on 2003 as a one day trial, but spurred on by Scottish super-enthusiast, Jock McComisky, it evolved into a two-day affair in 2004.
The relaxed but sporting atmosphere at the Highland Classic has raised the bar in Scotland with many saying openly that it is simply the best in Scotland now. Unfortunately this has meant over-subscription of the 150 rider limit.
Club and Company General Secretary John Moffat said: “We had a number of very good younger riders enter this year, but the club are keen to retain the level of severity that accommodates the bulk of the entry. We will not be raising the bar as far as section severity is concerned, we have hit an optimal solution of two routes, the easier B route is designed with Pre’65 machines in mind. What we have been striving to do is raising the bar on the infrastructure, this is without doubt the ‘Friendliest trial in Scotland’ now and we intend to keep it that way and develop that mantra further. We have the riders to thank for making it so as many travel hundreds of miles to take part. If we got it wrong, it would be so easy to ride somewhere a bit more local. The observers who are invaluable, many of those are coming up to help us, it’s fantastic”.
The event was supported by Putoline Oils UK; Apico Factory Racing and Classic Trial Magazine who provided both product and promotional material for the event, much of which went direct to the competitors and observers. The club also ran two observers’ prize draws during the event.

Entries will open on 1st February for the 2018 Highland Classic Two Day which will be the Montesa Cota Edition, celebrating fifty years since the original ‘Cota’ was launched in 1968. No doubt the organisers are already investigating which guest of honour and guest riders they will have with MONTESA connections. The event will be held once again at Alvie Estate on 9/10th June, 2018.

Team Costa Rica – SSDT 2017 – Photo: Neil Sturgeon, Darlington
Costa Rica is a very small country in Central America with only 4.5 million people. Is one of the greatest places on earth to live since we have many beaches surrounding the country either on the Atlantic or Pacific side, lots of natural beauty, no army and the most politically stable in the region.
There are just a few active trial riders in the whole country, ten to be exact. Unfortunately trials are not so popular in Latin America therefore we have no trial schools whatsoever. So in order to learn we have to watch a lot of videos and improvise the best way we can.

When we were accepted in the 2017 SSDT, Ronald (doctor), Gustavo and myself (entrepreneurs) were super excited and started watching a lot of videos so we could understand a little better what were getting into. We prepared ourselves going to the gym, going on the trial bike to difficult places and trying to be fit for the event. We also purchased appropriate clothing since the coldest it gets throughout the year in Costa Rica is 18 degrees!

The day before the inauguration, we saw all different riders and realized that most of them were very experienced, country champions, top trial riders and we got intimidated a bit. We were amazed watching 3 year old kids practicing on their trial bikes in the park, something we’ve never seeing before.
During the inauguration we were very proud to participate in the parade wearing our Costa Rican team uniform. Seeing our flag in the poles next to countries that have participated in the SSDT for ages made us feel important! Team Vertigo France was very friendly with us and gave us some valuable tips.
The first day was a reality check day where the three of us were very stressed since we did not know what to expect. Everything was new for us. Driving on the left, new signs, the zones signals, driving under totally different conditions as we are use to (specially the cold weather). Throughout the day we realized that it was a lot more difficult than expected, that there is absolutely no time to waist, and the inter zones with deep trenches full of mood was something totally new for us where some could become traps. Having so many people watching did not help either and the rocks we saw on the videos were 10 times bigger and the hills were steeper!
Monday night we were dissapointed and thought that we would not be able to finish because there was little time for delays and that day we tried to waist no time and barely made it on time at the end of the day . We were encouraged by Vicki Anderson, a physiotherapist which helped us throughout the week, on not quitting. At dinner the three of us decided to build a strategy which we wrote on a napkin and put on the mirror of our hotel room with the different things we would commit on doing in order to try to finish the entire event.

