A sh*t shot!

Not near you but check out Trials Day at Leek in Staffordshire. I went and I promise you, the experience will be remembered long after the distance is forgotten!

I'm sure you're right chief! It was the muscles in my shoulder and neck area that protested with having weight on my arms for longer than I'm used to. Doing a few weights and stuff and already feeling the benefit. Hopeflly closer to a purchase now, I've narrowed my bike choices a bit ,so we'll see how we go. Thanks for your reply.

Is it a Yamaha engine?

What a little sweetheart! Do me Sir!

Peak Classics over the border in Derbyshire had chairs in their last meeting in Matlock. I don't know if there is an age criteria for the outfits though.

Truly splendid photos. Enjoyed looking at them. Thanks!

Thanks for the support, what you say makes sense. I'm doing some weights and am feeling the benefit. I have to take my time, I have an immature tendency to want every thing yesterday.

Thouroughly enjoyed the training day at Leek. Stu , the owner of the venue could not be bettered as a patient, trials teacher. Everything about the day was valuable. My shortcomings were tolerated and worked on but it made my lack of fitness was going to be a problem. This great experience did raise as many questions as it answered. The process continues. Still no yay or nay. Not given up yet!?

I hope you're right bud, I have to admit I have only got to be on a bike of any sort and I am itching to stand on the pegs and take to the scenery. I suppose it's the childhood roots of getting 3 or 4 quids worth of Francis Barnet in the school holidays and ragging the **** out of it in the woods and fields and 5/- for a day at the local scramble - trials track. Ah ! Nostalgia!

Going on training day next Wednesday, then it's yay or nay. Hope the old bones are up for it ! Then I hope the wallet is !

Want to have another go at trialing, nothing too adventurous, after fifty years absence. Going to organise a one to one session at Blackshaw Moors before I buy anything. Trying to amass as much info as poss before the leap! I have attended some local meets in Derbyshire and Staffordshire and met some grand, helpful folks. Andrew.
