New To The Scene

[atrai]

Hi

Apart from a couple of days motocross and the odd potter on enduro bikes I am a rider who's seldom been off road. However, I have recently been left a Fantic 240 Professional by my late step father and am looking to take up some trial riding. I guess my start point is that the bike needs some work doing to it (it was running in Feb when I took it out but has since been delivered from Spain in the back of a van and doesn't look as good now). Now, in an ideal world I would have a garage and some mechanical competence, but alas, I am lacking in both.

With one bike already the Fantic has not gone down overly well and taking it apart in the garden is a no no. Because of this and the bike having some sentimental value I'm looking at having it restored to its former glory. I have seen a couple of sites on the web that do restorations but am seeking out some reccomendations as well, who has a good reputation, specialises in Fantics perhaps and has a passion for what they do. I know these things can be very subjective but all opinions are welcome as I start to find out whats what in the world of trials.

Thanks for any assistance in advance and I look forward to stage two which will be to start riding!
