slapshot 3 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) Right...getting Pi$$ed with this now..... 1980 1. Bernie Schreiber 2. Martin Lampkin (John Reynolds we've established I hope) 3. Manuel Soler The cunning link - all three were on Bultaco's works team at the start of the year and successivley jumped ship, Soler to Montesa (hence the Mototenecia riding gear that only the works team had) Mart to SWM and lastly Bernie who moved to Italjet not long after the Scottish which Vesty won on a Mont. As to the bonus...looks like a young John Lampkin first Scottish aged 17 on a 125 Bultaco??????? Slow day in the Met office.....

toofasttim Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 'snot Bernie in the first one. He, AFAIK, never wore Yoko pants. BTW, its Ulf Karlson. With a K. Colin Boniface, Mart and JR, Malc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overthehill Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 sorry guys just realised that i might have thrown you a wobbly the second photo is of course Mart with JR watching him but it was not the same year as the other two - it was 81 when mart first rode SWM. so its now down to the other photos as the bonus one has been guessed correctly as a very young Johnboy.

Andy Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Do I get any bonus points for the celebs in the spectators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 By Heck! Those were the days... before all that hopping sideways and skipping backwards and jumping about began. Before the trial almost disappeared completely and Willie Dalling in collusion with Peter Stewart of Hamilton Cables hatched a cunning plan to go "no-stop" once again! Oh for the 1970's and 80's to re-appear once more...but wait a minute.... maybe they have...... with twinshock trials!!! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(some stickers for you slapshot - see me in the fort) Yeaaahhhhh John rode a Lochaber National trial not long before the Scottish on the 125 Bulto. Poor begger rode round that day with Messers Young (Senior) and McMeechan...Baptism of fire in Scotland with that pair in their heyday......I was observing, poor bloke looked shell shocked Edited March 25, 2008 by Slapshot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthehill Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 right some more clues the other side of the top picture makes it easy and should also give you the year so its down to the third picture for the prize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(some stickers for you slapshot - see me in the fort) Do you ever wish you didnt start something !!! the above is rubbish - Mart must have first ridden the SWM in 1980? although he is down as Bultaco in the programme - HELP BJ the year is 1980 the photos are of course Schreiber Lampkin with J Reynolds watching and the mystery rider who is .............??

OTH, i 've a feeling the crash of the Bultaco factory had a lot to do with it. Certainly Mart started the season on the Bultaco but switched early to SWM, my programme says Bultaco as well....no doubt The Prof will fill us in later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 OK so it was Bernie. Last pic: Jaime Subira? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot 3 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Okay last crack at it Tried tracking down the Montesa Team over the early 80's the riding gear gives that away perdominatly, It could be Curt Comer, American rider but lets go for Charles Coutard, he looks suitably Gallic....
