dan williams, Sounds like you need one of these

And will contain a multitude of inconsistencies of what "was actually written and what you interpreted"

Well We at Vertigo Motors have your solution!!!! It is our very own patented, proprietary "ENGINE FUN CONTROL SENSOR"!

Everything from to with a bit of all the way to the other end of the spectrum with going through and yes we can even provide And just to help sell this new technology we will throw in a couple in our advert to get your attention.

Yea but what a ride if you continued to hold the tow bar as the trailer tipped up!

Twice I can remember going up a 3 foot (ish) step from dead stop very little run up, and for some reason my clutch hand released from the bars and was waving to the crowd...................yep ended up with a 5.

I usually watch videos with no sound. I attempted to watch this one when it was first posted and after about a minute I thought "oh another trail ride video" and stopped watching it. Now I come back and see the posts about the "music" being bad and just have the sound of the bike. So I watched it again and I was surprised that Fuel by Metallica was used! I always thought that was a great song for trials. So this time with the music I watched it all the way through and enjoyed it more because of the music. People make these videos because it is what they like or think is entertaining. If you don't like it, don't watch it or turn the sound off. Cascao, You might like another petrol themed song for your next one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMzWeV4Xf9A

I usually do that as I lay on the ground after a crash "Hey dumb ass, MORE throttle next time" "Quit being a pansy" "Why does my bike hate me?"

I always try to thank every observer on my last loop, If I forget it could upset the trials gods (and the observers too, don't want to make them angry then we would have to score ourselves and that would be like work.....eeewwww) It is true just a simple "Thank you for observing today" will go a long way to keep observers coming back. It let's them know you appreciate them standing around and watching YOU have FUN all day with no reward to the observers.

Yes but how does he look in a hula skirt? Damn, that guy can ride

Merry Christmas Y'all Had some fun in 2014 tapping out nonsense on my keyboard to try and get a laugh. Had some fun reading and watching the banter. Just wait for somebody to post "Happy Holidays" and somebody from the USA to read it and be offended because it's "MERRY CHRISTMAS" and that they are tired of this "War on Christmas" In conclusion, I wish everyone good times with family, good food, excellent drink (which may be needed to for the good times with family), good cheer and a Happy whatever you celebrate. Looking forward to a great 2015 trials season

Michigan Mud will do the same.

OK so the stop + dab = 1 came about because some whiny little twit couldn't ride as good as the number 1 rider and felt he should have a medal for showing up? My problem with the "all day dab" is the rider is no longer in control, he is now a kickstand and your bike can do that without your input (after the kickstand is down or bike leaned on tree) Stop without support (engine running or dead) = balance and control = 0 Stop WITH support (engine running or dead) = NO balance and NO control = 5 (IDGAF about electric bikes because I have yet to see ANY ride local events, adjust rules if necessary when they FINALLY show up after I am long dead) Keep reverse motion = 5 (this will satisfy those that want only 1 attempt at an obstacle) All rules observation comes down to the observer, there will always be slight discrepancy and differing opinions, and benefit of the doubt goes to the rider. In this case "I was balanced but as my foot came down I gassed it and moved 6 inches and then put foot back on peg so I only get a one, because I was moving when I footed" IDGAF about these situations because they will be few and far between. Most important would be consistent observing. If we changed to this system of rules it would once again force riders to learn to ride the damn bike. OK rant over

whiskey throttle isle? I'll get me coat..............

On a Sherco Biffsgasgas and I used a home powder coat system on the header pipe. Powder coat only came off when the pipe contacted something substantial. We also did the muffler and mid pipe, but my boots wore the powder coat off after a couple months riding Rest of the bike well......................that opens a thread arguing about reliability......

Lineman

Well I am totally screwed then...........got the weight, and no skill.............determination is dependent on how I feel about getting a 3 or a 5

Hey all y'all arguing over using the internet to crucify an individual or political discussions START A DIFFERENT THREAD JUST FOR THAT and stop hijacking this one. Let those that wish to share their background, do so without having to filter through the other crap.

Good luck, hope you are able to lose the weight, but don't just leave it laying around for me to find. I have enough of my own that I need to lose.......... OK let's say equal skill level. we will go with same person, two versions. version one: healthy skinny 170 lbs. very flexible, nimble and able to move around the bike easily. version two: healthy, muscular 220 lbs. very strong, able to "make" bike go where they want it to. I guess you just need to ride according to you body style??

I am the proud owner of a 2003 GasGas 300 pro. I bought it from the original owner a couple years back. Just need to do maintenance on it, oil, lube, etc.. nothing lasts forever. I had more problems with the 2000 Sherco 2.9 I had before the Gasser. The GasGas is older, it is getting tired, but DAMN she runs good and has improved my riding greatly. If I could afford to I would buy a brand new GasGas 300. The Gasser has NOT had a gearbox failure, it is on it's second kick start lever, and clutch cover (which broke not because of kickstarting). If things are loose they break/wear. I refute the statements that GasGas are unreliable. All bikes have their faults, and you will have more if you disregard maintenance.

HAHA.

Hey dadof2 OK you made your point that you don't like GasGas. And you don't like new technology
