ITSA Great Time, Every Time

We made another pilgrimage to Dickson Saturday, for the 3rd event in the 2006 ITSA trials series and I’m happy to report that me and the boy both managed to make it through the WHOLE thing to the end. No breakdowns, no injuries (except the inevitable lacerations in pride), or bad weather to mar the experience and I got to say, riding an entire event will leave you just about as worn out as spending the day pushing a motorcycle. You guys that always make it to the end of the ride should have said something to prepare us half-loopers for the ordeal. But hey, it was nice to go home without box full of parts for a change and I always get a thrill when I can drive past the emergency room in one piece.

A word to those of you that ride trials and were within driving distance of Dickson this weekend. You’re missing out on a real opportunity to enjoy our sport if you bypass these ITSA events. The crew at the ranch make real effort to make it worth your while to come, whether you ride vintage, modern or something in between. You really should try to make the next one; I can guarantee you won’t regret it.
