There's never many twin-shocks in Lancs County trials, but one rider who is persevering with one of the least popular twin-shocks is Robert Taylor who has recently been campaigning a 349 Montesa/Honda.

Made around 1983-85, there were a significant number of these bikes at the time but they fetch little money now when they come up for sale, with the result that Robert and his dad Dave have a collection numbering several!

Robert has been riding the best of the bunch for several months now and whilst he's probably the first to admit they are not that competitive when campaigned in modern trials, he did have a good result on his at the recent evening trial when he finished seventh overall.

The next best bike has been loaned out to several riders for use and it will be Lancs County's secretary Mike Rapley who will be the next victim - he's riding one in the Cumberland County two day trial on June 20/21.
