Swm In Action

HI,


 


Thought you might like to see some action shots - selected from those used in our digital magazine ORRe - so here is one from the Sammy Miller 2015 Dales Trial round, showing John Long from Otter Vale in action.


 


Like our coverage of the Pre-65 Scottish, if you rode in the 2015 Dales Trial then there is at least one photograph, and usually several to show the bike from both sides.  And remember, our magazine is unique, WE DON'T JUST INCLUDE THE WINNERS - WE TRY TO INCLUDE EVERYBODY


 


Sadly there is a cost, maximum £12 a year, and in the first year we published 26 issues, averaging over fifty pages each issue - and EVERY PAGE was information - not a single page wasted on advertising.  Nor are there any watermarks..........


 


People are beginning to call it the Offroad Motorcycle Sport Reference Library............


 


Enjoy.

Hi metisse,

 

I'm sure that you will remember that my real interest in 'modern' bikes died when I was busily occupied in all things pre-65 - so although I may well have images in the archive I haven't got a clue what a gunaro is - so please help a daft old dodderer out with a few details, then I can have a proper look.........

 

Cheers

Deryk

 

Trust you are well?

Yes thats true, amazingly small,  how an earth did they get their trials wellies on them.  Still,  c'mon Laird you must have a photo of this elusive gem hidden away somewhere... Didn t they do well in Scotland around that time with J.Reynolds and that French fella.....Charlie Coutard.

Hi metisse et al,

 

Sadly I'm going to have to say 'bear with' because a major rescan of negatives, starting at 1978 and then 1979, etc., is currently in hand, which will be followed by a period of cataloguing in readiness for publishing, uniquely, in ORRe a whole series of articles - the ultimate intention being to get all of them out into the public record.

 

We have already published no less than 26 magazines in the first year, so the pace is relentless for a 50+ page magazine roughly every fortnight from a total staff that could be counted on one hand..........

 

So, sorry - but 'bear with'.

Hi metisse,

 

Don't know whether this shot of John Reynolds is of the correct vintage because photographer Barry Robinson loaned a negative collection to another magazine, complete with all the records of where and when, and the records were lost..........

 

But, if it stirs memories, enjoy.

 

Deryk
