i miss my trials bike

I miss mine, I found competing to be frustarting though (I only ever entered 2 trials :oops:). I'd 5 a section and then some 10 year old would clean it and make it look so easy.

I did used to enjoy mucking about or riding the sections after the trial had finished, I could normally make a job of it with no one observing too.

My bf has been trialing for a while and I have seized the opportunity over Christmas to give it a go ....... and I loved it! Just down at a local query ar*ing about but what a laugh. Did ok I think too .... it is going to be my 'learn something new' for this year!

Have done quite a bit of mountain biking and feel it is the same attitude required ....... The way I see it it can all be good experience, so that leads me to say if any one is selling a ty250, give me a shout!

Did a restoration job on it, got a bit carried away.
Probably could have a new one for what it cost.
This is what it looked like when I bought it:

Yep .... did he get out in one piece or did he do a nice head the water trick! Love the concentration on the face and the finger use on the clutch. Great sport for kids, and, in general, father son bonding !

Triańs? Pah, try to stay clear myself since that occasion when I was up before the Beak over flashing when driving my car. My defence that I had spilt a hot coffee all over myself cut no ice at all! :?
