June 4, 201313 yr Hi all, I am a complete newbie to Moto Trials, I have been a Mountain biker for most of my life, but now want to try something a little different. I have been watching videos/researching Trials, and it looks like sooo much fun. I am 38 years old, only weigh 67kg's, and am in good shape. I guess I'm reaching mid-life crisis age, hehe, so I need to get this out of my system before i'm too old! I do have some questions & reservations tho... Firstly : Would a GasGas 125 be too underpowered (for my weight), or should I just go for a 250 TXT Pro or the like? Secondly : I currently live in West London (hope to be moving out to Rickmansworth soonish), I just dont know where one is actually allowed to ride a Trials bike? Thirdly : because I don't plan on getting a trailer initially, and buying a road registered Trials bike, what else do I need (licence etc.) in order to drive it on the road to get it to where I can play with it? Help much appreciated! J.
July 18, 201313 yr well im 37 and 71kg mate and come from short track racing, many broken bones and aches and pains lol. i bought a montesa 315r lampkin for my first trials bike. a good sturdy bike with honda build quality. vrery lively and caught me out a few times but dusted it off and carried on. i got a late 2003 bike, in mint condition for 1100 quid, just had the forks and shock done, stripped and cleaned the airbox, filter and carb whilst off. a good cheap first bike which i imagine ill still get 900 back when i get better and upgrade. cheers, paul
