Hello to everone I'm no stranger to bikes, and my road bike is a 2003 TDM900 Yam, But lately I've had a hankering for a trials bike after a few shots on my mates Beta, so I've bitten the bullet and bought a 2003 Beta rev3, it's been used and has an odd war wound, but basically sound, so I'm in the process of getting the old girl fettled before I get serious and start practicing before I attempt my first Trial, and at 56 years old it will probably make my list of aches and pains grow by the week but I'm so looking forward to it so joining a club will be a must and a licence as well I believe, so I might see some of you soon oh and if your ever fortunate to have me observe you on a section.....your in luck!....my eyesight is *****

About time, what kept you so long. I started late too and realised I'd been missing out on some great days out. You're in a good area with some great clubs, events and tremendous terrain. Get entered in a trial soon as you can, with the aim of just finishing. You'll find no end of help and encouragement from others. Good luck.

Hi Jono from Fife, you've left things a bit late but there's plenty 50 year old newcomers about.

 

Check out Lothian Trials club as they run Trials aimed soley at Beginners and fun riders, just turn up on the day and ride that's it.

 

You'll even get a bit help from members if required.

 

I ride most of there trials so maybe see you around.

 

Cheers the noo.
