December 9, 200520 yr First posts on forums are always difficult, but here goes..... Fat and over forty, I've been competing in enduros and rallies for quite a number of years, but have decided to take up trials riding. With this in mind, I've recently purchased an '03 Gas Gas 250 TXT PRO. Quite a revelation, and so easy to ride (on my drive ), I wish I had done it years ago. I'll be looking to enter a few local events in the new year, so any tips and pointers would be more than welcome. I went and had a look at a couple of sections at an event in Dover a couple of weeks ago, and decided that it was do-able (though the ground conditions were good).
December 9, 200520 yr Just have fun and spend time on the bike, you'll love it. Throw out almost everything you know about riding a motorcycle and buy the DVD from Ryan Young for training.

December 9, 200520 yr Author Hello Rabie. Thanks for the nudge on the other site, I finally made it on here. I heard that there was a trial at Sittingbourne on Sunday, so was going to go and have a look. Went to have a look at one at Coombe Valley the other week. All looks about as I thought, though the ground conditions made it easier than it could have been. So much easier than having to drive to Wales.
