oh dear bit of a set back long story i aint got the scorpa.............it was not as good as described and looked a bit ragged to me never mind although now i have plumped for a 1998 monty cota 314 not as new as what i wanted but for my first bike and something to drop its a bargain at

Hi im new to this site and to this type of riding. ive just bought myself a 2004 Scorpa sy250 which im picking up on sat morning! ACE!! really cant wait ive always wanted to get into this sport and after a fairly decent injury in trail riding i thought i would try something ever so slightly closer to the ground as far as i know the bike is bog standard and have been told that its done 2 trials and a bit of practice work. fingers crossed its as good as it looks on the pics (like new) have i made the right choice of bike?? my brother has a beta rev3 which i had a quick go on but it looks old compaired to the sy. as far as ican tell they get a good following but not quite as common as gas gas or sherco, im told they are bomb proof but slightly heavier than other bikes, maybe i can pull bits off here and there to make it lighter . hint and tips woul be good if you have any! im relying on the 2 stroke to be simple to work on, cos i aint no mechanic!! buti am looking forward to tinkering. my brother and i are based in the hawes area of north yorkshire and will be looking for a club to ride in as soon as we can. any suggestions would be appriciated, im sure there must be quite a few around this area i will post some pics of the bike when i get it if anyone is interested in seing it. please dont pick it to bits and tell me its duff though i would be gutted might see some of you soon if your in the area and trialing around cheers mike