Tuesday we had an issue with Gustavo’s bike which we were able to fix but we were about 20 minutes late at the end of the day. Following the rules we committed the night before made it easier and at the end of the day we were very happy because there we started having hopes that we would have some chances to finish the race if we continued the same strategy.
Wednesday we left early, and we were the first riders out. We took advantage of that and the whole day flowed better being happy that some zones we were absolutely first feeling less pressure. That day we arrived 35 minutes before our return time so we were able to change the rear tire and check all the bike properly. We felt as champions there and were very motivated. Then we learned that going first on the zones wasn’t a good idea because it was even more slippery in some cases and no tracks so we needed to improvise.
The following day was really hard and we were told that if we finished the 4th day we would have very high chances of finishing the six days. So we were mentally prepared and pretended that nothing had happened in the previous days and that was day one out of three having the advantage that we knew then what we did not know on Monday when we got started. Murdo, a trial fanatic who was giving us support; recognized how most people thought at the beginning of the week that we would not make it. This encouraged us more of course to prove they were wrong!
Friday was not as hard as the previous day but our bodies were resentful. My knee was bad from a fall on Tuesday, could not move my shoulder almost due to an old injury that reappeared this week and Ronald and Gustavo were also getting their forearms tired and with cramps.
Saturday was a long day since the inter zones were forever but we managed to follow some experienced riders like Colin Ward & son or Robert Paterson who always had a constant flow and had participated in several SSDT ’s before and had a positive attitude towards us.
When we were able to get to the finish line we were very happy because finally the journey was over and we were extremely proud because throughout the week we’d learned that it was the first time ever that a latin american team had participated as a team and all riders finished in the SSDT. We felt as everyone recognized our effort and made many good friends with a great attitude throughout the week which is a very special feeling since they all share the same passion but are located in the other side of the world. Having the support of Vertigo, Dougie Lampkin mechanics and many riders, helped us finish with a big smile in our faces.
We know that we were very lucky because the weather helped us and because in all the different sections, even if they were very difficult, we went after them in most cases. Now the feeling is even greater because our other trial friends back home are into it and want to go back with us next year, where we know that the weather will not be as nice; but now know what we will be facing and have plenty of time to train accordingly. Maybe we bring the good weather again!

The Scottish Six Days Trial is the most famous motorcycle trial in the world and deserves a special place in Trials Guru website.
The 2017 event was blessed with wall to wall sunshine throughout the six days and this was a contributory factor to the enjoyment of the event.
Trials Guru’s John Moffat was there from start to finish and assisted Nevis Radio with their outside broadcast presentatation every morning from 07.00 to 11.00 Monday to Friday and 07.00 to 12.15 on the final day, Saturday 6th May. He also assisted the Edinburgh & District Motor Club by interviewing riders on the finish ramp and hosted the presentation of awards evening at the Nevis Centre, Fort William. A busy week by all accounts.

First, a short post-event interview with the 1961 SSDT winner, Gordon L. Jackson:
“I was kept informed during the week that Doug Lampkin was still clean and my friend Gordon Blakeway phoned me ten minutes after Doug’s dab and I knew that I was sharing the record, but it hadn’t yet been beaten. If anyone was going to do it, it would have been Doug Lampkin and in my opinion he is the greatest trials rider ever, having twelve world titles to his credit and now eleven Scottish Six Days Trials.
I know that one can’t compare riders of different eras, that would be like comparing Valentino Rossi with Mike Hailwood. Doug Lampkin came close to beating my record of which I am proud, but if he had, I can’t think of a better bloke to do it. I admire him and know how much pressure he would be under last week.
I would of course have been slightly disappointed if my record had been beaten, but I don’t mind sharing it with Doug”.
…
Doug Lampkin (Vertigo 300) started the 2017 SSDT as the firm favourite for the win, however, other riders could not be ruled out, after all the SSDT is a six days event and anything could happen from a rider injury to a mechanical failure which could render a rider out of the event at worst or lose marks on time.

Sitting in the wings were former runners-up Michael Brown (Gas Gas) and Gary Macdonald (Scorpa) who were just as keen and motivated to grab the win. Newcomer Jack Price was also a dark horse, he lacked experience in the Scottish, but his 2016 season indicated that he had gained the skills of a winner and would prove himself as a force to be reckoned with.

Clerk of Course, Jeff Horne had taken on board the comments gathered after the 2016 event which was commented as being too severe for the clubman rider, but he had to balance that with the views of the top riders who expected the event to be challenging.
Horne: “We have listened to the post-2016 comments and we have reigned back many of the sections that caused problems last year, we have also varied the route to keep the SSDT fresh and one that riders want to ride in. Time hopefully will not be so tight as previously, but that is not a signal to hang about either”. He told Trials Guru’s Moffat when on the Nevis Radio broadcast on the opening day.

