the Northern Districts Trials Club.
Best club in SE/QLD at the time. ;)
I was actively riding trials and enduros with that club from the start which I think was in 1975 until 1980 and have very fond memories of that time. I am still in contact with some of the people who were in that club in that era and it is always good to catch up. This Sunday will be one of those times for catching up - at the Jeff Gough Memorial Trial at Bennoble.

I found one engine'less about 10 years ago and sold it to Don Newell for a couple of hundred who's probably still hoarding it err preparing it for sale I mean.

Just as I hoped at the SQTA Jeff Gough Trial, as well as the many long-time trials stalwarts there were people I hadn't talked with since the 1970s. One was Paul Smoothy from Coorparoo, another was Gary Jackson from Bulimba and the third was Shorty Hall, who was a founding member of the Northern Districts Motorcycle Trials Club.
