Atom, now you have seen the most current Graphic scheme.
Oh and I do the lawn mowing, gets me out of house away from kids. Riding lawn mower is loads of fun doing the banks of the ditch. Neighbors think I am nuts leaning half off the mower on the up hill side to keep from rolling over.
I am hoping the US has a world round next year. I am pretty sure it does.
If travel time is the concern

Nevertheless it is a bit of a slog from the South of England.
Just how long of a trip is it for you?
US is HUGE in physical size and we only get 1 venue for the World Rounds. For me to have driven to the Tennessee venue for last years World Round I would have spent approx. 12 hrs in the car of non-stop driving. I am WAY closer to Tennessee than those that live in California, so imagine their travel time. (I assume flying would be in order)
So the US should get 3 stops in the World Trials Competition to make it more convenient for us to attend.
Maybe that would help spark interest in trials here.
The Canadian is the dude in the background with the white hat and white shirt. You can see him between the 2 ladies on the left of the picture.
The rather light lady in the middle is the only one of the group that has straight A's in all her college courses. Spent her time studying instead of at the tanner.
Bringing 5 enthusiastic trials riders in my rig this weekend!
And remember, I'm the guy who needs a Snorkel, I will pack a mask and flotation devise, Biff was my witness!

The more riders the better!!! Hope they have fun.
So is the snorkel in reference to the swim taken with the Unicycle or did something happen at the Training session in Niles that has yet to be reported????
Now I will go with personal experience and opinion.
I have a 2000 Sherco 2.9 I really like it but I hear it is a totally different animal than the 2007-2009 models.
Sherco has Plastic fuel tank
Gas Gas 280 OK I really have no experience with one of these but the 300's are more popular.
Gasser has metal tank.
Beta Evo 290 has a harder clutch pull than the others, and The rider I know with one has complained the gas tank capacity is a bit low. (many fill ups) Also the fuel tank is a welded in part of the frame, makes motor and radiator maintenance a little more difficult. In the short test ride I had on his Beta it felt well balanced the power was very nice and predictable, had very good low end (just a little throttle and it would torque it's way up) At higher revs would jump to the moon.
ALL bikes require maintenance, the amount usually is directly proportional to how much you beat the hell out of it. All 3 of those models have linkage rear suspension so lubing that on a regular basis is a must.
