dingle Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hello! I found this place after a quick google on tinternet so thought I best sign up and say Hello. (Worked for Adele!) Iv been into bikes since I was a little kid, starting in the field at 9yrs old on an old DT125 then doing my CBT at 16 and full test at 17. Iv ridden most diciplines (mostly road based) and currently own 10 bikes, ranging from an R1 through a KTM525 to a mini moto and some mopedathon racers, but trials is the one thing iv never done, I was an avid fan of kickstart as a kid and my oldest brother had a TY175 years back. Last year I bought my youngest (he is 6) a little beta 50 as a step up from the PW50 he was riding, so have decided I'm now too going to take the plunge so I can ride out with him and finally after all these years see what it's all about. I look forward to getting to know you all, and no doubt annoying you all with my newbie questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishyfishy Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Hi Dingle Glad to hear you are adding more bikes to your fleet, a man can never have too many bikes! Great age for your son to start riding, what could be better than you both taking part, he will soon progress and beat you This Sunday Nene Valley Trials club are have their final round this year at a venue not too far from Warwickshire at Long Furlong Farm, Catesby, Northants. NN11 6LW which is near Rugby. Starts at 10.30, finishes at about 2pm. Why not pop along if you are free. It's a great venue. You will find most people taking part are very friendly and willing to help/give guidance if required. http://www.trialscentral.com/news-archive/uk-trials-news/17657-nene-valley-mcc-the-janet-jones-trophy-trial-south-midland-centre-championship-round Edited November 27, 2015 by bishyfishy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourian Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Hi and welcome dingle, you'll find trials folk are a very friendly and helpful bunch There are a few clubs local to Warwickshire, one I definitely recommend for you and your lad is Earl Shilton Trials club, full membership gets you access to a practice ground open all year round. Leamington Victory hold trials in south Warwickshire their boxing day trial is a must. I second what bishyfishy says about the trial at Long Furlong farm this Sunday great venue get there if you can but bring your wellies just incase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingle Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks for the welcomes chaps, indeed i may stop when I get to 20 I still hanker after a hyabusa and a big adventure bike too. His balance is fantastic, watching him on his pedal cycle is amazing, so I don't doubt he will quickly and easily surpass me! I'd love to pop along to that but I'm in the process of building a shed / workshop / storage facility so really need to get on with that, but thanks for the heads up. Ouiran you are the 2nd person to mention Earls Shilton so I will look into that, Victory Fields is approx 5 miles from my house and I have been to watch trials both up there and at their Napton site. Boxing Day trial sounds a great one to pop along to. I haven't actually got a trials bike as yet but am planning on ordering one early new year as a late xmas present to myself .
