A Royal Enfield tackles a down hill section (the camera softens the steepness)

Lovely AJS. One of the talents of the owner is that he manufactures frames for this model.

Most motorsport is a 'solo' competition, in sidecar trials the rider has to relay on his passenger to balance/load the outfit for manoeuvrability and traction

Beautiful machinery -& some crackin' photos & informative captions as always Tony  Always mean to do this one as it's fairly local but still haven't. I'm not personally into trials riding, but think the bikes look fantastic. I'd go just to take in the sound & smell of them & to watch them being ridden as they were supposed to be, rather than cossetted as museum pieces. |

And when he gets it wrong.......... (my mate Bob on the bike with Colin in/on the chair) |
