New To Trials Pick Up My Bike Monday! :) (n.devon Area)

[corty]

Hi all just joined the site as i have just bought a trials bike and i am looking to gain some tips and advice on riding

i have transisioned from road bikes - to enduro - Now to trials due to a knee injury from riding the enduro bike

my bike is as follows

its a late reg -2004 early 05 BetaRev3

but has the 06 graphics - ive been told

the stator and CDI have been renewed (which is a good thing on the 04)

and it has a Flywheel weight to tame it down a touch

it does look to be very well loked after and i have been assured of the full history of the bike from the previous owner - only used for yellow trials at the most .

anyways im based in Barnstaple so will look into doing stuff locally

any info or riding buddys would be appreciated!

Bye for now

Pete (Corty)

Hello Pete,

Welcome to the world of trials!

Its always good to see new people coming into the sport.

There is a great choice of trials to ride in this area, the Lyn motor club run several trials a year & have classes for all abilities.

Most of the Lyn trials are based around the Lynton area where i live, they also run one at Ilfracombe.

The Torridge Motor Club also run quite a few trials at Hartland and surrounding areas.

Here are some contact details for these two clubs:
