Watercooled 2-stroke? That's a very odd looking scoot.

After seeing more trials riding videos lately, I can see where the
kids on the stunt bikes get their inspiration. Trials is amazing.

Attempting to learn it was a very humbling experience for me. So was
ice racing. I could bumble around the courses but was nowhere near

Used go up to Donner Ski Ranch near the summit of I-80, to watch trials
events. Amazing what they can do on those gianormous granite boulders!

My dad had a Montesa 348 Cota. Amazing bike. 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...

That might be the only reason I'd attempt learning it. I don't throw
myself down an ice slope without brakes, either. I water skied.

had a toggle switch throttle. Thank CROM it was reverse rotation.

Nice! Dad sold one each of this model in 250 and 350 at our shop in the
early 70's. The 250 went to an older fellow in the next town. Some years
after the shop closed, I'd ride by his place now and then, and would see
it in his garage looking showroom new. Thought several times about
trying to make him an offer and buy it. Well one day a fellow rides up
to the hobby shop my brother worked at, on this pristine 250 Scrambler.
Yup, the very one. 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.

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.

I dont have (at the moment) much interest in dirt bikes..and I am
getting a bit older..not sure how well Id heal if I went and played
hard on one. Still got the BMW, the Indian/Royal Enfield and am
planning on going after that Triumph Tiger 650 with sidecar that I
traded for. Sailboats are currently my nut...chuckle...Ill swap off
and play with bikes again probably next summer.

I wasn't a star on dirt, either. My first and only motorcycle was the
Kaw, and I got that at the ripe old age of 15-1/2, when I got my
learner's permit in CA. In that 6 months, before I got my driver's
license, every paved road, every dirt road, every back alley, and
every deer trail in and around Vista, CA was ridden by me. Loved it.

Actually, I picked up a CZ 250 in a trade for a scrapper car once, but
never restored it and took it out on the dirt. It was again traded to
the alarm installer the 2nd time illegals broke into my house.

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.

If I had more experience riding bike, I'd consider getting myself
one. Were I not the sole source of transportation in the family (the
missus doesn't drive).
But not a Harley. They may look nice but "Son, when I was a kid,

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.
