Not All the Squirrels Are In the Trees....

So what are these squirrels doing...marking the acorn trees? In the background you can see the Trialsrooster preparing a small tree for some potential saplin' wrasslin' during the upcoming ITSA year end trials events.

The Captain is tying up that tree so it won't get away and Pee Wee is on garbage detail from a previous acorn hunt. The crew is really (No Really!) setting one of the forty sections to be used at the December 2nd and 3rd ITSA Trials.

The December ITSA Trials event is a 2-day affair with the season ender taking place on Saturday prior to the awards banquet that evening. On Sunday we will ride the first event of the 2007 ITSA season.

So the question is, are Pap and Menonite Mike just wore out or are they deep in contemplation about the deviousness and the treachery of the sections that they just helped the Guru and the rest of the crew design and lay out. You'll just have to come and ride with us and see!

The event flyer is here . If you're planning on attending the banquet please use the flyer and RSVP.....

ITSA Goes South

We made our trip to the Vintage Festival at Barber Motorsports Park last month. The ITSA Crew laid out the trials for AHRMA. As usual the Crew laid out a killer trials, we sent some of the entrants back to the truck after the first loop whining because it was too tight. The truth of the matter is, the turns weren't too tight, they had pine needles and rocks under the pine needles. Which, subesequently added to the ground-pounding activity of dabbing. Obviously some folks can't deal with this. Learn to turn.

The Guru won the Modern Classic Expert class, the Guru's James with Slim Jim Sturtevant aboard won the Classic Expert class. Mike Parsley was tops in Premier Lightweight Expert, and the Trialsrooster was victorious once again on the Chicken in Premier Lightweight Intermediate. In Modern Classic Novice Pee Wee came out on top.

But, what beats all is that the Nubster had his best national finish yet, taking the third spot on the podium in Modern Classic Novice. Go Nubbie!

One of the best things to come out of the week-end was that at the auction in the Barber Museum on Saturday night Mike Parsley was the winning bidder for a Matchless trialer that he had been stressing/lusting about ever since he saw it on the list for the bikes to be auctioned. As you might be able to tell by the S.E.G. (shite-eating-grin) on Mikey's face he was fairly pleased with his new acquisition. The pictures of him jumping up and down didn't come out due to motion blur.......
