mavisravis Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mavisravis Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 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.
