aawil Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 hi deryk another great trial two days of sensible sidecar sections in the some of the best trials land around. the sat night at the rugby club was also quite testing but the pie and peas at the finish made it all worth the trip up from london,any chance of pics from the allen jeffries trial especially the moor end sections which i reckoned to be one of the best sidecar sections ever, flat out in third gear and hang on keep up the good work. will.

Hi Will, Funny you should mention the sidecars in the Allan Jefferies 'cos with Barry Robinson I am just preparing a feature on sidecars in the Allan Jefferies over the years for inclusion in ORRe shortly. I know Moor End is good - but I always felt that Hollinsclough needed a canny mixture of delicate and speed........ Deryk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawil Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 deryk i will look forward to seeing some of barry's shots , i think you can remember my style or riding,,,,delicate is not my throttle range ,normally flat out and a bit more if i can get it, i can still remember the day when bill wilkinson welded up my sprite s/car outfit as the tuned triumph motor proved a bit more powerful than the 250 villiers ,the local riders were astounded as bill did the job for nought, it was the talk of the dales for months.i just assumed i was accepted as an honary yorkshireman, cheers will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Will, Who is this in the 1998 Downland, please? Frank Hinc? Cheers Deryk I have had time to do a more thorough hunt through the archives and now I can confidently report that the two sidecar protagonists are DAVE and STEVE BURDGE........
