ISSUE 20
Our twentieth (already?!) issue of ORRe is another busy 50+ page homage to the world of classic offroad sport. Firstly we look at how the sport restarted after the enforced break of the 1939-'45 War, with many more potential riders returning having been trained on motorcycles during hostilities.
The prime feature looks at the story of the first 30 years of the Pre-65 Scottish, fully illustrated throughout with a whole raft of photos from over the years.

ISSUE 17
In issue 17 we take a long look at some of the machines in use in the 1964 Scottish Six Days Trial, which must surely be one of the definitive 'Pre-65' events. Then we come right up to date with a photoreport of the February 2015 Red Rose Classic trial at Warmden.
Our personality study tells the story of Arthur Dovey, one of the riders that could make a big Triumph twin talk, and finally we present a photoreport of the Fiftieth Talmag Trophy trial, back in 1998.
Another full issue, 50+ pages and lots of new photographs included in our growing Photoserendipity feature.

ISSUE 16
In this issue we start the serialisation of a book by Max King that never made it into print.

We have a photoreport of the 1978 Allan Jefferies trial with a look at the machines in use at that time and a glimpse into a typical offroading weekend in the Spring of 2002 as well as a close look at the Talmag Trophy trial in 2001, always a well supported event with lots to see.
Finally another new feature - a photo gallery with no particular emphasis - just a random selection from the archive - with a gentle reminder that if there are any particular machines or riders you would like to see - just ask - it is an interactive magazine...

ISSUE 15
In Issue 15 we take a light-hearted and topical look at the effect of snow and ice on our sports. We tell the story of Ken Sedgely, another sports all-rounder and complete our detailed analysis of the development of the AJS and Matchless Competition Models - definitely the most comprehensive ever published.
In this issue we also introduce a new feature with an extended photogallery of images from each of our offroad sports over the years, in the hope that it will generate requests for more detailed examination of aspects of the sport, such as the stories of specific riders or different types of machines, etc. We are determined to extend the scope of this new digital venture to take real advantage of the interactive opportunities the media presents.

ISSUE 14
Our second installment of ORRe for the new year, number fourteen, is a bumper 60 page+ issue! In it we continue the detailed look into the AJS/Matchless Competition Machine development. Also, after a subscriber asked for more details of BSA sidecar supremo Hal Tozer, we tell his competition history. We look at the way our sport developed in Cheshire and finally, we take an exhaustive look at the post-War ISDT events in Mid-Wales. A very busy issue - but, enjoy​

In our first Issue of 2015 we continue the detailed analysis of the development of the AJS and Matchless competition machines, completing the rigid era and looking at the first springers. We pose the question 'Who was the first American to win an ISDT gold medal?' with an answer that may surprise you. Richmond's Blue Bar trial was thirty years old last year, we tell the story of its early years and also look at some of the riders who have enjoyed the event and, finally, with entries closing shortly for the 2015 March Hare trial we look back at the 1994 event, when 185 riders enjoyed the spring scenery of the Cotswolds, finishing with a look at the machinery in classic trials in the West country in 2002.

Deryk... pictured here, by Ian Ballard...

Here Deryk is riding his newly refurbished Ariel HT5 in which he has just fitted the camshaft etc, even the engine. from the famous GOV132.

Here Deryk poses with the first Unit BSA B40 that Jim Susans ever restored. Wow What a bike.

 It was ORR that I first got most of my material for the "BSA Otter".

Reading all Ninety Nine copies over a period, and then also the hard back Reference Libraries as well, gave me a good insight to the History of the BSA Competition Department their bikes and the competitions that they competed in, over the years.

 And this was the first picture I found of "Mr Harry Foster" and his wife Carol.

Aboard their Immaculate Triumph trials outfit that they finished second in the British Experts trial on.