Day one saw five riders all on clean sheets, Lampkin, Andy Chilton; Jack Price; Jack Sheppard and Gary Macdonald kept their feet firmly on the rests which had enthusiasts wondering what the organisers would do if there was a tie on the Saturday, but this was not to happen.

What did happen was spectators were beginning to realise by Day 2 that Doug Lampkin could change the face of SSDT history by posting the first clean of the whole trial and the tongues were certainly wagging over this. Jordi Pascuet was just one mark behind Lampkin at this point.

By Day 3 Pascuet had posted a further two marks and tied for second place with newcomer Jack Price who was having a cracking ride, to which he resisted the pressure to become a very worthy runner-up at the end of the six days.

Local man and twice previous runner-up, Gary Macdonald, the most successful Scottish Trials rider of all time, and the highest placed Scotsman since 1935 was just off the pace and didn’t challenge Lampkin which put him down the standings to finish as Best Scot, but in seventh position on 22 marks, not Macdonald’s personal best by a long way.

During the Friday ‘Road Trip’, Thatcham’s Will McBain struck out when he clipped the kerb at Strontian, just yards from the lunch check. The Beta spat him off at only 8 mph, but he touched down on his left knee and it dislocated. An ambulance was summoned by Trials Guru’s Moffat who was only feet away and witnessed the incident. The unlucky Bain was transported to Fort William’s Belford hospital. Will, obviously disappointed, took time to visit the Nevis Radio team at Parc Ferme on the Saturday morning sporting a knee brace and crutches, he vowed to return in 2018 and had been on course for a special first.

The weather certainly made it an easier journey over the moors although there were still traps for the unwary and inexperienced rider. Fresh rear tyres were fitted a day early by many as the road temperature was doing its best to wear out tyres. Many riders also changed front tyres as a precaution. Air filters were changed every day as the dust levels were high.

Grass fires broke out on more than one location due to the tinder dry conditions with Clerk of Course Horne issuing a precautionary warning to riders of the hotter operating four-stroke machines, in case embers were discharged from parked machines, to be extra vigilant.

…
Victory was Lampkins, he hoisted the North British Rubber Company trophy high above his head at the Saturday presentation to the cheers from an appreciative audience which included 1969 SSDT winner Bill Wilkinson. This made it win number eleven and Doug almost changed the record book, but he equalled Jackson’s dab he didn’t beat it. It’s a record that has stood for 56 years, how many more will it be intact? We shall just have to wait and see!
Trials Guru has been a bit busy recently with the annual Scottish Six Days Trial at sunny Fort William, but we hope to bring you some photos and comment from the event very shortly!
With just one week to go, Trials Guru reveals its’ special 2017 SSDT Logo.

Renowned international photographer and trials rider, Don Morley has taken over as the next Honorary President of The Association Of Pioneer Motorcyclists (APMC).
Ken Blake who is the APMC’s immediate past Hon President and now the new Chairman welcomed Don to his new post at a special investiture meeting of the Association.
Don is the 49th Honorary President in the Associations’ 70 year history, and most of his predecessors have either been former TT racing or motorcycle industry greats, so it is regarded as being a wonderful personal honour.
Morley spoke to Trial Guru: “I still have no clue as to how or why I was chosen although I have been a APMC committee member in the past. The APMC is in fact a life membership association open to anyone who has held a motorcycle licence for fifty years or more, but is in fact stuffed full of former competitive riders like ourselves”.

It is with much sadness that we must announce the passing of former Eastern Centre and Norfolk & Suffolk group champion, Eddie Cordle at the age of 71 at the beginning of April.
Eddie was a former supported rider on James, Cotton, Montesa and Fantic Motor Cycles and was a member of Ipswich M.C.C.
He rode throughout the sixties and seventies, and one of his most proudest achievements was to get an equal best day with Mick Andrews at the Scottish Six Days Trial in 1971 and going on to take a special first class award at the end of the week.
He was also an accomplished scrambler and later went on to be a successful golfer. Eddie Cordle will be greatly missed by all.
