Hello All,

I'm A forty something bloke from near Burnley in Lancashire. Although I've had bikes from the age of 16, trials has never been my thing ( I'm currently doing a bit of road racing) However, my 11 year old son has been pestering me for a bike lately, so I've bought him a TY80. He's had a couple of lessons at Bumpy so he's ready to progress once we find a suitable local venue. I think this may be my last season road racing so I may end up buying a trials bike myself soon so we can ride together. I'm sure to have loads of questions, so please be gentle with me...

Cheers

Brad

Welcome along.What do you race at the min?Theres a few racers on here and i race an old pre inj r6.

Dont worry everyone has lots of questions about trials so ask away and im sure someone will be able to answer you.

hi welcome i ride with my son and daughter great fun and the missus will never moan your going out on the bike again if the kids go with you

I'm riding a GSX550 in post classic production with the CRMC, but I've only had 2 outings on it this year. It's got me thinking why have it sat there in the garage?

If I bought a trials bike I could do some actual riding, and being able to ride with my son would be even better.

Hi there are a few clubs in the north west that you can ride with but the best one for you will be Bolton mcc they have a beginers trials and they are on sat afternoon think next is in September. Turn up with a acu card and you can ride. Have a look on www.boltonmotorcycleclub.com.
