There are a few trail riders who are showing an interest in trials riding. After more than 20 years of waiting for like minded riders, I have a group of people who would inspire me to continue riding or rather to return to this style of riding to spend my freetime while enjoying nature.
Currently bikes are the biggest stumbling block to our progress. We have to make do with incorect bike for our purpose, learning trials will be a big challenge with a steeper learning curve without a true trials bike. Not to despair though, Im doing R and D on my KLX to find the correct set up and minor modification to ensure progress and making learning easier with more fun too.
In the pipeline is a new set of alloy triple clamp to further lightened the front end. Exhaust system will be replaced with a lighter unit. These two items will enhance the balance of the bike by lowering the COG. A plastic tank from KLX 140 will lower the centre of gravity further anf lightened the bike considerably. The other important item is 21 inch front wheel but it has to wait until some smart alex produce or import a 28 hole one..
Generally about play and leisure riding and travel. To observe nature and local customs and to conserve
