fred1956 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) Hi to all, I've always known about trials but never really rode the sport. I've owned a motorcycle of some kind since I was 13 (53 now) and raced in motocross and harescrambles formats but I finally got to ride a GasGas trials bike last October at NEOTT's event here in Oklahoma, Oktobertest, (a big thanks to Jason Shackleford of NEOTT, Jon Stoodley of JSE, and Dale Malasek of GasGas USA for the opportunity). It was a blast and I really worked up a good sweat playing on the bike, I also got to follow Pat Smage through all the sections, it was amazing the things he did on a bike. Now I've got the "trials bug". Anyway, I'm restoring a 1974 TL125 for my girlfriend and found this site while looking for parts (see Honda specific section for that post) and I am in negotiations on a 2006 Gas Gas 300 to go with my Gas Gas EC250 that I ride woods on. Looking forward to learning all I can and riding also. So far my experience has been wonderful as the trials world, as I've found to be true in the motocross world and all other off-road motorcycle world, is full of happy and helpful people. Just a great big dirty family, (in a clean way). If you're in Oklahoma or know of something in my area,NE Oklahoma, give me a shout. Thanks and keep the wheels down and your feet up Fred Edited January 13, 2010 by Fred1956 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
