Haggis1138 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Eyup folks. I'm an ald fuddy duddy who had decided to give Trials a go. I used to compete in Land Rover trials before my move to a wild and wet Scotland. I miss getting mucky so have decided to have a go at motorcycle trials as a hobby Not looking to become top of the class, just to meet a like minded bunch of folks and have a laugh. I'm not new to bikes though. Been riding for 46 years. Just fancy a change. I am an engineer by trade and have a custom bike building workshop for building choppers etc. Why an I here? To learn from other peoples experience and to ask for help. Oh yes to buy a bike as well. Cant Trial without one :-) I'm located in North Ayrshire Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that allowed?.........Maybe could build a Royal Enfield machine out of a modern bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Sorry I wasn't clear meant hello from the East Coast . See you're looking for a bike? Our local lad Duncan Wood 01333 311744 is worth a call, mind you he's 70 today so he might be busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis1138 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Thanks for the input folks. Followed some of the leads today. No luck. Then as if by magic I find myself the new owner of a 2015 Beta 300 Evo that has not done a lot of work and was cheaper than some 2004 ones advertised. Happy bunny....Well for now anyway. Until someone comes along and tell me I done the wrong thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Bring it down to the Galloway Club trial at Thornhill this weekend - details on the club website and Facebook page. The event will suit someone such as yourself - there will be a few beginners there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
