I hope GG comes through just for the love of the sport.

Gotta say, gorgeous bike. Could look at that Sherco all day. Just have fun and practice turning and all the basics. Basics rule, I have learned.

I'm guilty of this as well. I have tried to improve by trying to put the weight on the pegs and let the bike float underneath. It's tough to remember sometimes. I try to be light on the bars and put more on the pegs, and that's where the real steering is (from what some advanced riders have said). Most of the time I tense up and this all falls apart.

Wish I could, I live on a postage stamp.

Loved it

Really liked both vids. Fun to watch.

There was a video with a fellow balancing and hopping on his bike in the garage with the engine off. If I remember correctly it was quite a balancing act. My search skills are poor and I couldn't find it. If anyone knows the vid I am asking about and could link me to it I'd appreciate it. Thanks all.

Great price

Zippy I still laugh at that post when you wrote how the hairy legs drive the ladies wild. That was some funny stuff.

Hey Billy I'm way down in Douglas.

Well hell Line what to wear then? Fox MX pants? Fine with me.

I'd like to understand the advantage and need for trials specific trousers/pants. Not trying to be smart or a wise guy here...I am really asking to learn. The trials pants seem really snug and tight to the legs and hips. I understand we don't want extra fabric for no reason, so a minimalist approach is best perhaps? Are most of the pants water and sweat resistant? Any info at all on the pros and cons of a specific trials pant appreciated. Seems a decent pair range from 80-170 USD. Worth it?

Yes! DONT run the bike on straight gas. Put about an ounce and a half of 2 stroke oil per galllon.

Warrior- I checked out THOR prime is there any specific pant? They have several.

The Michelins are just a bit better. Spend the extra quid and get em.

Sweet skis too. Rossis?

Wish I could find something more sweat repellent. My britches must weigh 15 pounds after getting soaked on a hot day.

Thats a great idea, never thought of that. Cheers.

Line that is one hell of a pic man! Like that.

Welcome- Hope trials brings you as much happiness as it has brought me.

Hi Best- I hope all is as good as it can be after everything you've been through. I would hate to try to give medical advice on here so obviously please make sure to ask your Doc about how much exercise you and your ticker can handle. However, from a common sense standpoint, I would think that trials is one of the best things you could do. You are giving your body a stress, a good stress, from which all of the benefits of exercise are based upon. You give your body a stress, it adapts by supercompensating and readying itself for the next stress- Exercise 101. Trials is a very good blend of aerobic and anaerobic stimulus. Again, I'm not a Doc, just a fellow trials rider, but I do know a thing or two about exercise. Trials riding is vigorous, even at the low levels. You will very likely burn fat, increase the efficiency of how well you use oxygen, and put a very needed demand on your muscles (heart too) that has myriad benefits. Also, your nervous system is constantly challenged with the demand of balancing and making quick judgements while making your body adjust to them, (can I clear that log?, can I make that turn?). All great stuff healthwise. Never mind the fact that you are outside, sweating, moving and breathing fresh air. Please check with your Doc, but I hope you keep riding not just because you can- but because your health will likely improve as a result of it. Best of luck.

Thank you. Honestly wasnt sure if it was grease or maybe silicone spray lube. Kind of new to this and I'm learning.

What do you use to lubricate the swingarm bearings?

Gaernes are really comfy. Have had 2 pair.

Glenn that is seriously cool that you were asked- and delivered!
