DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Got a new toy yesterday, hope this photo works. It's a 1976 ty 175 trials bike, it's rough but runs great & priced right. Will be an ongoing project for the two of us. Now I need to save up & find another one so we can both compete.

With Photobucket - it appears my tag is broken. BUT! you can click on the right in PhotoBucket where it says "Image Links" and selct "Direct Link"

then paste that between [ img ] tags

go back to your post, click "edit" and you'll see what I did.

Thanks guys, you can see I'm a little challenged on this.

with so many DAMN guys getting into trials, I might have to start a dedicated trials forum!

Neat bike. Ive only been to a few trials events but the guys on the vintage bikes seemed to do pretty well. At least at the level of competition I was watching.

Yup. sweet bike. The Yamaha's are tanks and will outlast the ice age.....This place will become your best friend

Next event is in York, PA, probably an hour or so from you. May 4 is a vintage event (modern bikes too) and May 5 is a modern event. Definitely come out to spectate and hang out, even if you decide not to compete.

I would definitely sign Jacob up for York but we are signed up for an Enduro class at Seven Mountians that day. There aren't enough weekends

These are SWEET bikes. In the 70's a cute little gal Gail's size (~ 100 lbs) had one and she and Gail used to ride enduros (with Gail on her 1974 Yamaha MX100 that I had tamed down with an enduro flywheel, gear box and pipe). These 2 gals were both VERY fit and skilled and they embarrassed a LOT of BIG STRONG HE-MEN on bigger bikes by motoring around them while they were stuck trying to get up nasty rocky muddy North Ala. and North Ga. hill climbs

By the way we did go to New Windsor & Candytown to spectate.... that's pretty much how we got the bug. Looks like the next close one will be July7 at Taylorsville
