CIRCUIT BREAKER

In answer to ‘An Old Git Writes’ by Geoff Griggs (Letters, November), I remember electric motorcycle­s at the Earls Court motorcycle show. I’m not too sure they were the same ones Geoff wrote about – these were sponsored by Filtrate Oils and were trials bikes that could be ridden around a trials course inside the show. I cannot remember the make of these bikes, but they were good fun to ride. Above is the certificat­e awarded to me in 1966 for completing the course. I was 17 at the time and was obviously proud of this certificat­e at the time, because I have kept it for the last 50 years.
