TWO-& FOUR-WHEELED SUPPORT
It’s vital to have solid support with transport in Scotland to complement the valued and muchneeded input of both the Classic and Trial Magazine contributors covering both the Pre-65 Scottish and the Six Days. Once again, in 2022, the four-wheeled transport was courtesy of Tri-Angle Kia with the
Kia Sorrento 2.2 CRDI 3 DCT AWD with MontesaHonda kindly providing the two-wheeled Montesa Cota 4Ride. FOUR WHEELS – KIA SORRENTO
When the ‘Midnight Black’ 2022 model Kia Sorrento 2.2 CRDI 3 DCT AWD arrived back all ‘logoed up’ from our good friends at Leek Signs, to say we were impressed is an understatement; it looked stunning. David Dench, the Director of Tri-Angle Kia in Chesterfield, has supported us with vehicles at the SSDT since our first year of covering the event in 2007. Versatile in all areas, the attributes of performance, economy and handling make the vehicle ideal for what is needed in rugged areas found around the six-day course.
TWO WHEELS – MONTESA COTA 4RIDE
Since its inception in 2016, we have been using this legendary four-stroke powered motorcycle to follow the event. No matter how you ride the machine on the open tracks and roads, the availability of its extra performance and all-round capabilities, including slow-speed trials-type riding, superb fuel range and reliability, means it remains our motorcycle of choice. The S3 electric starter kit was a very welcome fitment — push the button; it has to be the future.
John Hulme – thank you: “I would like to acknowledge the support with the transport from David Dench at Tri-Angle Kia and Graham Foster-Vigors at Honda UK, Mickey Oates Motorcycles and Martin Murphy from Leven Homes for the two wheels. ‘Team’ Army kept me fuelled and watered.
“I was kept warm and dry with riding kit from; Apico (Hebo, Forma and Leatt); Camio Moto (Comas); and Trialendurodirect (S3 and Mots).
“Without the support of my fantastic wife, Jane, none of the magazines would ever happen. I would also like to thank the Clerk of the Course, Jeff Horne, and the Edinburgh & District Motor Club for allowing me the privilege of going out on the course. Thank you.”
