Talmag Trophy Trial - pre '65 Trials bikes - Aldershot According to the ACU site (as of 2011-11-22 at least), it looks like the 2012 event is on Sunday 29th January, but I'd recommend a close eye is kept on the website, as the date seems to have "moved" in the past....... http://www.acu.org.uk/events/default.aspxHere's some info from the 2011 event http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=8704.0 |

Our lady of blessed acceleration, don't fail me now! - Elwood Blues
Nitro doesn't add power, it multiplies it! Bob Loux, running 10.07 secs @138mph on a 650 normally aspirated Triumph drag bike in 1965!

A chilly day around 2 degrees C greeted the 2012 Talmag, so as a spectator, tramping around the hills watching the stages was a good way to stay warm.
A large entry of bikes, and it seemed even more spectators than before.
Here's a load of snaps to give a bit of feel for the day.
Triumph outfit.

Velocette, fairly common as a road bike, but unusual to see one in trials trim
