Break in

Time to break in OL Blue's new motor. Run it through a few heat cycles and let it cool off to get the rings set. We started by going out behind Barry's house and ride a new hump of dirt we had found. After the rains we had the past few days this proved to be a bad choice. So we set out to find something a little more manageable and this is where we ran into a Marshal from the T.W.R.A.. I seen him at the end of a trail we were on and instead of running we rode right up to him. He motioned me over to him and informed us that there was a dog Field trials going on and we wouldn't be able to ride back there while this was going on. He was cool about us fucking up there trial and we talked to him for a minute and went back to Barry's house for a team meeting.
After the meeting or drinking we decided to setup a section right behind Barry's house to get in some much needed practice.
Ol Blue preformed to Barry's satisfaction now he has to get used to the new power.

Still plenty of mud and water to ride through even on level ground , but we had a new rider with us. Snappy works with Barry and said he would like to try riding a trials bike. So we put him on my spare bike and let him put it through its paces. Snap rode well and showed some pretty good skills. I don't know if we hooked him or not , but I think he had a good time. We are always looking for new riders to grow the sport.


It sure felt good to get out and ride after sitting on my ass the last few months. Got a lot of rust to get rid of so hopefully the weather will help us out before we head to North Carolina in March.

What the hell is Snappy staring at? Doesn't he know you are supposed to stare at your front fender?

Plus I can barely see Captain in the one pic because it looks like aluminum miller lite bottles are in bloom.

Old Snappy looks like a natural.
