Exclusive - A detailed career interview with the 1980 world trials champion Ulf karlson
I have been told before I come here by certain people that you had a bit of a reputation in the bars of hotels?
Who told you ha ha ha.
One guy in England who I have got to know a little is called Steve Monk and he used to ride a trial with you back in the 70s and when I told him I was coming to meet you he told me this.
Well of course we used to drink a lot of beer after the trial has finished and especially at the prize giving it is not like today, it has all changed. I remember one time Lampkin, Rathmell and many other riders stay in the same hotel. We eat breakfast together, we make the prize giving together, we have the dinner together, so you can see we were very good company with each other and of course we were drinking a lot of wine and beer and whatever we wanted, beer in England and wine in France, so maybe this Steve Monk is right hahaha but it was not just me it was everybody.
