Our club calendar in 2011 went out the window as properties were inaccessible due to rain. However this was a very minor inconvenience compared to the impact of flooding on so many Queenslanders. Trials legend Jeff Gough was among those lost to flooding. Graham Weiss pointed out Jeff to me at Conondale in 2010 and he cut quite a figure with his smooth riding on his immaculate Montesa and of course he had his trademark cigarette resting on his lip. Unfortunately Jeff ’s comeback was cut short crossing a creek and the trials community marked his Terry Davey gives his late model Bultaco a work out.

A word from the president Newly anointed WDTC president Graham Weiss was the second signed up member of the club some 30 years ago so he has plenty of background to lead the club in 2012…. and he is still a difficult bugger to beat on his blue Bultaco.

With bikes featured from the 1880s through to 2009 there is plenty to see at the facility between Toowoomba and Brisbane. For the trials aficionados the Mick Andrews replica Ossa and The Greeves Scottish model would be of particular interest. Entry is $15 for adults and $10 for children. www.australianmotorcyclemuseum.com.au. Well worth a visit. The Montesa 250cc King Scorpion looks ready to take on the nearest trail. Note the horn on the airbox, speedometer, carrier and reflective decals for road use. The Ossa Mick Andrew replica MAR features a signature on the name board from the Derbyshire legend himself. The 1970 Roken Trail Breaker is not a trials bike but it would be interesting to pilot it up the hill climb at Conondale. The bike which was used on the Alaskan oil fields has two wheel drive, is waterpoof and floats. The BMW R27 was the last single cylinder bike made by the Bavarian Motorworks and featured a rubber mounted engine producing 18 horsepower. The shaft drive bike had a special Earles suspension system to prevent the bike diving when the front brake was applied. The front of the pillion seat has a ring which is a mystery to me and unfortunately there no prizes for the most creative explanation. More than 15,000 of these rugged machines were The 1948 350cc single Victoria is another quality built between 1960 and 1967.

  • Historia De SEAT
    HISTORIA DE LOS AÑOS 50 La "Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo" (SEAT) apareció el 9 de mayo de 1950 en el despacho de un notario. Firmaron la escritura pública el INI (Instituto Nacional de Industria), cinco bancos españoles y la empresa automovilística Fiat, que aportaba su tecnología y experiencia en el sector. Además, Fiat, dada su posición de privilegio en el pacto, impuso los criterios económico-industriales por encima de los criterios políticos deseados por los miembros del estado totalitario. Gracias a este hecho, la fábrica se construyó finalmente en unos terrenos de la Zona Franca de Barcelona, muy cerca del puerto y, por lo tanto, con muy buenas comunicaciones, descartando la ubicación de las instalaciones en una zona "más española" como hubiera sido Merimé, que era la preferida por las autoridades. En los primeros tiempos de funcionamiento de la sociedad, los principales lugares de responsabilidad fueron ocupados por ingenieros militares como José Ortiz Echagüe, primer presidente de la empresa, o Luís Villar Molina, que inspeccionaba periódicamente a través de las 22 hectáreas de las instalaciones los avances en las obras de construcción de las naves montado en su caballo. Las primeras naves empezaron a levantarse poco después de que el congreso norteamericano aprobase un crédito de 62 millones de dólares fruto del final del aislamiento internacional al cual se había sometido el estado español desde la II guerra Mundial debido al triunfo, aquí, del fascismo. De todas maneras, esta apertura de fronteras fue más debido al hecho de haberse demostrado la ineficacia del embargo y a los intereses comerciales que no a la concesión de libertades.

  • Montesa History
    History ORIGINS The history of Montesa goes back to 1944, when a young Barcelona industrialist, Pere Permanyer Puigjaner, 33, began to produce his own gas generators for automobiles, thus opening a new branch of activities in the motorcycle industry. The gas generator industry was characteristic of Spanish life during the post-Civil War period. During the Second World War, 1939-1945 and during the time of Spanish reconstruction after its devastating civil war from 1936-39, the shortage of fuel had paralysed Spanish transport in such a way that the application of the gas generator system (an artful procedure for obtaining fuel by burning almond shells) was at that time a virtually magical resource for running cars, trucks and electrical generators. Pedro Permanyer had learned of the performance of vegetable combustion through the business founded by his grandfather, who had devoted his time to the importing and distribution of coal. Carbones Permanyer obtained the raw material from Corsica and Sicily and shipped it to Barcelona aboard its own schooners. Pedro Permanyer Puigjaner was born in Barcelona on 21 July 1911. At the age of 11 he and his family moved to the new family home in the Sant Martí district of Barcelona, where the family firm was located. His involvement in the neighbourhood and his work with local youth and the development of the district earned him the "San Martín de Oro" prize in 1975, awarded by the Municipal District Office for his "international presence". Although for a certain period of time he worked in the family firm under the direction of his father, he soon showed a natural inclination for industry and a passion for mechanics.
