Hi everyone,

I want to say thanks for letting me join.  I got my first trials bike when I was a teenager.  It was a slightly used 1973 Honda TL125.  I rode that thing on the thousands of acres near my house.  It's long gone, but I am purchasing a Honda TL250 soon.

I ride Honda CRF300L at the moment and enjoy it, but it's time to slow down a little and try the trials thing again.  At 67 years old, I hope I can handle standing for so long on the pegs.  

I don't know how much advice I can give you guys/gals, but I hope you will indulge my many questions.

Thanks,

Wes

I am 74 yrs old and own a 1975 Suzuki RL250, and a 1975 Honda TL250. I still ride, but not trials, just trails with my grandkids. Standing for extended periods is a problem for me at times, but more of a problem is my balance and reflexes. Last May I fractured my left fibula while riding my son's 1978 Yamaha TY250. It was supposed to be a 6-week recovery time, but for me it ended up a 12-week recovery. I did get out a few times after that and look forward to getting out again this year. I live in Pennsylvania, 6 miles in from Lake Erie and the snow has me working on the bikes instead of riding them. I think you'll be fine coming off of a Honda CRF300L. Have fun.
