My condolences to his family.

Great write up and photos here. I never met him but would have liked to  as he sounded a great character and had very interesting life. I was born just down the rode from the garage

 

"His first interest in bikes was whilst he was doing his apprenticeship in Totnes at WH Jordan, a Morris Cars and BSA agent at the top of the town. The motorcycle was in a garden not far from there. The lady had it jacked up with a belt on it fixed to a tool bench- Brian showed so much interest in it she gave it to him. He took it apart and took it back to Harberton on a pushbike bit by bit. Eventually he got it going and ran it for a couple of years."

RIP Brian. My first experiences in motorcycling 30 years ago, involved Trotts in Totnes. A real character and one of the good guys.

The Dartmoor Section of the VMCC  newsletter even has given this topic a mention:-

"The death of Brian Trott had been reported in the local papers. Brian was well known to many of our members for a variety of reasons. His funeral is to be held at St Marys , Totnes at 2.00pm on Wednesday the 10th December. Any members wishing to pay their respects  would be appreciated by family."

I'm sure that it will be well attended by motorcyclists.

Martyn
