    Graham Jarvis Spanish training.

    I had a humiliating & overwhelming sense of inadequacy until the last few seconds of this vid...........

    I hope you did'nt treat the wee DT like that!!

    I must admit, now that I have put some time into it, the wee Yamaha makes me look good at times, must have had the front wheel at least 6" off the ground. Now I just need to get my downhill stoppies on gravel sorted. Looks a doddle...

    P.S. Having watched a load of videos & youtube clips my G/F is chewing at the bit to get a trials bike. Happy days!

    No I didnt try anything like that on the DT, not the right bike, the Gassa is lighter and more power to double blip a rock.

    That wee DT made me look good too, they are a very capable bike for a road registered trail bike.

    I will keep an eye out for the Graham Jarvis DT230 update

    Trials bikes are so easy to ride at 69kg and lots of fun

    I learned to ride on a Montesa Cota then was thrown onto a Bultaco 360, a very different beast. Spent months sitting on my butt every time I pulled away with too much enthusiasm. I'm the right age to get back into the genteel art of trials. I'm happy with a pile of rocks & a couple of logs to keep me occupied.
