Greetings all, I am new to this trials stuff, and have located a 2010 Gas Gas 280 pro to use as a first trials machine. It looks to be in good condition and is from a local trials club. In my research, I have found mixed opinions as to the use of this as a first bike. I have been on dirt bikes/off roading, and many street miles since 1972 so I hope there will be some cross over to trials. I am looking for some know how here to advise if this is a good starter or if there might be something else I should consider. Thanks.
