Trials n tribulation

Having being away for a week from riding and the country has got me thinking and reevaluating the state of motorsport in this country. Believe it or not we are not a young nation as far as motorsport is concerned.. We have been running this sport for close to 50 years already,starting with the first rally and grasstrack racing in  the fifiies. Ipoh was the center for motorsport being the location where most expatriates were stationed.The question is why are we still in the present state?.

Recreational riding is on the upsurge judging from the increase sales of motorcycles in all categories. My observation is we are still lacking in training for knowlegable motor sport officials and for motor sport enthusiast. Those who are interested just pick up the sport without any guidance and they will learn as they progress. It is not the best way to progress though.
Our neighbouring countries have taken the right steps in the right direction to make sure motor sport brings the best economic returns through hospitality and tourism activities and we will be left behind if any corrective measures are not put into place immediately.
We are known to start strongly but always a poor finisher.

Trials riding on a trail bike

I think age relates to speed. Im shying away from speeding be it when Im driving or cycling or riding my road motorcycle. As the years increase the speedometer reading decreases,or is it?

The joy of riding trail bike is becoming my major recreation for stress release and my main fitness conditioning. Feeling of excitement each time I go out for a ride is becoming stronger and Im always looking forward to nature and challenges thrown at me on each ride.
Riding trials gives me the most satisfaction now. To be able to conquer every obstacle laid out in front of me seems to be my main focus. I will feel triumphant if and when I beat all natural obstacles with my trail bike.....
It feels good.
