Afternoon all. I'm just getting into this trials thing as I fancy doing a bit of mud plugging in the winter down here in Somerset. I live in the Quantock Hills so not too far from some lovely routes, although I know the area of outstanding beauty lot have had most the trails closed. I do know some local farmers who I'm sure will let me shred their fields and woods though.
Anyway I happened across this OSSA MAR in the VMCC magazine a few weeks back just down the road, so I duly popped over and bought it off the chap. Nice little bike; hand painted in Hammerite with the tank and panels in Dulux non drip gloss. Suffice to say the bike is now a crate of bits with the frame off to be powder coated while I tart up what's left. Engine sounds sweet with all the gears.
I've never done a trial before but will be looking at joining the folks in the Somerton or Taunton clubs in their twinshock class. Having said that I popped along to watch a trial with the Exmoor club and they only had about 3 twinshocks entered and they were all Fantics. Nothing Spanish to be seen anywhere. Have I bought the wrong bike? Makes no difference does it, as long as your getting dirty and having a laff.
