i dont know the background on the bike but if i was to have a look at it i may beable to see some signs of if its been cared for or not ......
my main worry was buying something that everyone tells you not to buy. in this case the rev 3 lol
have read on here that the coolant can rot the casings is that usual ?? and if so can they be repaired ? or are they magnesium, if they are alloy i can weld them !
well a year has passed and i now seem to have a little more time to think about getting into trials ... i did attempt it a year ago but had to put it on the back burner while my little boy got going .
ok i have managed to get in contact with a few guys who are into trials and are members of the barnsely club which i intend to join all been well.
but the question is i have been offered a beta rev 3 2000 , new plastics , chain and sprockets and has supposed to have been looked after for
no worries mate. sounds like someone dont want anyone on there ????
i am trying to flog the MX so until thats gone i wont have the funds for a trials bike anyhow then comes the problem of storage, probably keep one at my workplace in a spare unit as dont have anywhere here
thanks for all the good info fellas, also appreciate the offers for a trial on a trials bikes lol!!!
i would deffo be up for meeting at a local practice spot if anyone fancied it as i am keen to learn about the sport with a view to buying my own bike very shortly .

think something very sedate would suit me for a beginner lol
our lass knows where the practice spot near hoyland is i will have a drive past and see if i can see anyone there sometime failing that i will wait and see if some of the locals are gunna arrange a meet !!!
heres a question for you all . what size bike would you recommend for a starter. i would have guessed 250 and the most i can afford but then i am only going on my experience with MX and realise trials is a different can of worms
no aint got the crosser up here, its still over in east yorks.
i aint been to a trials event yet but used to ride at armthorpe MX park which is a proper job and we have a track over in E yorks on some set aside land that we also use.

i have emailed the boys that meet in oughtibridge and will pop down on a wednesday night next time i am free.
i know where chap is but not hoyland lol as only been up here for about 3 months.
i am in Ecclesfield right now , although i dont have a trials bike at the moment i would still be interested in meeting people who could give advise on the sport. then would sell the RM to fund a trials.
i currently ride motorcross but since moving up to sheffield i have found areas that look good for trails and little area for MX so thinking of selling the crosser and buying a trials.
i wondered if anyone could put me in the picture on how to learn to ride trials (i.e private clubs etc)
i dont really want to turn up at an event without learning to ride first.
anyone got any ideas on this and any places to try in or around sheffield and derbyshire
