Influences

The Showcase section of Cycle Canada was always the first page I turned to when the new issue arrived. In this case, the March 1983 issue. 
At the time I owned (among others) a nasty old SherpaT, one with attitude, that frequently let me know it knew much more about trials riding than I ever would. I saw this Showcase and I knew I needed a Metralla. It took me fourteen years but I finally did get one, complete with Kit America. I blame Dave Butler.
