Arkley Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi everyone - guess I'll be asking a lot of questions soon enough. 57 & just starting out in trials - borrowed view to buy a black engine yellow Suzuki Beamish. North Norfolk UK. Joined Dabbers trials - scored over 100 in my 1st trials....must have been the bike.. ? Race in over 35's MX - cant go fast enough...now trials cant go slow enough....doh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich500 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Welcome to trials mate! No harm in starting at 57, I met a fella the other week about to ride his first trial at 71! Plenty of slow figure of 8 turns in the garden will rid you of those motorcoss habits! ? Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatman Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Hi there, Can I ask why you decided to buy a Beamish Suzuki and not a modern bike like a Beta Evo? Hope you enjoy trials..... ☺️ Edited September 16, 2019 by scatman Bad grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkley Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Hi Scatman - sure.. 1 There is a twinshock club near to me. (Dabbers) - so convenient. 2 Some of my friends are in this club - so social. 3 We have a duty to keep old bikes alive wherever poss - so moral 4 I like repairing & re-building as much as riding (I race a 1990 YZ250 mx). So hobby. 5 I like the look & style of twinshocks - so visual. 6 At clubman level its all about the riders capacity not so much the bike - not like I'm going to do extreme trials.....yet. So skill level. 7 Oh...& my mate has kind of given - lent the Beamish to me to use / view to buy - no rush - so cheap... In my dream garage I would have a monoshock - plus a pre 65 - prob a rigid too... also a cafe racer - bobber - dirt track - speedway in fact a working riding museum would be nice....(I have a Husaberg 501 enduro / YZ250 super evo / RM125mx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
