In the day, on that bike, I could have done pretty well at an amateur level. But today's riders... wow. Had to modify the rules, used to be points for coming to a complete stop in a section, now that's almost a requirement in most sections. (for non trials riders, points are given in each section for various infractions, out of bounds, touching ground with feed [dabbing], etc, up to a max of 5 per section. A perfect score is zero) Watched a guy at an event scale a near vertical rock wall at least 6' high. Guy was in his 70's! Saw a pristine Mick Andrews Replica Ossa not far from me at a reasonable price. Tempted... Jon |

Guy paid a grand for it, had about 200 miles on the odometer. Kicked myself a few times over that. Had at one time a couple 250s, 350, RT 450 Desmo, spare 450 engine, parts to build at least one more 250, and all the Ducati inventory from the shop. Sold it all well before eBay came along. Would be a fortune today. There's an RT450 on eBay down here, $10k! Still have a 350 engine, pondering either another Maicati, or build a street tracker. Lots of smooth dirt roads around here. Jon |

The Trials skills were at low speed, like a throttle-controlled full-lock turn, balancing in place, driving over a stump, crossing a shallow river and climbing the bank. The river bottom was slippery rounded boulders and its bank was steep sand with a turf overhang at the top. I could do them, barely, though I never learned to kiss a boulder. I have a Suzuki 185 with trials tires which will do everything including cruise up the Interstate but in my hands doesn't do any of them really well. At least it's light enough to muscle out of a mud pit. -jsw |

Honda's New Fuel Injected 2-Stroke

My last serious dirt bike was an 81 Maico 490. Should have kept it but didn't want to see that best sitting still. Guy I sold it to raced it for a couple years then sold it. If the company had been able to keep up with the changes they would likely still be a dominant track bike. Oh yes, my ultimate dream bike. No, I can't ride it near it's potential, but could always go faster on a Maico than anything else. Handling was magic. The story of what happened to Maico is quite sad really. Inter-family rivalry/sabotage... Jon |
