Here's what an "Easy" Trial Looks Like. Trials For Beginners!
How do you get more people into trials? With events like this! It can be intimidating and I think that puts loads of people off coming and competing.
This is a great little series that catered to beginners to clubman level, perfect for a huge amount of us.
So enjoy our afternoon out at Bracken Rocks!

    An Aussie here, been watching this bike for sometime. What appeals to me, is it’s out of the square, it’s basic in many ways, lm a big believer in the KISS principle. In some countries I can understand the trepidation in purchasing one, service centre / dealer support. On the other hand there’s nothing unusual fitted to the bike. So repairs/ parts should not be issue one would think. By all accounts the reviews on this bike is positive. Glad your enjoying your purchase and at the end of the day if the bike makes smile regardless of bike that’s what it’s all about

    So every "phone or tablet" I've tried to use on a bike is always so dim in sunlight that it's essentially useless. If someone made a "sunlight readable" phone or tablet I'd say that would be a great option (as long as its suitably vibration resistant). The PR7 was the only serious contender I considered with the 701e. The only reason I didn't get the AJP is that service would be a nightmare (closest is hours away).

    • @James_Rides
      @James_Rides 24 дня назад

      The DMD tablets and phones look the best option.. I just couldn’t handle to £1000+ price tag. Having gone and done the first service I’ll be doing my own from now on, they’re really really easy to do all that fun stuff on. Only the valves to worry about but i don’t mind that.

When you get to the end of the Claerwen byway it becomes a bridleway (so not legal to ride) for a short period and there is then about 1km of track (also i think not legal to ride?) before you cross a ford and get to the UCR which then becomes tarmac and comes out at Ffair-Rhos.

    I tested the PR7 few years back then chose the Husky701E instead. I fitted the RadeGarage rally tower and a comfort seat, which made it more expensive than the PR7, but no regret, I enjoyed my 701E for 14.000km on TET. Now riding a 500excf with just the comfort seat, already 10.000km without any issue. Changing oil after 10 to 20 days trips, like 2000 to 4000km . So lighter than 690/701/PR7, that I don't drop my bike anymore on very technical pathes. (Sure a better rider would not drop its 690/PR7)
