e9999 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi all from Sunny California! Enjoyed browsing the site. Turns out I rode Trials for a while in Europe, many many years ago (OK, OK in the 70s... ) Well, the bug has bitten again, in part driven by the great newer bikes and by fond memories of fun in the woods. So, I'm presently looking for a bike and if successful, may just get to enjoy the sport again. Hope to participate and perhaps contribute a bit later on to the site! best regards Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyt Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 E9999 Welcome to the board Eric. Lots of great people here, good topics and interesting dialog. Let us know what you bought and if we can assist in anyway. I am the sites official nutcase (first held by Steve Fracy& Lane). Ignore everything I say as I tend to ramble a bit, been known to bite the heads off young members from the English speaking part of the world who's mother tounge is some ancient dialect. Waiting to be sent out to pasture by Andy. Cheers To all you other winkle pickers here is a guy who took the time to compose a sentence with grace and style. Learn from him or face the rath of the mad Scotsman Grrrr BillyT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e9999 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 well, used to ride a 72 or 73 (IIRC) OSSA 250 MAR. These were the days... I'd go to Spain for vacaction with the bike and hook up with a club there. We'd go to the mountains, and find a little restaurant at the very top, and enjoy a catalan bbq (yum!) before heading back down... I'm in Central/So Cal, near Santa Barbara! thanks for the welcome!
