laird387 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hi capper. Glad you liked the shot of Rob Edwards - but give me a clue as to what it was that you particularly liked, then I can add similar images. Was it Rob, the Montesa or maybe the fact that it was an image from that era? Any views anybody? To add to the fun here's another '70s shot, this time Brian Hutchinson on his Suzuki/ Enjoy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 If it is just 'old' photos that tickle your fancy, then how about this image taken by Bob Light at the 1986 Bemrose of D Capper in action - there is a feature on that event in ORRe-issue 52. Enjoy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bothfeetdown Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) I was a teenager in the 1970s and rode a TL125 in local club trials, these pictures give an insight and an opportunity to look back at those times. The riding clobber alone is worth the photos being published, the main thing is seeing the bikes you'd have liked to have owned and ridden Edited February 5, 2017 by bothfeetdown 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo was taken by Barry Robinson - who was Clerk of the Course of the Ilkley event for many years. Enjoy. PS. There are of course, dozens of images of the 247's in ORRe, our digital magazine, if you would like free copies - join the club!

laird387 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Hi bultacorock, I know I have shots of Rob on his Montesa - it has to be a case of 'bear with' for the minute - but I promise, stick with us and they will be found............. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hi bultacorock, I did promise, so here is another of Rob, thanks for rejoining the digital magazine - and a word to anyone interested in ORRe - like this forum it is totally interactive, you let me know what you would like and if I have it, it will definitely go into the magazine - and that is a promise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
