11 Exclusive - A detailed career interview with the 1980 world trials champion Ulf karlson |
It was a real pity because I was very motivated earlier that year. I had 1, 2 or 3 of the previous Swedish championship trials, my placing had improved much and I was going up up up and when they took the licence I had to stop. It was me and one other guy was just the two of us that do this thing at the hotel. We were pushing each other to do this silly thing and ha ha ha ha. This silly thing we do in Belgium in Verviers.
This exhaust was made for me by Felix Kranstrover and the factory was not so happy because I no have the standard exhaust. The year after he work for KTM. It was a very very good silencer.

So 1973 was finished and then we are going to 1974, what were your thoughts and hopes for this year?
I have practiced a lot on throughout the previous year and I realised that I had to complete all of the rounds in the European Championship and this is what I do. I don't remember the first trial of the year but I know that I had many very good results for the year. The Montesa factory started to hear about me and they wanted to get involved and start to help me. This was at the start of 74 and the first time that the factory get involved with me.

This photo is John Metcalf with me at the Scottish. I have ridden the Scottish 6 or 7 times.
Did you enjoy it?
Not. I like the country but I did not like to ride for 6 days. It is always raining and snowing, but I am used to that.
