It is near the Christmas break of the school year. The students have turned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do. All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early dismissal. Teacher: "Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly can leave early today." Little Johnny says to himself "Good, I want to get outta here. I'm smart and will answer the question." Teacher: "Who said 'Four Score and Seven Years Ago'?" Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, "Abraham Lincoln." Teacher: "That's right Susie, you can go home." Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first. Teacher: "Who said 'I Have a Dream'?" Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says, "Martin Luther King." Teacher: "That's right Mary, you can go." Johnny is even madder than before. Teacher: "Who said 'Ask not, what your country can do for you'?" Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says, "John F. Kennedy." Teacher: "That's right Nancy, you may also leave." Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer to any of the questions. When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, "I wish these b*****s would keep their mouths shut!" The teacher turns around: "NOW WHO SAID THAT?" Johnny: "TIGER WOODS. CAN I GO NOW?"

There already is non-stop trials it's called..................Enduro.

Well Dammit, that looked like it was alot of fun!!!!! I could not make it due to working 3rd shift friday night and then remodeling a relatives house saturday from 1:30 pm until 3:30 am sunday morning. makes for long weekend. I eagerly await the pics from Gary. Have always enjoyed the pictures that Gary has taken (just wish he could get one of me with my feet ON the pegs )

I do hope you enjoyed yourself at the MOTA events, (Bent Fenders is always the best one but I am a bit biased as that is the club I belong to) Hope to see ya out some more this next year. Oh and do be careful of Copemech...........ya know them Texans is crazy

So what you are saying is that the store is responsible for the wind blowing all those little old ladies that are light into the field? Besides who really wants one of those old bags laying around the house just taking up space and knitting booties for anything with feet?

but not impossible. Sheared my key once, had many of the same symptoms. Ran great put it away, tried to start it next practice out and just backfired and kicked back like a mule.

The rear fender might be 2002. It certainly is not 2000 like the rest of the bike.

Thanks for the info Clive, and Just riding that thing is manning up to the challenge.........................Although 4th would be faster But with 4th would you lose some of the low end torque for getting up an obstacle with little or no run at it? So maybe 4th in the longer straights? Curiosity and the cat ya know.

My 2000 had the thumbs up logo on the flywheel cover or was it the Clutch cover............that is until the sticker fell off. But there was no actual "Bultaco" written on the machine. I may not remember too well as the bike has had many graphical changes.

Lawyers have ruined it. And all the "read between the lines" crap. example. "The rules don't say you can ride between those two trees with outside boundary markers make a trail ride loop and come back into the section between those same trees without crossing your path" "OH" says rider who just did that "But the rules don't say I can't either" Problem is nobody likes a 5, so many will argue any arbitrary point they can to get out of a 5. yep failure sucks no matter the reason, that is why you have multiple attempts at the same sections, so you can improve. Ride better and you will place better. the Two fer may not be an entirely bad idea. But how do you keep the difficulty low enough for the newbies that want to try out the sport and challenge the middle riders?

I MUST get to Home Depot more often!!!!

Hey No Jive, Good showing, sure looks like fun and tiring... Never having raced MotoX or Enduro or such......Did you choose a gear and just stay with it, or did you shift gears depending on the section of track?

Will you cover air fare for me to pop over from this side of the pond??? I may have trouble drinking the 15 pints as I never was much of a drinker. But all the food requirements and Body Mass Index I got those beat easy.

Are you Huffing again????? I thought you quit that. (just slinging some poo your way)

Good to hear he is released from the hospital and on a good path to recovery. Hope this does not steer him away from riding trials. The youngsters are those who will keep the sport going. Very important: If he is anything like 99% of trials riders, somebody will need to make sure he lets himself fully heal up before riding again. I know that is easier said than done because the first day ya feel good all you can think of is getting back on that bike.

A dentist noticed that his next patient, a little old lady, was nervous, so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his gloves. 'Do you know how they make these gloves?' he asked.. 'No, I don't,' she replied. 'Well,' he spoofed, 'there's a building in Canada with a big tank of latex, and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their hands, let them dry, then peel off the gloves and throw them into boxes of the right size.' She didn't crack a smile. 'Oh, well. I tried,' he thought. But five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the procedure, she burst out laughing. 'What's so funny?' he asked. 'I was just envisioning how condoms are made!'

Which is the main reason trials helmets don't have the chin protector bar thingy.

Not quite entirely true..........Magnesium GG swingarm "pieces"

I just rewatched it and there are a couple of youngens in there taking a good size fall. Tough kids.

Many Crashes thanks Sergio Bou is in this one as well, even got a spot from the same practice session that started this topic. I am not 100% positive but I think Cabestany smashes his face on a concrete waterfall in that video. Looks like a lot of riders could have had a bad day.........or really close to having a hospital stay.

Just keep Ralph Nader away from my trials bike. Right now it is a mid engine model, if he gets involved it would end up with the engine over the front tire and front wheel drive........and anti-lock brakes, and a seat belt (but no seat.....well that's the safety police for ya)

If the bike has clamps for fat bars than fat bars are great. But if the bike has 7/8" clamps, I personally don't think the benefits of fat bars are great enough to justify the out lay of $$$$$ for new clamps. Some bikes have removable clamps that are easy to change, but my 2000 sherco would require an entire new top triple clamp. Just seems a bit too expensive for the benefits (??? whatever they are)

Any more updates on the lad? Has he come out of ICU at the predicted time?

Wow remarkable how close the regular trials/ open free gate trials debate is to the stop/no stop debate. I think this quote applies to both arguments.
