laird387 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) 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.

metisse Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Any chance of photos of the early red and white gunacos in action, past or present.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metisse Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 That's the one Ross, the Rolls Royce of trials bikes corca 1978/79 or so I am told..

metisse Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 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.

laird387 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 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'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hi B40RT, Ross, The ORRe clan could well be in for a Swonda feature - watch that space............ Deryk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Hi, Just remembered these Barry Robinson shots of Martin Lampkin in the Red Rose - being carefully watched by spectating Eric Adcock. Enjoy Edited August 14, 2015 by laird387 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 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 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
