Eyup folks. 

I'm an ald fuddy duddy who had decided to give Trials a go. I used to compete in Land Rover trials before my move to a wild and wet Scotland. I miss getting mucky so have decided to have a go at motorcycle trials as a hobby

Not looking to become top of the class, just to meet a like minded bunch of folks and have a laugh. 

I'm not new to bikes though. Been riding for 46 years. Just fancy a change. 

I am an engineer by trade and have a custom bike building workshop for building choppers etc. 

Why an I here? To learn from other peoples experience and to ask for help. Oh yes to buy a bike as well. Cant Trial without one :-)

I'm located in North Ayrshire Scotland

Hi Haggis, from the East coast. You're certainly in the right country and choose a great area if non stop rain's your thing.

 

Erm thanks. Had to check the map there. I was well confused. Last time I checked Ayrshire was on the west coast.  Yup is still is. they aint moved it yet??

Plenty of like minder people in your part of the world. Pop in and speak to James Morton in Mauchline, long established trials dealer / rider. 

Will have a look today if I get time. Actually I'll make time. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the input folks. Followed some of the leads today. No luck. 

Then as if by magic I find myself the new owner of a 2015 Beta 300 Evo that has not done a lot of work and was cheaper than some 2004 ones advertised. Happy bunny....Well for now anyway.  Until someone comes along and tell me I done the wrong thing.
