The last time I was on a trials bike was a good 15 years ago and a good few stone lighter. Have never doen the sport properly.

Is there anywhere in and around the Aberdeen area that is good for second hand bikes? Reading the info on here I was thinking a 200 but maybe a 250 softened as a starting point. Is there any set advice on weight v CC or does it come down to gearing and such like as well? 15 stone to save someone asking the question. :wall:

I stumbled upon the Bon Accord MCC website and there seems to be a lot of area's for the events, does anyone know of a readily available practice area in or around Aberdeen out with the event's?

I will likely pop along to the next event and try ad grab some advice there as well.

250 should be fine,

Get yourself along to monymusk this Sunday, follow the arrows (yellow with bamcc on them) from the Aberdeen to a alford road.

Scot ads is always worth a look for 2nd hand trials bikes aswell

there is different areas where guys like to practise, with the permission of the land owners!

Any questions just give me a shout
