The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

Thank you as well. Now if we can just get rid of that Honda. I taught him to ride trials. You can get hurt but not as easily killed!

Trials or trails?

Trials or trails?

Observed trials. Not wheel to wheel racing. Just you, the bike, and gravity. Like flying, twisting the throttle is optional but landing is mandatory.

Can't even think about flying yet, snow still on the ground in spots and field under 3 feet of water.

Cool. I figured that's what you meant. I competed in trials for 10 years. I had a Beta Techno, a Montessa Cota and a Sherco Bultaco. I got out because they changed the rules and you couldn't hop backwards anymore. This is me down in Fairbault MN. It is 10 times better than motocross. You ride 6 hours straight 3 to 4 loops of 10 plus sections. Unlike motocross where you sit around all day waiting for your race.

I am not flying today because I have not signed up for the FAA or the AMA yet. Waiting to see how the bills in the congress and senate progress. Might go by a new Ossa or Beta and get back into trials if new laws turn against us.

I haven't been on a bike in years. Hip replacement in 2009 and knee replacement coming up in two weeks. I'm happy to fly model airplanes now.

I don't know how you can do it. I'd be clawing to get back onto a bike, even if it's a silly 3 wheeled one.

All that and if you fall in the first turn, you don't get used for traction!
