  1. cheers fella

    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 !

    thanks for the advice

    regards mark

  2. hi all

    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

  3. hi all

    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 .

    dougie

    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

    thanks again for your help

    regards mark

  4. hi matt

    thanks for all your help chaps !

  5. hi all

    newbie here , looking for places to learn to ride trials before entering any events in or around sheffield / derbyshire.

    anyone know of any clubs etc that might be worth a look ??

    i do ride motorcross but found the area has less places to ride than where i used to live so thought a change might be in order.

    thanks for any replies in advance

    regards mark

  6. hi all

    newbie here !!!

    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

    thanks for any replys in advance

    regards mark
