Thanks again Neo. Always good to get feedback. When one writes such stuff, you always have to wonder if people will actually read it!!! Cheers from a chilly South Oz, Greg

I would like to compliment Greg on a wonderful tale. I read No. 3 at Xmas and used it with my friends to explain what it is like for a trials tragic who is missing a ride in the off season. You can really miss the adrenelin in competition or at section setting days. This one was also quite pertinent as I had a social ride on Sunday and found myself quoting the sentiment in Tale no.4. "I just should have gone home early instead of keeping on going!" Please keep writing Greg and i will be able to live my live vicariously.

Thanks to you too Damager. Your synonym could be applied to a few of us I'm sure. Wouldn't like to count how many clutch/brake levers I've broken...maybe I should buy in bulk? I shall keep writing the tales as they come to me. It does please me that people can relate to what is written. When completing an article and re-reading it again, I always think.....I wonder if people think you're mad or at least on some sort of mind-altering drug. But no, in my case it's simply a matter of suffering a type of psychosis labeled "trials rider" or in medical circles dementia montesa.
Greg Sorry I referred you ias Neo in my previous post. Secondly, I too have a Montesa and so the the title Dementia Montesa is very, very close to reality. It is hard to stay balanced with such a condition. Cheers
