SlowDave Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Hi All, I am new here and new to trials. I recently purchased a beater 1974 ty250 that I am starting to go through. I have 3 other bikes, Husky FE 350s, BSA B50 MX and a BMW r75/5. I have a bad habit of slowing down and falling over. I figured working on my balance is a good idea, a good excuse to buy another bike anyway. 25 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition like MS and I was told I had a wheelchair in my future. I have been working hard to prove the docs wrong ever since. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonH Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago SlowDave, keep showing the doctors they’re wrong. I had an accident (electrocuted) when I was a kid that kept me hospitalized for an entire year. The doctors said I wouldn’t be able to run or ride my bike anymore and that I’d be in a wheelchair in my 50s. Well, I did run again and even skied competitively in college. I’m 65 now and still going strong. Doctors don’t know everything. Also, I had a 1974 TY250 myself that I rode in high school after I was released from the hospital. I’m looking for one now myself. I loved that bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowDave Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Thank you. You get it, don’t just settle for what the docs say. Never forget the power of exercise and fresh air in regard to health. Challenging ourselves with new activities is powerful medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
