Magic Moment • Honda RTL
HONDA RTL
SAUNDERS’ SINGLE SHOCKER Anyone who knows me [John Hulme] will tell you I can sometimes get very excited about motorcycle trials, never more so than when I witness any ‘Magic Moment’. Off the back of his hugely successful youth career on the Bultaco, Steve Saunders had moved into the adult world in 1982 on the Spanish machine. In truth, at that time, we all knew that Bultaco was struggling to survive, and he put pen to paper later that year to take the vacant seat at CCM/Armstrong when John Lampkin moved to Fantic. 1983 would see Saunders score his first FIM World Trials Championship points and take his first adult ACU British Trials Championship title. He was hot property in 1984 as he moved up to sixth in the world championship and secured his second British title. In the latter part of 1984, I heard he had blagged a ride on the new prototype, single-shock RTL Honda, but I thought nothing more of it. As we know, the rest is history; but how did it all come about? Off the back of the Trevor Kemp, Seeley Honda story in the last Classic Trial Magazine, I pushed Trevor to see if he knew more. As you are about to read, he was more than happy to tell us. It was one story I was about to enjoy documenting thoroughly. As they say, it was a ‘Magic Moment’ in my world of motorcycle trials.

A
s with the Seeley Honda article, the majority of the written content in this article comes from Trevor Kemp, with notes he kept at the time. Further input is from what Steve Saunders and I remember from it all — well, it was almost 40 years ago! Some notes have also been included from my old friend Toon Van De Vliet and Honda literature, which I keep in my brochure collection. Trevor takes up the story.
ALL CHANGE AT HONDA UK
There were some high-level senior management changes at Honda UK in the early 80s with the retirement of the long-time Sales and Marketing Director Eric Sulley. Gerald Davidson took over at the helm, and my job changed from being a field manager to the Off-Road Coordinator. With new motocross, trials and enduro production models coming along, I was tasked to set up an off-road dealer network, using some of our existing Honda dealers and appointing new specialist off-road ones. I also retained my position on the off-road committee, helping them to decide what specification of machinery we would have in our model range. At this time, you may remember that Honda was the FIM World Trials Champions, having first won the title in 1982 with Belgium’s superstar Eddy Lejeune on the RTL 360T four-stroke twin-shock machine. A single-cylinder four-stroke trials machine was still high on the list of ‘musthaves’ for so many motorcycle trials enthusiasts. In the summer months of 1983, Honda UK received a pre-production TLR 200, which I first rode in an Essex and Suffolk Border Club evening trial. I was very impressed with the performance of the 195cc OHC four-stroke engine; with a choice of six gears and a weight of 90kg, I was convinced it would be a popular choice for the important clubman market. There was a lot of interest from dealers, and after an internal meeting, we agreed it would be priced at £1,195. However, we were also told it would probably be late 1983 Classic Trial Magazine • Autumn 2022

or early 1984 before it would arrive in the UK; even so, every one of them was already pre-sold to the dealer network. Some aspects of the new TLR 200 model were better than the Seeley Honda, and some were not. Overall, it was the same problem with insufficient power for the serious rider, but it was still a good trials motorcycle for the clubman, and it was a Honda. Later in the year, I received a big-bore kit which I think took it to around 220cc (kindly remember this is close-on 40 years ago!) consisting of a cylinder, piston, crankshaft and revised gear cluster. Also in the kit was an alloy swinging arm. This kit improved the engine no end, and with more power and a longer stroke, it made it a better machine to ride the harder sections. We looked at bringing a number of the kits in, but it was expensive, and when added to the production cost of the TLR 200 at the time, it was not feasible. 17
Meeting • George Greenland
90 GEORGE GREENLAND
NOT OUT!
It’s not often that a motorcyclist’s competitive riding career spans 74 years, but that is the case with George Greenland, who, at 90 years of age in July, is still competing regularly in Pre-65 trials each weekend and plans to continue to ride as long as he is able. I bought a Wasp Trials motorcycle that George built several years back, which, he says, ‘seems to have a lifetime warranty’. As a result of this purchase, I’m lucky enough to spend time with George finding out about the tricks of trials machine maintenance and listening to stories of his motorcycling life. George started riding trials at 16 years of age and has ridden trials throughout his life, apart from during the late 1970s, and early 1980s when he was dominating the ACU British Sidecar Enduro championship with five championship wins in six years. He has also ridden solo trials, sidecar trials and beach races and dabbled in scrambles and grass-track. At 90 years of age, he recalls many great motorcycling exploits with infectious enthusiasm, but he is still highly competitive, building bikes, taking class wins and winning trophies.

