The Ohio Valley BSA Owners Club located in Toronto, Ohio has just released their event dates for 2006. Their spring 2 day Can AM Vintage Trials and swapmeet will be on June 3 & 4. This is one of the best vintage trials events in the country. Their summer Rally will be August 23 - 27. These events are top notch and very well attended, the events are held at Cable's Campgrounds Toronto, Ohio, not far from Steubinville.
I can't say enough good things about the BSA group and their events, give them a try and you will keep coming back, this year marks the 25th year of their summer rally. Thanks to Paul Atkinson and Clark Francy for starting that group and working tirelessly to keep it going.

Hi Paul
Have you got an email address for the club? I'd like to correspond with the members to get some info/help for my Bantam Trials bike project.

David,
Bud Kubena is the prez.
[email protected] He should be able to help you out.
There is a Canadian by the name of Jock who is a Bantam nut, he rode his Bantam down from Canada to Ohio for the event one time and that is quite a few miles. The club has a Lucus road run at their Rally each summer, I was on my 441 Shooting Star and I rode next to Jock, he did quite well till we hit a long twisty climb on some back road in the Ohio countryside, everyone had to go by Jock as he slipped the Bantam into low gear and moved to the berm to make the grade, several miles later we pulled into a small town and parked in the town square, a couple of minutes later here comes Jock with the Bantam tapped out down the road and into the parking area with the biggest grin on his face and to the delight of all of us. He also rides a Bantam in the trials, maybe Bud can hook you up with Jock, he is a great guy.
If you arn't a member of the Ohio Valley Club the dues is only $ 10.00 per year and they have a nice newsletter.
