I've heard good things about this setup: http://tubeliss.com/ A lot of enduro guys around here use Dunlop 803 trials rear tires on their KTM 530s and love them.

It doesn't surprise me that Dale is the one that would clean it. The info for Appalachia Bay Penninsula is on the NEOTT website. The trials master for this event is trying something different. Those that favor a very short loop and like to watch the other classes ride should love it. Basically, he's only using 3 areas of the peninsula and the areas are close together. Each area will have 3 sections and all classes will ride the same sections. Split cards will be used to separate different lines for the classes. All classes will be riding in the morning. He's trying this format to allow the riders more opportunities to watch others. Should be fun.

Jon, you should've come out to play at the Bay on Sat. We had a good group. Ron was demoing some big stuff for a couple newbies I brought out. Neil, did you go to the Tish event? If so, how was it? I would've liked to have attended but needed to stay close to home. I love Tish. Its definitely one of my favorite venues. But, it wouldn't be my first choice of where to begin competing as an intermediate. Greg, I remember the turn very well. It was responsible for my best and worst memories of Saturday's trial. It was TOUGH dry! I can't imagine cleaning it in the mud. Were any of the Wednesday crew able to clean it when it was wet? BTW NEOTT is having an event at App Bay this Sunday. After yesterday and today's rain, the sand should be packed nicely.

Thanks for sharing the pics! In roadracing, they always taught us to turn the head and look through the turn. From that pic, I may be looking too far through the turn for trials. Another great Central Regional Series event. Thanks AVTA for putting on the KS round. I'm amazed at how good the trials riding is in OK, KS, MO and TX.

Hey Greg, Looking forward to the KS round of the CRTC series. I've been very impressed with the MO, TX and OK events. From what I've heard the KS venue is also a good one. BTW were you at Scipio? later, Charles

I may be a little bias. But, I thought it was a fantastic event and venue. Jon, thanks for all your hard work! See you in KS. Charles

Being fit and having a 6-9% bodyfat always helps. But, I learned a long time ago never to judge a motorcycle competitor by their shape, weight, height or width.

Looks great! Did you get it powdercoated? If not, please provide details.

A few of us from NEOTT are coming up from Tulsa to participate. I'm really looking forward to it. The weather forecast looks perfect right now.

If you can't find a cobbler to fix it right, you might try "Shoe Goo". I've had great luck using this to patch/repair boots.

The Ute Cup was a LOT of fun. Can't wait until next year.
