Howdy!
I just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm Samuel (Lloyd is my car's name) from Tasmania. I don't have a trials bike at the moment... actually, I do, a TY80 I last competed on back in about 1993 in Novice.. so I'm on the look out for something a bit more modern, and bigger. I used to think I could rival Jordi Tarres on that little bike, clearly I had a wild imagination as a kid. Or I was exceptionally delusional.
I've ridden my Dad's Fantic 243 on and off over the years but got side tracked with cars and road bikes, and wanted to get a track bike for the local race track. The thing is, they're expensive buggers and you don't get to ride when you want to. So a Trials bike is the logical option - I can play a bit in the back yard, or on my parent's property, or a bunch of other places, whenever I like! It makes perfect sense to me.
So basically after almost 20 years, I've likely lost what few skills I had, but I've got plenty of places to practice when I'm not working - the joys of IT, often things need to be done outside normal hours.
Anyway, none of that was particularly exciting. This looks like a pretty good site with loads of good information, so I'll probably stick around a while!

Re: Another new guy
Welcome guys. Whats this thing about 20 year gaps, I started riding again last year after a 20 year break also, it took a while for the old skills to return but I enjoy it as much as I ever did and I surprise myself each time I'm out riding.
