Took The Plunge
finally got my bike 06 scorpa sy 250 at last, it was a toss up between 4rt and sy ,ive had a 05 4rt , 01 scorpa ,04 200 beta ,beta was great to ride and mantain but i just dont like the look of them , to help me decide i bought 06 ssdt trial ,after watching it a few times i think scorpa ,4rt looked the most sorted in sections ,i know different abilitys come in to it ,overall i thought both bikes held there line best ,so started looking, not many 4rt about

$rt Burning Holes In Pants
i burnt a hole in my jeans ,but the bike whas on top of me ,ive never moved so quick ,got the scar to prove it , it seems to me that trials jeans are way to flimsy ,5mm of foam on the knee is not going to do anything ,nothing on the hips ,for us thirtysomethings you need some protection ,i know you have to be able to move freely ,but it wouldnt make that much difference not at clubman level,besides at

First Ride On 4rt
right, now ive sorted throttle ill tell you about first ride ,first thing i noticed was i felt quite high up on the pegs,clutch wasnt to bad ,power really smooth and plenty of it,i did have trouble locating rear brake it felt like i had to have my heal on the foot peg,bike did run away from me a bit going up a stream ,but it made me smile ,another suprising thing was the so called weight of the 4rt ,ive got a pick up so when it came to loading her up i was worried i wouldnt be able to get the bike up there ,well i tell you what it was easier to run it up the ramp than my beta 200 ,felt a lot lighter . i know its going to take some getting used to ,but i wouldnt change it for any other bike well maybe a new 06 one .

4rt Throttle Cable

Montesa
this is a question to all 4rt owners ,do you think the mont feels heavier when you get in a bit of trouble in a section than other bikes youve rode, see thing is i really want 4rt but at every trial ive been to ive hardly seen any monts let alone 4rt ,it seems round here gas gas is the most popular but then people say they fall to bits after a year same with the sherco ,so why do you think the monts arent so popular seeing as there meant to be bullet proof,surely if its a weight thing montesa could shave a bit of weight off,i dont know just seems a shame you hardly see any or maybe its just down here in devon , at the moment im riding beta 200 which im trying to like i meen theres a lot going for it ,its definately improved my riding but it just hasnt got that wow factor . i will be getting a new bike i just dont know what one yet ,any words of advice would be usefull.
