oggfueler Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 It's been a while since I've rode anything on two wheels but a couple of friends have stirred up the feelings again. Though the plan is to go trail riding, I've been looking to try out trials. Hopefully with some avid weekend riding and a new diet/workout, I can regain some of my old form... it's hard to stay in shape behind a desk, lol. I'll be posting questions here and there and would appreciate any input you seasoned riders could offer an old dog looking to learn some new tricks.

I called up Clay earlier this weeek and we talked for a while about a new ride... he was very helpful and gave some good insight seeing as he is riding the same terrain I look to be riding. It's all about scraping up funds now... dang economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khub Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I had found on the internet site called "trialsmaui.com" that rented trials bikes and had packages for multiple days. I then booked a trip to Maui and will be there on October 27th until November 6th this year. Unfortuantely, the trialsmaui.com site no longer works and I have not been able to get any reply, which tells me they are no longer in buisness. I'm still going to be there and would love to finda way to do some trials riding there, but can't fit my bike in the suitcase I also have just gotten back into off road riding at the age of 53, am in my second year of competing and loving it.

Hey bro... give Clayton a call... the number posted still works... even though he lives on Kauai he knows a couple of guys on Maui that may be able to accommodate you. Best of luck to you... enjoy your stay be safe and have a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi there! I used to know a few trials riders from Hawaii back in the day. Wondering if the names John Domke or Steve Hamber ring a bell to you... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if the names John Domke or Steve Hamber ring a bell to you...Steve Can't say that I do Steve. I'm a newbie to the trials world but I hope to have a nice lengthy stay. Who knows... maybe one day I'll run into one of the two fellows mentioned... and by "run into" I mean meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
