Open invitation, I will have my 2007 Sherco 250 with me on Sunday, if any of you guys come out my bike has my name on the yellow front plate Paul Delis, come and see me and take the bike for a play, you will be amazed how easy a 69kg bike is to ride after an Adventure bike, it is truly not 1/2 an adventure bike.

A very kind offer! And I can attest to what you're saying. First time I rode a true trials bike I freaked! Shitload of fun.

At 6:00 the spotter/catcher grabs the front wheel and goes head first off camera...
