Al Logue is one of those iconic Canadian racers of the ’70s and ’80s whose story should be told. Al grew up in Hamilton, ON, and at 16 years old he was riding a Yamaha DT-1 on the street until a serious accident sent him into the dirt for a safer place to play. “Loguey Bear, ” as he was and is affectionately known, enjoyed support from a number of motorcycle distributors back in the heyday when genuine works bikes frequented race tracks from coast to coast.
Al was first noticed by Jim Kelly, then president of the Steel City Riders club, when riding around the Burlington Clay Pits, a popular riding area. Logue handily beat some of the local racers and Kelly suggested he enter some races.
In 1973, at 18 years old, he bought a 250 Husqvarna and won a number of races his first season. Later that year he headed west with some friends to the Blackfoot Park track in Calgary for the Junior Nationals. Al took home the 250 title, winning one of the three 30-minute motos and placing on the box the other two. He was noticed by then Manley Kawasaki team manager Carl Bastedo, who offered him a ride for the following ice racing season on Team Green.
In 1974 Suzuki Canada offered Logue the dream ride, a full works Suzuki to race the entire season as a Senior. Al and his full-time mechanic Bill Fullerton were often on the road together racing the Quebec-based Laurentide series where a number of top placings came their way.
Lean years in 1975 and ’76 aboard CZs, the archaic communist-bloc machines, didn’t allow Logue to show his potential; he broke his wrist and continued to ride with his arm in a cast. Logue was still one the hotshoes on the scene and did show promising results which were enough to re-launch his career.
In 1977 he was given a break by Yamaha Motor Canada and landed a seat on the fastest 125 cc bike on the planet, the famed OW27. The OW27 was a revolutionary bike, the world’s first liquid-cooled motocrosser. Logue rode a year-old version at the beginning of the season, a hand-me-down bike ridden by factory rider Nicky Kinoshita the year before. Because of some good results, Yamaha brought in a new OW27 for Logue to ride at the nationals and he rewarded them with the Canadian title. Logue continued on with the Hamamatsu-based factory for the next four years but none were as successful as his first season with the brand. He was invited to race in Europe for three 125 cc Grand Prix in 1978, with limited success.
“It was hard to travel alone in Europe, the first race in Italy poured rain, I couldn’t believe they didn’t call the race, ” Logue recalls. “I made it to Holland and France where I had some top-10 results which made the trip worthwhile. I was invited to stay on in Europe but Yamaha Canada wanted me back to race the Montreal Supercross, so I headed home. “
After Yamaha, Al went to Honda for his final seasons as a rider in 1981 and 1982; but as with many racers, a hard fall all but ended his career. He was riding the national at the famed Austin, MB sand track where he knocked himself out and laid on the track for 20 minutes. He tried to keep racing but CMA personnel ended his season at the next race in British Columbia, citing he wasn’t fit to race without a doctor’s release. That ended Al’s career as a racer, but in January 1983, Al received a call from Suzuki Canada and Flew down to Anaheim, CA to begin spinning wrenches for one of winningest riders in Canadian motocross history, Ross Pederson.
The Pederson job lasted three seasons and earned the duo numerous championships; Al subsequently worked for a few other privateer riders but found them unmotivated. “I like to win, ” says AL. “Some of the riders weren’t willing to put in the hard work like Ross did. “
Al cites one of his career highlights as being asked to wrench for former 250 cc motocross world champion Danny Laporte in Europe for the 1986 season. Sadly he turned the job down due to marital obligations.
Logue left the motocross scene for a long spell and spent 12 seasons working for four-time Canadian NASCAR champion Scott Steckly’s highly successful team. He has recently surfaced on the motorcycle scene with the resurgence of vintage motocross.
Al Logue is one of those fun-loving characters who the buzz always seems to revolve around; we wish there were more guys like him around racing these days.

Al has been my friend since that day he screeched in front of my house on that funky blue painted Yamaha DT1. We travelled to Steel City Riders meetings together. We travelled all over Ontario and New York together and we became Canadian Champions together in 1973. A remarkable rider and tuner / builder. He understood bikes better than me and could race the wheels off any size and any brand. We don’t see other as much any more but the two of us built a life time full of memories and stay in touch !!

Nach dem modernen Amerikasaal gelangen Sie in den eleganten und hellen Weißen Saal, der einst als Lese- und Entspannungsraum diente.
Jahrhunderts, wie der Europasaal mit seinem imposanten Glasdach,
den acht Kronleuchtern aus böhmischem Kristall und den Werken von Picard,
Steck, Lucas und Ribera. Das Herz des Kasinos schlägt auch im Rhythmus der
Kunstwerke, die es beherbergt. Am Eingang befindet sich ein wunderschönes Atrium, das mit Marmor gepflastert und mit 28 ionischen Säulen versehen ist.
Schon seine Fassade verspricht eine ganz besondere Welt.
Seine gewundenen Elemente verliehen ihm einen geschmackvollen Jugendstil.
Das Gebäude verfügt über eine wunderschöne Glasdecke aus dem Jahr 1889.
Nach dem Saal Europa ist dies unser zweitliebster Saal auf der Strecke.
Während der Öffnungszeiten der Spiele sind diese Lounges
privat. Dies passte perfekt zu den imposanten goldenen Vorhängen. Die Decke war wunderschön mit goldenen und blauen Ornamenten auf weißem Hintergrund.
Bevor Sie das Kasino betreten, sollten Sie sich die
Zeit nehmen, die Fassade zu bewundern! Dies ist eine der
besten Aktivitäten in Monaco. Diese Führung mit Audioguide wird Sie vielleicht dazu anregen, Ihr Glück bei den Spielen am Nachmittag zu versuchen. Wir waren überwältigt von der Schönheit der verschiedenen Säle in diesem Monument,
das größtenteils von Charles Garnier erbaut wurde. Wir liebten es, diesen äußerst luxuriösen Ort zu entdecken. Dieser Leitfaden ist völlig unabhängig und basiert auf unseren Erfahrungen.

Security and data leakage are a risk if sensitive third-party or internal company information is entered into
a generative AI chatbot, becoming part of the chatbot’s data model which
might be shared with others who ask relevant questions.
Newer, generative AI chatbots can bring security risks, with the threat
of data leakage, sub-standard confidentiality and liability concerns, intellectual
property complexities, incomplete licensing of source data, and uncertain privacy and compliance
with international laws. For more complex purchases with a multistep sales
funnel, a chatbot can ask lead qualification questions and even connect the customer
directly with a trained sales agent. It can provide a new first line of support, supplement support during peak periods,
or offload tedious repetitive questions so human agents can focus on more complex issues.
We’ll start with the absolute essentials, guiding you through
setting up your development environment and crafting a foundational conversational agent.
Reinvent critical workflows and operations by adding AI to maximize experiences, real-time decision-making and business value.
Comparus used solutions from IBM watsonx™ AI and impressively demonstrated the potential
of conversational banking as a new interaction model.
Discover how agentic AI is reshaping customer service—boosting agent productivity,
enhancing customer experience, and driving strategic growth.
Whatever the case or project, here are five best practices and tips
for selecting a chatbot product.
