USA Trials Reviews & Previews

There will be an ahrma Trials at Unadilla's MX Rewind June 10th. There will also be a non ahrma points class for Post 79 Air-cooled trials bikes with drum brakes and twin shocks just like last year. So bring your Can Am's, TLR's, Fantic's SWM's and others, compete just like everyone else, and get a trophy for your efforts. Also need help with checking. So if you can bring a friend, they can get in free on Friday, as long as I have their first and last names a week or two prior to the event. Contact me here or email me at: gabrennan@sbcglobal.net

Is there any chance that a vintage line could be added in the MOTA rounds for the 2010 season? Looks like we have at least 5 twinshock/vintage bikes that I regularly see at events and this seems like enough for a class. I think that you just use the novice line and put nov or vin on the plate and score them against each other.

I'm starting this thread for information regarding the vintage trials to be held in conjunction with Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio July 24-26. The trials are scheduled for Sunday, July 26. As information and details become available I will be posting them here. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please post them here or email me direct at dean.siegman@gmail.com. Please put VMD Trials in your subject line if you're emailing me. We're working to make this a fun, challenging, and competitive trials and hope to see many of you at this great venue. Dean Siegman

As I understand it we are getting to ride on the other side of the property for this one! Who will be the last place expert????? Will Mike come out of hunting season to beat me???? Will Biff come in costume??? (you bet your a$$) Will it snow? Can Brockaway figure out a way to not use those roley poley rocks??? Can zippy go a whole loop with out texting his wife? Can we get Cap and Keener to move up? Will I break another shift lever? Will Mitchell bend his knees? Will my exhaust catch on fire? (probably) So many questions. Only time will tell... Come on out to Vermontville and check out all of the suspense and action!!!!! Season closer!!!! Very easy loop for those who …

May 16th this summer will be our first Bent Fenders trials of 2010. We have a lot to live upto to tie the Michiana event but we are really excited about trying an actuall vintage class. We will have a vintage A and vintage b class with a first place trophy for each. Vintage A will ride INT and vintage b will ride Nov. We also have a beginer class in Mota so this wont be a cake walk but we are determined to keep every metal tank orginal and every rider out of an ambulance. What is vintage you ask. We are calling that anything before built before 1990. Thats a huge range of bikes mono shock included. As always this is a party so try to stick around afterwards for some good…

Nationals are coming up this weekend in Duluth Aug 22-23. Any tips from the local club putting the event on?? How is the river water level? Low / high? I suppose we should take time to seal up our flywheel covers good. Where are the good places in the area to eat and have a drink to clear the throat after riding? Any other tips or info would be great to here. 5 of us are leaving from Michigan on Wed after work.

A few of us decided to make a last minute blast down to the Nov 2 TI event in Dayton over the weekend. It was a mixed crew for sure. FanticMatze even flew from Germany just to go riding with us! Even got to watch Pat Smage- that worth the price of admission by itself! FanticMatze 2nd Sprtsman Joe K Jr Champ Class 1st Joe K SR Open (non comp) Biff Champ class 2nd Kjax SR A 2nd Mike M (1st time rider) 1st Novice Rob Roosen Expert 4th Great event put on by TI! Perfect weather for November - 70 and sunny! http://www.trialsinc.org/

Stoney Lonesome trials this coming weekend in Columbus,In 17th & 18th Since I'll be observing I've lined up a couple of "never even been to a trials event" first timers to ride my bikes,may convince a third also. Hoping to get 'em hooked! Trials Inc. Stoney Lonesome

Did I miss something? I haven't seen a place in Trials Central for posting US events and results. Just wondering if there is enough interest to create a separate calender or topic for US based clubs and organizations to post events and results?

MOTA (Michigan-Ontario Trials Association) next event is being put on by the Bent Fenders club May 3rd. Bent Fender trials info. The club property is a bit on the small side, but this makes it VERY spectator Friendly. We also try our best to utilize what land we have to make a loop that reduces lines.

Is there a flyer on Octobertest. Im limited on time and need to know start times for am and pm also rookie cadet format also are any pros coming.

Great Lakes members, Thanks for a great event. The sections were challenging but fun and I had great time riding them. You guy's really put the effort in and it shows. I can't really single out a favorite section, but the water sections and the long rocky uphill double were like the old school sections of long ago and it's nice to see them used again. The staircase was also fun to ride. (Once I found all the markers. Thanks Lester!!) I had a blast going over big exit rock in Rusty's section. All in all really nice sections and a fun event. Congratulations to Steve Widman for a most excellent ride in SR with only 10 points! Nice ride Steve. - Don

Just a quick invite to anyone in the area to come out to our first two-day trials event on November 15th and 16th. Should be a great event, with something for everyone!

Hey- I actually will have the Sherco done by next week! During that long dry spell I also picked up some new adjoining property. Lot's of very cool stuff to ride- rocks, logs, off cambers, water crossings. Most has never been ridden- but there are some existing sections. New sections invlove some clearing but lots of stuff that is ready to ride. The rock hill has only been ridden off camber/sidehill- no one with enough **** to try riding up it...yet. Joey where are you? If the water drops in my pond we'll have more sections, but lots of rain this summer has kept some of the sections under water all year. Thinking about Saturday Sept 5. MOTA guys chime and let me know if…

Join us in Peru, KS for our first event on this fantastic site! Great morning and afternoon sections and a nice loop, too. Check out the Ark Valley Trials Association website for event information and GPS coordinates for Peru. Bring lots of water and bug spray, too! Ark Valley Trials Association Website Greg

Just thought I'd post a video of a potentially new area for our club here in SE Kansas. Hopefully we'll be hosting an event here in '10. The video barely represents the amount of obstacles this 200+ acre land contains. A truly amazing place, big thanks to Ron and Leah for being such gracious hosts and letting us ride. (sorry for the shakiness, a bit of arm pump)
