Well me and a mate went on to silsden to pick up my first good trials bike, Beta Techno 99 model, 250cc, not had long on it but i LOVE it, feels so nice and smooth, the pics from my phone so not the best, see what you think

Good choice...sure you'll have many happy hours on that

My first trials bike was a 98 Techno,, loved it, even kept it as a spare bike when i upgraded to a new bike... can take loads of hammer and you won't be able to out perform it..

Tell me about it, i had my Techno nicked alongside my brand new Rev 3 and brand new road bike, all nicked in 1 heist... the scum bags.. never seen or heard of them since, they went through 3 locks on the garage door and 3 chains.. not cheep ones either.. since then, i take both wheels off and take them in to the house, the bike is chained up to a ground anchor with 3 chains, the bike is then covered with so many things, you wouldn,t know there was a bike in there , then the garage is alarmed up to the house with infared sensors and door contacts and to top it off i have a SHOT GUN ALARM for good measure. i know if someone wanted it this would not stop them, but it would slow them down a little..i also carry a police mans telescopic truncheon when i am on my travels, just in case i ever come accross one of my bikes while i am on my travels, i would know my techno as soon as i saw it. i carry the engine numbers with me at all time..

Crikey!

you can get alarms with diallers that when your alarm goes off it calls you , or one of a few numbers you have programmed in, and it does the same where you can listen in, or you can shout at them as well, to get the **** out , thats my next upgrade on the security, then after that may be a moat and machine gun towers...

Ferret, is that from experience mate?

One of my mates decided to buy a bren gun (doesnt work........yet)

Simple bit of lathe work and a nice hollow barrel. Then out comes the firing mechanism and in with the compressed gas and a hopper full of paintballs. SIMPLE!
