it is illegal to practice on most of the sites they hold the trials at,ill pm you a location to ride near barnsley,then you can get some practice in.you should enter one of the evening trials on a wednesday night. hope to see you at a trial soon.
The bike from work sounds a bargain,go check it over,look for loose wheel bearings,check the breaks are fine(should be able to lock the disk with one finger),listen to the engine for any nasty nocks. Also have ago on it and go through all the gears if you can,theres many things to check for but i just think these are the basics.usually you would pay around 1000 pounds for a decent bike,so it sounds a good bargain mate.i think if you can ride a bike with gears,it would take a while to get used to the power of the things but once your used to it i think you would be sound,deffiently stick around the 250 range or higher,i think any lower and it would lack power for somone of your build,me being the same size build as you i ride a 290 and its fine.
Thinkin of entering a trial this weekend,but me and my brother share a gas gas ,would it be possible to still enter,and have are numbers stuck on to us and not the bike.The sections are in walkin distance so that wouldent be a problem.
since looking at it again,i like it abit more then when i saw it in the paper.i dont like how high it looks and i dont think it looks very Agile.would like to see a test ride.
i saw this on the local news tonight,people will still get on if they want to . just a shame a big place is shutting down,more motorcrossers on football fields in bradford for definate.
