    Iv got a 2007 sherco 290 cabeystany - I bought it new but haven't used it for 3 years.

    Always wanted one of these but couldn't find one for what i thought to be a sensible price. Until now!

    Its brilliant, pretty cheap to do.

    I paid £1200 for the Tlr, I shouldn't imagine i'll lose any, tenner in fuel and it'll keep me going all day.

    Trials is a cheap form of motorsport, I try to ride as often as I can. The wet weather makes the events more fun!

    Here's a picture of the Scorpa 250

    And here's one of the DRZ that I use for Long Distance Trials.

    There's not many sports where you can ride in the same event as your 4 year old and 7 year old kids. They absolutely love it, providing it's not to cold! The muddier the better.

    That's going to look lovely, keep the pictures coming.

    I passed on the chance to buy a Seeley 200 years ago and kicked myself everytime I think about it, couldn't afford one now!
