rockrabbit Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hello everyone, Richard here. Temporarily misplaced Oregonian living in Alaska. Just getting into trials bikes and running into winter real fast! Just picked up a GG 280 (2005) a couple months ago and still working on learning how to ride it. Used to do a lot of enduro type/ single track riding in NE Oregon (20 years ago). Can tell already that this bike is going to be a BLAST!

rockrabbit Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hi Richard. Welcome to the team. There are some great tips and a training sheet available from the Australian Trials web site thanks for the welcome the Australian group looks like a lot of fun. The site for anyone else reading is http://www.trials.com.au/content/ I have Schreiber's book and a couple of different training DVDs to watch along with some world championships from the late 90s, early 2000's that a friend gave me copies of to watch. Those are helping and it's all coming back pretty quick. The biggest problem now is that winter has arrived in AK and a short test ride proved to me that riding in the snow is going to take the addition of some sheet metal screws for traction!

nzralphy Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Screws could do it but I think you can buy the tyre inserts. Have a look in the web. How the h*ll will you stop the bike coolant from freezing. Does it need anything special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look in the web.How the h*ll will you stop the bike coolant from freezing. Does it need anything special? I'll check out the site and see what's available. Part of my problem is that I am not very patient... I can get the sheet metal screws locally, Tomorrow... the tyre inserts I'd have to order and getting things to AK is SLOW. The coolant is anti-freeze and I have upped the ratio a bit and the bike is now good to -40! I however will NOT be out riding when it's anywhere near that cold...
