Johnny Giles, Triumph rider, seen here on his works Cub in the 1962 Perce Simon trial organized by the Ringwood club. Johnny was a preeminent off-roader seeing numerous ISDT’s including the infamous ’64 one riding in the British team. Eventually claiming twelve gold medals and six silver over a decade and a half. Here he is; a hale eighty-odd year old, looking forever youthful on a McQueen Trophy special…
Good form: a latter sixties period image of him running a 490cc Triumph in Germany’s Six Day.
If it had two wheels and a Triumph badge on the tank then Giles was your man!
