grizz

Thanks Chewy, pic was taken mainly to text to my wife....... I have Dan Thorpe's training DVD , and Jon and Pete who I will probably end up riding with are good teachers. This was at my place on Jon's Beta last week, 10 minutes later, after a few corrections from him, my stance and balance was already improved. Much to learn and practice I would think. And this is Jon, clearly more capable than me....... and a whole lot skinnier Still, I will be learning and taking all pointers and advice. I want to enjoy this so doing things right will help.

Well, here I am...... Which means I have joined the dark side. Last night at 10.30pm my wife emailed a seller to say that I could buy a clean 2003 Scorpa SY250. I spent about 15 minutes on the same bike a few weeks ago, outside the sellers garage and everything has gone from there. I have been riding bikes since age 14, and am now 48. Currently run a BMW R1200GS for my wife and I. I always wanted to ride a trials bike and used to play about with off road type bikes in the past. My intention is to enjoy myself..... maximum expectation is to be a novice dabber in a clubmans event or two every year. I live in Rochester, Kent in the UK, so if there are places close by to go riding and freestyling, please let me know. I will probably do more learning and reading on here, than contributing much, as I know zippo, nothing. This was me wobbling about on it last time I saw it. Any advice always accepted.
