When I was contemplating returning to trials at the age of 40, having last competed as a schoolboy on a TY80, I took my wife to the Sheffield Indoor to try and explain what it was all about. I left determined to start again (which I did) and my wife left saying "You'll never be able to do that - you'll kill yourself!" (and she was right!) The point here is that those who may be persuaded to try trials but have never seen the reality of a novice route at a club trial would also look at top level competition and think that the sport as a whole is completely out of their reach. We need to present club participation as within reach of mortals. Something that 'Kick Start' did for me as a kid. I think the ACU 'Try Trials' area at the NEC show is a good example of the right type of promotion for trials.

I fitted one (slow to medium) to my gasser 250. Love it! Rattles a bit on the bar when your hand isn't on it tho!

It is just me or does the exhaust seem to run very close to what looks like a shock reservoir? Might affect damping if it heats up the shock oil. Otherwise looks amazing - so good to have such a revival in new (re-born!) trials marques.
