Being a trials man myself I enjoyed the Greeves Scottish story featuring Chris Cullen in the September 2019 issue.
The last time I saw Chris Cullen was on a Steam Packet ferry, bound for Douglas and the ISDT in September 1971.
I was 17 and on my way to the IoM for my first time, riding my own Greeves Anglian and helping to open and close gates in the event.
Chris was riding a 351cc Yamaha DT entered by Bob Gollner Motorcycles. His bike looked fantastic, but I do remember that it had what appeared to be a smallish front wheel with a biggish tyre on it.
The bike was an American/European market model, so maybe that’s how it was. His riding number was 262, but I never found out what happened to him in the event.
