Northern Classic Trial 2011

I was Marshalling on the Northern Classic Trial today. Here are a few shots of the some of the bikes and cars that went through my stage - a tight corner and slippery, steep ascent to the stage end. Enjoy...


Triumph 3TA




Triumph 6T Thunderbird


Beeza C15 or B40


Yam XT350 I think



...and finish with a old car really going for it

We got the 50th Aniversary this year of the End to End classic road reliability trial on 10th April i didn't do it last year and it starts in Bude and finishes in Sennen about 140 miles and a long day on the XR

I have to say these classic trials do like fun events to take part in. I'm hoping to get the XT250 sorted out this year and then enter next year - I wouldn't fancy trying to sling the GS round some of the sections.

About 4 years ago i saw 1 chap do it on an 1150 gs it had good times in the speed test but hopeless really on everything else. On the London - Lands End trial which passes though some of our stages there's one guy that regularily been seen doing ito a Caponard and they are heavy and cumbersum

Thought i had some photo's of it somewhere

Brilliant! It looks nice, dry and sunny there too!

There was an 1150GSA last year on the Northern Classic. Again I was observing a remote stage so I don't know how he did on other sections. He did OK on our very muddy hill climb section though. Although he didn't 'top out' I was impressed.

Those are cracking photos Jim.

Nice to see the use of Black and White photography.

Jim,

Many thanks for posting the photographs, absolutely spot on

Got me thinking


Mind you that thunderbird looks a bit of a handful - any idea how he got on ?

[africajim]

Excellent! I really like the look of that, might look into a classic of some sort to have a bash at that! Must find out more,,,,, !

Fantastic images there XRVJim,
The black & white pics certainly makes the event look even more classic, similar to watching Vic Allan doing his scrambling in the 60's & 70's.
A very good variety of machines including a proper car giving it big licks, that must have looked spectacular in the forest.
Nice one !