eorge: “It all started in 1948. I hated school, they didn’t teach me anything I wanted to know, so I left and got an apprenticeship at Avon Motors when I was 14. On a Monday evening, on the way home from work, I saw a bloke cleaning his muddy motorcycle; this happened week after week. One day I asked him how he got it so muddy; he said he rode in trials, and there was a local event coming up that I could come and watch if I wanted. I rode my pushbike out and immediately thought, ‘I’d like to have a go at that’! My first motorcycle was a rigid 250cc Royal Enfield with girder forks. A year later, in 1949, I won my first trials trophy with the Novice Award at Salisbury Motorcycle and Light Car Club, who I still ride with annually, in the Arbuthnot Trial.” There weren’t too many awards in the first two years, but in 1950 George bought a Norton 500T. He started riding nationals and winning many awards, including First Class awards in the XHG Priory Trial, the Dick Farquharson and the Perce Simon, and Premier Awards at the Ringwood Committee Cup and the Ernie Britton. During this period, he also met Maureen, now his wife of 66 years; she also rode motorcycles, and they have shared the family motorcycle journey ever since. George has many of the machines he has ridden, either keeping them or buying them back when they became available, but the Norton 500T registration number KYR 60 is still on the wanted list. Classic Trial Magazine • Autumn 2022
Pushing hard in the mud in the late 1940s.
“Maureen and I rode the Norton 500T together. In those days, trials was a winterseason sport; you rode your machine to the trial, rode the trial and then rode it home again. Maureen used to come with me, and some of the trials were pillion, so we rode sections together. Otherwise, she would observe; we’d turn up, take off the lights, the pillion footrests and anything else we didn’t need, and put them
back on to return home. We would travel miles and miles; it was our only mode of transport, so we had dynamo lights and put an inner tube on the dynamo wheel to make the lights work better! So many top motorcyclists rode trials. I got to know Geoff Duke because he rode trials in the winter, and then in the summer, we would ride all over the place to watch him in road racing.”
In 1950 George bought a Norton 500T.

FIRST LOVE MECATECNO
Justyn Norek Jnr still has his first trials machine that his father bought him, a 50cc Mecatecno ‘Alevin’.
A phone call from our good family friend Carlo Ramella opened with an invitation to his summer chalet in the Alps to have a weekend together and to ride one of his numerous classic trials machines in this beautiful, exposed area. I have already ridden some of his fabulous machines, which, before knowing Carlo, I would never dreamt about having the chance to ever put my hands on. The first one was the legendary Sammy Miller Ariel GON 786; the sister machine GOV 132 lives in his superb museum in Great Britain. Having won the trust of Carlo for not crashing his Ariel, which is worth a fortune or any of his other machines in his vast collection that I have ridden, we initiated a long friendship and a unique chance to try and enjoy riding many other rare ex-works trials motorcycles. As usual, the question on the phone was which machine to test next. Carlo proposed many motorcycle names before he mentioned a Mecatecno; I was all ears. You may wonder why my choice was easy this time. The reason is very simple, the first trials machine my father bought me was a 50cc Mecatecno’ Alevin’. I still have this machine in my garage, and despite having had many offers to sell it, I keep it for sentimental reasons. You never forget your first love, do you?

Small holes had been drilled by one of the previous owners to shave some weight off the machine. Heavily influenced by the Austrian Rotax rotary disc valve, Mecatecno designed their own version in-house; literally a brand-new engine.
It has a forward-motion kickstart lever to start it, just like the Fantic 300
E
stablished in 1979 by three ex-Derbi motorcycle employees, Jordi Rabassa, Joan Ruig and designer Ramon Mira, the Mecatecno Company first started making children’s motorcycles which grew over the years into an extensive range with a young target age group. In 1981 they produced a prototype twinshock trials machine using a modified Minarelli engine. This was followed by a larger capacity engine series of machines such as the MR we have on test, followed by the Dragonfly and finally the Skywalker models. Carlo Ramella takes up the story of how he acquired the Mecatecno MR 326 trials model. “In 2012, I had exchanged some letters with a gentleman, Mr Figol, who was a Spanish collector of motorcycles. He advertised that he was selling a Honda RTL 250, something I was very interested in and had been looking for over a long period of time with an intention to buy this great machine. During intense negotiations for the purchase of the Honda, Mr Figol had mentioned that he also had in his collection a rare ex-works Mecatecno MR 326 that had been used by the factory riders, including Ronald Garcia and Albert Juvanteny. Hearing this news, my adrenaline level rose, which increased further as he told me more about the machine. I was thinking he really has a Mecatecno MR 326 – a very rare and an early model still with drum brakes yet equipped with mono-shock suspension at the rear! The problem was he did not want to sell the Mecatecno, only the Honda RTL. After a long but friendly conversation showing how we were both very keen about trials machines, I managed to convince him to sell me both the Mecatecno and the Honda RTL. We both ‘shook hands’ over the telephone, and the deal was done; now I just had to organise picking up both machines, which were in Andorra!” Classic Trial Magazine • Autumn 2022

