If you haven't already done so, find a local trials club. I've just gone thru a 2-day "fundamentals" school put on by one of the local experts. It was awesome! I made huge progress compared to how long it would take me to figure it out just by reading books and watching training tapes.

That's the plan. I've already talked to a local rider that is nationally ranked. He was at a national event in Tennessee this past week. There next practice day is this weekend which is the same days as our annual Golden Eagle Enduro. The weather may postpone the enduro but that is yet to be determined. The area has received upwards of 22 inches in the last 60 days.
The bike needs brake pads and fork seals and some TLC. It looks liike it came off of a trailer and was dragged a ways before they got stopped. Mechanically, the bike appears sound. Engine runs strong and starts easily. Cosmetically, it looks bad but that doesn't really bother me. I'd rather drop a dinged up bike than a shiney new one that I paid much more for. I look forward to getting to ride.
