Just a quick post to say hi. I'm a 39 year old who has just given up road riding after 23 years. I've spent the last six months without a bike & couldn't take it any longer, so went and bought a 2003 beta rev 3. After 8 days of ownership and four brief sessions I'm hooked. Fallen off a couple of times and jumped up laughing, brushed myself off and carried on. That wouldn't have happened on the road bike!

I'll head off over to the Beta forum & browse about the others but looking forward to sharing my experiences and learning from the experience of everyone else.

Welcome to the world of trials, find your local club that caters for beginners and enter a trial as soon as you can so you will know what to practice and you will see an improvement each time you ride.
