Florida Trials

[hinch]

Howdy! I'm Mike from Tampa. I was a member of the Florida Trials Association in the 70's, in the time of Curly Goforth and Brock Sattelmeier, and rode with my friend Thom Tysl (Suzuki RL250). We rode usually at Gran Canyon in Brooksville ( which became a Disc Golf course later, and is now someone's investment property), on my (later) repainted, tricked-out but still hugely heavy home-welded slanted-shock Marland Whaley-replica Honda TL 250, joined the Air Force, rode some in the Omaha, Nebraska area on a (then new, and fondly remembered) Bultaco Sherpa T 350, got posted to England, and lost access to trials riding from there on out.

But I still have a fondness for trials, and to this day can't see a pile of rocks or a wooded hill and not look for lines.

So. Hi!

Well, the FTA is still active, some good riders from FL!

I think I seen a few rocks lats time there, but may have been at Busch Gardens! Get you a bike and get on it! The new ones are just too cool!
