1990 Alfer TX 300 trial. There were only 50 of these made and none came into the UK. Bizarrely I met a nice guy, Alfer factory rider at the show, Craig Bounds. I'm not worthy :). This guy has started the Dakar 5 times and finished it 3 times. On one occasion he broke his back. He was so knowledgeable on Alfer, Enduro and the Dakar, I can't tell you.

He lives, breathes and sleeps bikes - you can tell :). It was great to meet him and hear what he had to say.

Every bike fitted into the Catalan related category in some way and so it was fitting that it should be wrapped in Catalan flags :)
