Bainbridge Hill Climb

[johnnyboxer]

Good to see 2 World Champions battling it out ....just for fun

It really is a unique sort of event and stems from the Bainbridge sports days from the 1960's & 1970's when there was fell running, team ball sports and running races, plus motorcycle off-road racing when local lads, pitted themselves against the factory riders of the day and maybe took a win, a story to tell the grandkids - the day I beat such & such in mi back yard ...

That can still happen today - a local farmer's son on a 20 year old 520 KTM, knocked out World Champion Graham Jarvis on a full factory 2020 Husky tonight - so upsets can happen


Great night out and full of Dales folk and farmers too

Had a couple of pints in West Burton pub afterward with a few folk to round off the evening

Extreme Enduro World Champion Graham Jarvis getting his factory Husky lined up



World Enduro and USA GNCC Champion Knighter on the far right slot



At the end - Knighter was either winner or runner up on the Suzuki



Cool truck to transport your dirt bikes in

First time I’ve missed in a few years. Did you bump into my dad JB?

No, didn't see your Dad sadly - it was thronged and a vintage year with Jarvis & Knighter racing this year
Saw Nigel Mc racing and Barry/Stu who were scrutineering

Which has been described as a really dangerous village fete!

The problem with Bainbridge is the bloody loud music, hope it was quieter last night?
