I don't know, but it is all downhill now!

PS - Trials rider may be a bit to gracious of a title right now. Trials faller-over-a-lot may be better....

The Mrs. needs somewhere to carry my six pack when we go on a bike ride.

Hi, loved that 2 stroke video!

And the old Husky.
And, of course, the Montesas.

I learned to ride on one of these

This is me and my two favourite bikes:

The Kawa KZ400

And the Yamaha XT600 (with kick starter, of course!) This one had a nice Supertrapp exhaust pipe, superb 4-stroke sound!

Now I have a (much too civilized) Honda CBF600 to commute to work

Ok since we are talking trials. My first non mini bike was given to me by my uncle and it was a 1968 Cotton Trails bike from England with everything on the wrong side and heavier then hell! Man I wish I still had that bike

2whlrcr How do you like the KTM 450 exc? That is on my wish list. It looked like it was brand new. I have been training a professional Snocross Racer named TJ Gulla in the summers and we ride together on some private MX tracks. He just told me that his mom is part owner on the local KTM dealer. Man did I drop some hints that day trying to work out a deal. Now I have to sell my wife on it. Let’s just hope hell freezes over by the time the snow leaves Vermont.

Greg, I'd like to put in a request for a permanent Motosport forum so that this madness can continue beyond the January challenge. I consider these folks my compadres and would like to stay in touch. I'll link to it from my website and I'm sure Tim will do the same on VT. Whaddaya say?

Here's a few from today's row:

In addition to some short, experimental meters, I put down an "easy" 2x5000m for the team this afternoon. Best time in the 5k was 21:23.0. Total meters were 12,182m.

These are interesting shots. I was thinking of a "post of picture of your rowing environment topic".

I can tell from this shot that you angle back further than I do and pull higher to your ribcage. I probably have a 10-20 degree less extention and pull closer to the middle of my abdomen.

I want to keep the Moto team alive and well and build from what we have.
Challenge or not with the number of people buying rowers for training I want them to hear from people who use it. It means a lot more when you guys tell them how good it is than if I do. Any ideas from anybody on how to best grow in the Moto world is welcome and needed. As you can imagine Vermont is not the "Hot Bed" of the Moto world. Keep up the good work. Don’t worry the 2008 first ever Moto team will always be the coolest! Now get off the computer and row!!
