I just bought a trials bike on a whim, from a shop, the guy delivered it all virus safe. I'm lucky enough to have some land to play on and it's brilliant! I've got a scrap micra I'm eyeing up but I climbed on top of it yesterday and it's a long way down!
Anyone do any trials? Might join the local club when I can and do a bit.

Love that.Never ridden one but one mentalist that I used to work with used to commute in to work on his occasionally.
I had a good nosey around it and they are proper trick looking bits of kit, I'd love to have a go of one.
I'd imagine riding one could only help improve your road riding too? Clutch control, balance etc ..
My lad does trials... He rides a hopped up Oset. Amazing little thing.
Definitely worth joining a club, simply because setting up a trials bike is a completely different world from road or enduro bikes.
The grip they can find when properly set up is simply mind blowing.
One thing... Get some proper trials boots if you haven't already. They make a big difference.

I'm looking at them, trying not to turn a whim into a moneypit!Definitely worth joining a club, simply because setting up a trials bike is a completely different world from road or enduro bikes.
