    Ya, listen to Jack?? His only trial experience was when he was charged with violating the Mann Act when he transported Maggie across a state-line for immoral purposes.

    You know we can't believe that of Jack. He is to upstanding and would NEVER do anything wrong against Maggie. Especially anything immoral.:lol3

    Go talk to Shannon at The Motorcycle Shop. He has a Gas Gas on the way and mentioned something about trials riding at Kincaid this summer.

    Hey Piston Pants, I still need a ton of practice before going out in public.:huh

    All these new trials bikes. Sounds like Legion may need to sponsor the next annual "hillside trials".

    Look at those smart handsome young men scouting out the course. :oscar It was my first time riding one. Fun! Someday I'd like to have one. :ricky Are they cheap? Do they come with a video (or DVD) offering tips on more advance riding technique? :lol3


    "Dang, the seat sure seems low and the pegs sure seem high!" :huh :lol2

    I have a '99 Scorpa that I've been riding in my yard for a few years, over ever increasingly large obstacles that have been concocted from stuff (trash).

    Does anyone know of an at least sort-of legal riding area that would be challenging for semi-incompetent middle aged wanna be's?

    Sutton? King River? Bueller? Bueller?

    Anyone out there?

    I always wanted to take a trials bike up the 4 wheeler/sled trial at the end of Shrock road that goes over the top of Baldy mountain. And Eureka woud bea hoot-I rode the Old Man creek trail on the Pegaso but that was really not the best bike for it. Sutton/Jonesville could be fun too, the old strip mines are challenging, well, challenging on a Pegaso. :evil

    No merit badges but we all decided you were the cock of the walk... or push... or whatever that was you were doing. Here's your belated award. :1drink