International • 1982 FIM WTC
1982
FIM WORLD TRIALS CHAMPIONSHIP A strong, consistent season in 1981 would witness 19-year-old Frenchman Gilles Burgat becoming the youngest rider ever to win the FIM World Trials Championship, a record which still stands. As 1982 opened, however, it would be a change of power in the world championship for both riders and manufacturers. With the lure of more Italian Lira than SWM would offer, Gilles Burgat moved to the new 240 Fantic model as the Italian manufacturer raised its financial involvement in the world series. American Bernie Schreiber ditched the struggling Italjet project and moved to the vacant seat at SWM with a tried-and-tested machine. As the well-documented financial problems hit the mighty three manufacturers Bultaco, Montesa and Ossa in Spain, their world championship-winning riders, including Yrjo Vesterinen (Bultaco-FIN) 1977–1978 and Ulf Karlson (Montesa-SWE) 1980, were coming to the end of their careers. The old guard of English riders, including the first FIM World Trials Champion, in 1975, Martin Lampkin (Bultaco) and Malcolm Rathmell (Montesa), were in the same boat. This new generation would see other younger names joining Burgat and Schreiber, including 18-year-old Thierry Michaud (SWM-FRA) and another Lampkin, Arthur’s son John, on the new two-stroke Hiro engined CCM trials machine. As the trick riding, which included the ‘Pivot Turn’ and BunnyHop’, became more familiar, a new sound was beginning to have an impact at the very top of the sport; a young spectacle-wearing Belgian rider by the name of Eddy Lejeune on the four-stroke Honda. He had already tasted victory in 1980, with three wins, before winning again in 1981 in Belgium and Ireland. As we take a look at the first six rounds of the 12-round 1982 FIM World Trials Championship, Eddy Lejeune would lead the way, winning four rounds, followed by Schreiber and Burgat on one win each. Were we about to see a Japanese manufacturer with a four-stroke trials machine win its first-ever FIM World Trials Championship? We would have to wait and see.

An early start to the season would begin with rain in Spain on 21st February. In the damp conditions, four-stroke power claimed the win; Eddy Lejeune was the man on form. In Belgium, again, damp conditions continued but, riding on his doorstep, Lejeune again dominated with a huge winning margin. In Great Britain, at the third consecutive world round on the bounce, Michelin tyres were out in force with a choice of four compounds available to the selected supported riders; it was just like Formula one! American Bernie Schreiber needed a win, and he duly delivered on a cold, dry day before the series break until mid-May. With Schreiber winning the Scottish Six Days Trial, beating Lejeune, who finished third, he arrived in Italy as the one to beat. But, under warm skies, Lejeune was having none of it; in a very tough trial, he again out-pointed his American rival. Would you believe that a French rider on French rubber won the French round? The defending champion Gilles Burgat gave the 240 Fantic model its first world round win on new super-sticky Michelin tyres. The top three all used the same compound tyre but using his home advantage Burgat was the winner. In Germany, a week later, Lejeune put on a masterclass of riding in a show of strength to take an easy victory. The season’s opening half would conclude on 6th June in Austria with the Belgian Honda rider 11 points in front of Schreiber and well clear of third-placed Burgat. Of the old guard, only Ulf Karlson remained in the top five with 17 points, some 67 behind the leader Lejeune; times were changing.

HIGHLAND CLASSIC
A GOLDEN CELEBRATION It seems like an eternity since Mick Andrews won the 1972 Scottish Six Days Trial on the Ossa, the last win for the iconic Spanish motorcycle manufacturer — 50 years ago, to be exact. This win was a highly prestigious one, with the fight between Bultaco, Montesa and Ossa commanding the bragging rights, which, of course, would be followed by machine sales. It was very much a case at the time of win on Sunday, sell on Monday. With all this in mind, the Inverness and District Motor Cycle Club Limited decided that their extremely popular Highland Classic Two-Day Trial in Scotland would, for 2022, be titled the ‘Ossa Edition’. So it was time for them to make the telephone call to the winner of the 1972 ‘Scottish’ Mick Andrews to invite him to be their guest of honour. Still, as super-enthusiastic as he was when he won in 1972, he gladly accepted their offer. Words: John Moffat and Classic Trial Magazine • Photographs: Iain Lawrie and Fin Yeaman

