Seems a TRS is more similar to a Duc than I imagined.

The clutch rattles. [evil] ;D

Loud Clutches save lives

I bought a sacked out Suzuki trials bike back in the mid 80's after i watched "On Any Sunday"

I quickly realized how horrible my sense of balance was. but i had fun. Hope you do as well

I have about 11ty billion new skills to learn. Balance, real throttle control, clutch control, weight transfer, steering with my feet...and the rest I probably don't even know about.

Did you know on a trials bike when the bike leans into the turn you put your weight on the outside, not the inside? It's completely counter intuitive to a track rider.

I'll never ride like any of the pro's, never mind Toni Bou. It'll be humbling, but it's going to be fun. [thumbsup]

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Paid to play again today. We only rode for an hour, but we walked, trimmed trails, and threw brush for 6.

Only crashed once. [laugh]

S
Duck-Stew is correct. For the past 20 years I've been traveling to MI for a track event.
