I have been riding dirt bikes for holy %%$#@ 26 years

.Best bike I've had was a brand new honda XR200R in 86 .My current ride do to money , van and family is a 1976 175 Yamaha Trials bike .Soon I'm going to get my girls going on a friends Keystone minibike. Got more trails,gravel pits and logging roads than I can count. Currently waiting for me to get motor back in van [4 weeks] seeing as how thats how I haul my bike and kids around . About 4 or 5 other guys I going riding with. :lol:

Would like to hand down trials to wife so I can buy a larger , newer Yamaha 4 stroke . But just bought a used canoe . Way to many things on the go .

What are you riding and where?

I 've ridden/raced MX off and on since I was approx. 7 or 8, so that makes approx. 17 years of experience (you do the math on my age

) Right now I'm in the \"off\" stage due to the fact that some a$$h@le stole my KX 250 awhile back. I love doing it, but it's another expensive/time consuming hobby that keeps me from my VW's. I'm hoping to get back into it when my 56 is completed.

I ride a .02 Sherco 2.9. I ride with the Alberta Trials Riders Association. We have competitions all over Alberta, about once a month.

dam you trials guys are insane man!! crazy crazy crazy. looks like fun though. I currently have a 01' YZ250. I figure the 2 strokes are soon to be outlawed here in the states and i might as well get one. We are down to 1 legal riding area (public land) that is in mt. vernon now. It really sucks that the greenies cannot share all the land that the states have to offer. greedy fuggers! I was hopin some guys across the border had some places to ride that arent too far away...would love to go riding with someone!

There are tonnes of places up here to ride, a few that come to mind are Harrison Lake (west side), Chilliwack lake etc... thousands of trails/logging roads.
