scramblebike Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi. My back ground is that I have raced motocross since 1974 and still race classic motocross up here in Scotland. Have always had a passing intrest in trials but never had the time to try it. Been going to the SSDT for the last 15 years and really enjoy both modern and vintage events. A couple of years ago I bought a 325 Bultaco and did a couple of classic / twinshock events and hated every minute of them so sold the bike. Recently a local club (East Neuk Wobblers) had a beginners open day that you just turned up at paid a fiver they supplied a helmet and a bike and off you went. Had a great time and enjoyed every minute, great bike (125 skorpa 4 stroke) and really friendly people offering good helpfull advise. Also this club promots easyier ridable trials. I am at present looking around for a bike and also will be joining club in the very near future. Ian Melville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a sweet little bike and go ride a bit, as the trials is about keeping a low score, you can drive yersel nuts, and still be safe.
