Hi everyone
My name is Matt, and I've got 25yrs of road bikes under my belt, but always wanted to have a go at trials. (used to compete at landrover trials).
I bought a 2009 beta evo 250 this week with the help of a friend who is very into trials. First ride this afternoon, just up and down some parking spaces with a few steps. I love it! But wow is it different to a road bike.
I'm a mechanic and a welder, so happy doing stuff on my own bike. (good job as it needs fork seals urgently)
Based in Newport, my trial riding friend is over in Clevedon, so I would love to find some local people who are into trials. I'll be going over there so he can show me the ropes, but I want to be doing some proper practice, so ideally find somewhere more local, where I can meet some new friends!
As a mechanic, always happy to help anyone local to me who wants to learn the spanners side of things, or use tools.
Matt
