The B Line......

Sounds like an inner-city mass transit line huh? Get on the bus....

Nope, it's the living hell that I stepped myself up to in the vintage trials world after the 2006 season.

In '06 I was lucky enough to win eleven events, and never finish off of the podium. I won the ITSA national championship on the C line, finished second in the AHRMA national championship (If I'd ridden one more AHRMA event, we'd have won that title too) and won the Mid-West regional title.

Well, times have changed! In '07 I was lucky to finish as high as sixth, and as low as last in my class, fourteenth or so. And I'm not talking about coming in last by maybe a couple of points, I mean LAST by a wide margin!

In 2007 I mostly concentrated on the ITSA series, it's undoubtedly the premier vintage trials series in the nation right now, and destined to only get better. I was damned happy to finish third overall after a tentative start to the season.....and the only reason I finished third was because I rode a couple more events than some other cats.....

Roll on to '08!

Thanks to Julie S. for the pic of me picking up my damn bike.....
