Hello everyone, thank god i've found what looks to be a good forum! No better place to learn in the beginning :thumbup:

I'm a former bike trials rider, when i rode for about 5 or 6 years from 2000. Ended up riding for Monty/Cleanbikes, Plazmatic and Heatsinkbikes.com, so i may well know some of you guys??? I'm on www.Trials-forum.co.uk as Bongo too.

I ended up getting into bmx, which took over my life, and i rode bmx until a series of knee injuries put an end to that, and during my recovery from some operations, i bought a road bike, which soon put me onto the track, and for the last couple of years i've raced a Honda CBR600rr in the Hottrax National 600 endurance, and several different clubs. My bike is up for sale now as i'm getting a new bike for next year to race in the Thundersport Formula 600 series, which leaves me with about 5 months of no riding.

For 10 years i've thought it'd be nice to have a mototrials bike, so i'm taking the plunge, initially 'just for winter', although i'm sure it'll become 'whenever i'm not racing'!

If anyone has anything to help me along, i'm after a Gas Gas, Beta or Montesa for £1000-£1300. There are a few on ebay, but not knowing much, i'd much prefer a recommendation, private sale or classified ad where i can take my time to look and not bid on a gamble.

Looking forward to getting back to Back Cowm to begin with. used to live there most weekends on the push bike!!

Feel free to add me on Facebook, and if you got any advice, fire away! I know little!!

Nice style in your picture!

Welcome and enjoy, I'm sure there is plenty of good advice on here for you, sometimes people are a little shy to respond though so don't be offended if you don't hear much.

Good luck and who knows, this might take over from road racing if your previous history is anything to go by!!!

:)
