Motorcycle Trials- SSDT

[Manic]

I've been following the results for the Scottish Six Day Trial and at the moment after five days Dougy Lampkin hasn't dropped a single point all week, looking like he's going to get his 11th event win- incredible
Definitely something in the Lampkin blood.

Must be getting too easy!

Didn't know he was riding his own bike.

Yes, if I remember right he rode it last year as well.

Nice chap aswell, met him a few times when he was younger and I observed the British Rounds.
Him and Steve Saunders about the most pleasant blokes.
He is riding the Vertigo I did look at these when I was looking for a new bike but a mate from the trials club said they are having a few issues still, if you have a look at the titanium one they do a lot of money but looks "the dogs".

Yes very nice looking and only 69 Kg

69kg and I think therein lies the reason for the "clean". Compare that to Jackson's one dab in the sixties when bikes weighed in the region of twice that. Still a very creditable run of victories though for Lampkin.

What a perfect name for the stunts he pulls.

Yep very nice bloke very approachable along with many of the trials boys.

I went to school with Steve Saunders and used to buy his used tyres and kit.
Didn't make me ride any better though

I think you could give these guys a Honda 90 and they would still do well

Well Dougy Lampkin won his 11th SSDT and best over 40 rider, but he didn't stay clean for the whole six days, he dropped 1 point on section 8 of the final day equalling the lowest score set in 1961 by Gordon Jackson.
Dougies cousin James Lampkin won overall in the 201-250 class.
What a family.

Don't know if Steves dad is still alive? Lovely chap I did a training day and he was very chatty when we had a break, made tea for us, it was where his dad was the caretaker of a private school I think.
