Issue 3 / Autumn 2013
Another great trial at Ash Kent’s Property at Aramoho, Wanganui. The Expert for the day was Glen Bullock on his
TLR200 and it seemed with the range of downhill segments of sections that the 4 stoke Hondas came into their own with
TLR200 riders winning the Expert, A & B Grade. Gerard Bull took the A Grade from his grandson Joseph Rivers (KT
Kawasaki) and he beat his dad Julian (Fantic) Rovers into third. In the B Grade Craig Bagley took out his first event win
by one point from Tod (Fantic 200) Palenski while I trailed in a distant third.
The next event on the Twinshock calendar is Sunday May 26th at the Hughes property Kakariki Rd, Halcombe for the
Manawatu Twinshock Championships. There will be prizes on the day from Kiwi Rider, Fox and Belray Oils.
‘Classic Cover’ have great deals on classic bike insurance whether road, race, dirt or trials. As an example, a trials bike
can be insured for $72 per year ‘covering while in transit to events on a trailer as well as locked on your property.’ I
highly recommend you contact Larry Barnett at larry.barnett@classiccover.co.nz as you may find your trials bike is not
covered by your personal effects or home & contents/property insurance policies.
