Simple question - will a 45 year old beginner find trials to compete in on a mono shock?

CERTAINLY

Just enter a beginners trial, if they do

2 courses start on the basic course,

then work your way up.

Welcome to a fantastic form of motorsport.

You wont meet better people.

I started about a year ago at 45 on a TY Yam and have managed to stay out of hospital (so far). Rode a trial last weekend & went round with a 66 year old who had just returned to the sport after a 30 year lay off ...

We're youngters ! enter a trial and enjoy, it realy is a great sport.

Hey car man --you will certainly be able to find a course to ride to suit your ability ( I started when I was 30 ).Most trials have 2 or 3 courses to ride:-

Easy ( beginners)

Middle ( clubman )

Hard ( expert)

For me that is the beauty about the sport of trials- its as hard or as easy as you want it to be.

Have fun

Shelled out my hard earned this morning and the bike is now at home!
