The amount of "issues" I experienced with my hands was significantly less than I had after a couple of hours on the trails bike. I gotta guess it's because I can sit down and not have to maintain a constant grip. So, yeah. :shrug: Maybe a seat for my Montessa? I need to look at the grips too. I have sweet Odi Rouges on the Husky. Super nice.
IIRC, isn't your grip on a trials bike is 'sposed to be light? :shrug:

Ordered some a set of Ourys :thumbup:

Ken :shrug: I usually trail ride that thing so a light grip isn't always possible.

Since grips have been brought up I'm not going to jack this thread but start a new one.

Here we are again. Now we have 4 grandkids and one due this month for 5. Yikes.
My thumb is all healed. Good thing.
I have done zero trials riding in the last few months. I did attempt, but I need to clean the carb and that’s as far as I got. I haven’t been on the Husky since forever. It is running good now. I got a new seat for the GS, hopefully I will get some saddle time. I’ve been on the GS the most in the last year.

I did help out a lot with DVTR events. Non riding stuff. My oldest grandson likes camping, we have two trips planned this fall. Sitting here watching soccer practice. Games most Saturdays.

I think I forgot how to ride. 😀

Should I sell my Husky? I keep thinking I’ll have time, but I haven’t been on it for a solid 18 months. IDK. Is the market good? Maybe since Penndot is laying down the hammer it’s a good time to sell?

Market appears to be going soft. Looks like a lot of good deals to be had recently. If the economy goes further south prices will go down farther.