GUEST OF HONOUR AND A THEME
Mick Andrews and John Moffat
Why a guest of honour, you may ask? The Inverness and District Motor Cycle Club’s Company and General Secretary, John Moffat, went to Spain in 2012 and was invited as the guest of his Spanish friend, Javier Cruz. Javier would lend John a Bultaco for the Spanish ‘Robregordo’ event near Madrid. Friends for many years, both were super motorcycle trials enthusiasts. Speaking with fellow British rider and motorcycle journalist Tim Britton, they had both enjoyed the event and its success and agreed that the winning formula included the invitation of a guest of honour; in this case, it was Sammy Miller. The following year, in 2013, Finland’s three-time FIM World Trials Champion Yrjo Vesterinen would be the guest of honour at the Highland Classic, which brought with him a host of other star Bultaco riders, creating the ‘Bultaco Classic Trials Team’ for the 2013 Highland Classic. The event now also had a theme. Since then, they have had, in 2014, Dave Thorpe and the Thorpe Edition; 2015, Bill Wilkinson and the tenth edition of the two-day event; 2016, Mick Andrews and the Yamscot edition; 2017, Rob Shepherd and Nick Jefferies as the Honda edition; 2018, Dougie Bald and the Montesa edition; 2019, Bernie Schreiber and the SWM edition. As we know, the pandemic stopped the 2020 edition returning in 2021 with the ‘Fantic Edition’, with guest Steve Saunders. The organising club has always encouraged riders to enter their machines associated with the theme, and 2022 was no different, with a delightful selection of Ossa machinery on display. Team Ossa

EURO WINNER
MICK ANDREWS
(OSSA-GBR)
No, we are not talking of a lottery winner, but Mick Andrews (OssaGBR), who, by the time the year ended, had retained the European Trials Championship, having first won it in 1971; he was a very happy man. At a time when English riders and Spanish motorcycle manufacturers still dominated the trials world, this title was the one to win. Ossa had a new machine, the MAR (Mick Andrews Replica), and they knew the victory would secure sales of the new model. The first production batch of the very first MAR Ossa replica machines had arrived from Spain at the London Show just before the European season commenced in Belgium. Mick Andrews had his own machine, but the first production models would go to the official UK importer Peter Fletcher and his riders Mick Bowers, Arthur Lampkin, Dave Thorpe and Bill Wilkinson. The Spanish machines dominated the trials market, and it was big business in the early ’70s. Very shortly, the Japanese would start to take a serious interest in the appeal of trials as a family sport. Words: Classic Trial Magazine, Mick Andrews • Pictures: Alan Vines, Yoomee Archive

Dave Thorpe (Ossa-GBR): Along with the new machine came the success; one week later Dave would win the ACH British Championship round, the Traders Cup Trial.
As Sammy Miller re-signed for Bultaco for a further three years, having — allegedly — turned down an offer from Yamaha to develop a new two-stroke 360cc, all eyes were on the big four of Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha as the interest became more intense in the trials world.
BIG BULTACOS
Trials machine development had started to move towards larger-capacity engines, and at the opening round of the 1972 Championship in Belgium, three prototype 325cc Bultacos had appeared in the hands of the Spanish riders Fernando Munoz, Ignatio Bulto and Jaime Marques. Mick Andrews had won on the Ossa, and his results drew attention. Before long other riders, including Derek Adsett, who had been at Greeves for nine years, and then Mick Wilkinson would also make a move. Andrews won again in Ireland at the Hurst Cup as Malcolm Rathmell followed him home again, as he had done in the first round. As Rathmell won the opening round of the ACU British Trials Championship, the St David’s Trial in Wales on the 250cc, Sammy Miller took the first win for the 325cc Bultaco at the Don Mountstevens Trial on his debut with the new prototype machine. Malcolm Rathmell carried his good form to the third round of the European Championship in France at Sancerre to beat Andrews by a clear 20 marks. However, one week later, Mick Andrews took the win at Matadepera in front of a huge contingent of fans from the Ossa factory. Whilst in Spain, Martin Lampkin, along with his brother Alan and Malcolm Rathmell, had picked up new prototype 325cc models. Martin rode his to second place with Rathmell fifth and elder brother Alan seventh. Montesa had their hopes of glory with Gordon Farley, but he badly cut his hand in Spain, forcing his retirement, which left the door open for fellow British rider Rob Edwards to be the highest-placed Montesa rider in fourth place.
