I used to check out katana Planet. and was surfing the net when I came across this site.

I ride a 1997 900 RF, I have been riding for a little over 30 years over a 100,000 miles on different bikes. plus 11 years as a competitive observed trials rider. I own a motorcycle paint shop and repair and fix broken plastic and dented tanks.

Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) is a documented problem in the world

(I didn't come up with it). Once you get more than one you just keep finding reasons to keep all of them.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum, trials now that takes skills, wish more newbies were aware of the sport instead of "stunting".

svhooligan · 10-18-2004, 08:52 AM

Wow!
Thats quite a stable you got there.
Like the Motard pic best.

Played around a little with trials on a mountain bike but never on a motar bike. I love watching it though! TONS of skill needed for that!!
