Morning guys.

New to trials after a few years of Enduro riding.

Picked up a old Beta rev3 and gave it some tlc to get it "current".

Hope to pick up some pointers and get to know this balance thing.

Here a before and after pic.





See you guys in the forums

[TooFastTim]

See ya found us Deon. Welcome.

Don't worry about R2, he'll give you a hard time about the bike. Just ignore Kinnel, he's always getting lost anyway.

I really like the no-thrills stripped down look on the beta, always wondered what one would look like without all the pointless stickers on it.

Have you run accross those LeRiche boys down there? They can give you a few pointers!

[markdup]

welcome armpump. im from cape town..

[armpump]

Thanks guys.

Yip them boys tend to dominate things here from what i have seen.

Ordered a rev80 from Graham Harris(local agent) for my son.

Cant wait any longer to find him one,so will get new.




Ps What helmet do you think i should get him?

[copemech]

Armpump, not being down there, I do not know just how the trials scene goes, but I do understand that those LeRiche boys are on top of things. I think I heard that their dad was the Monty importer, if you are near them, you should get to know them. I am sure you may have others there that are helpful as well, but I can honestly say that I have never met friendlier and more helpful folks than Bruce and Brent. Take away the immediate pressures of the trial going on, either will usually fill you full of more than you ask, great lot for sure! And they do not care if you happen to have a nice Beta!

The 80 is excellent as well. Helmets?

Cheers,

They are both on 270 Rev 3's now!

Looks like our local "agent" is doing a great job at marketing.




Want to hook up a few training days when my sons bike arrives so he can learn the correct way to do things.
(Not listen to his old man who knows nothing )Hahaha.

Why ?

Jy moet a vir my se hoekom.

[copemech]

Yes, TFT, if I am wrong, please correct me!

[TooFastTim]

AP, the one who calls himself Copemech was planted on earth by aliens. His purpose is to sow discord amoung the human race and he should not be trusted.

Actually his postings crack me up...

Oh, just me then TFT! No prob, but I was worried for a bit that you were going to tell me something bad about the boys.

I told Bruce to stop that (cross dressing) stuff in public!

Just because he has leftover Montesa, Sherco and GasGas pants!

[TooFastTim]

Yeah, old Brucey boy is slutting around a bit. He still owes me a beer.

[armpump]

Rev 80 has arrived so now Father and Son can learn this thing together!

Seems i am going to have to import a "lid" for him as no one has them here.
