ALAN VINES 1943-2021

It’s with a heavy heart that we have to report the recent passing of one of our very good friends, Alan Vines, at the age of 78.

John Hulme: “A huge fan and supporter of both Trial Magazine and Classic Trial Magazine, he loved working with me on my many projects with the supply of his outstanding pictures. I have spent many enjoyable hours on the phone where his vast knowledge of motorcycling was always a pleasure to listen to. As he wished, these pictures will still appear as part of the Alan Vines–Yoomee Archive in all our publications, including Motorcycle Retro Replay.”

Tony Davis: “It’s quite fitting that John Hulme has used an Alan Vines picture of me. The Davis family were always more than happy to meet and talk with Alan on so many occasions, and, in no doubt, his legacy will live on forever through his superb photographs. A true gentleman who will be sadly missed.”
