There was a motocross track within ten miles and on the other side of the road you had a mix of roads and hill climbs. Within an hours drive we had sand dunes, think Rat Patrol. I had a friend who had moto'd all his life and he was a great teacher. When I saw the picture I had to do a google search as I thought the colors did not look "right". When I found the 79 model it came back to me.

Trials is the sport for learning controlled rear wheel steering and obstacle jumping. It's fun and you can do it in your backyard.T.W.
