I'm in.
I am hoping to master the basic skills that Boom Boom has been patiently been teaching us for the last six months!

Sunday I'll bring the sidecar for my Montessa in case anyone is interested. Sir Boom Boom tells me that the Sunday training can be more advanced than raw beginners may want to do. If so, let the fun begin on a trials sidecar!

You can be the water boy with that sidecar rig.

The first 1/2 of today was a success. My Montesa is setup right and I can do very, very basic stuff like falling down. 
okay, okay. the sessions on basic turns, slipping the clutch, and braking went real well. I felt comfortable. I had turns down pretty good thanks to Boom Boom. The clutch work made a lot of sense. After that, I was quickly out of my league. The simple little section he setup for turns and clutch work was just too tight and I never mentally caught up to the bike and terrain.
BUT! I really did learn a lot and have something to practice.

Ken,
You are selling yourself way short, you did great on that cool old Montessa! I wish you made it back out today...........I was looking forward to a ride on that sidecar!
Thanks go out to Boom Boom for all the help he has given our crew over the last six months, without his help, this weekend would not have been as much fun!
