I am, family stuff going on up there means I need to move up there for a few years.

I'm looking at getting into trials too. All good advice .Have talked to a few guys about 2 v 4 stroke. They all love their bikes either 2 or 4 stroke. The hours some of the bikes had done were huge. A Montesa 250 4 stroke with over 800 hrs on it with only a piston change done at 700hrs . A bit different to MX bikes.

Hope you don't have the trouble this guy had finding a bike

Haw haw haw. Have found the bike I want and made an offer, just waiting to hear back from the owner. Hopefully its a goer. Hear is a photo shop of what I'm trying to acheive. Should weigh in at under 80kgs and have trials bike handling with trail bike comfort and heaps of range, plus i rekcon it will look waaaaaay cool!

That's what I'm really starting to enjoy doing on the TT...

But it's taller and 115kg...

Got trials tyres though. Almost as good as 705's

I'm now offically a trials bike owner. thanks to everyone for the tips, you guys are real swell

I'm hoping to have it delivered in time for a little excursion to Wiaroa next weekend. I expect i'm in for a bit of learning curve but should be a lot of fun learning new ways to fall off a motorcycle

Oh and for those interested heres a shot:

COOOOOL

Well done. Can't wait to see you on it next Sat. Would you like to throw that wee thing on our trailer ???? We have a large trailer with good tie down points. Have had on it my DR200, a XR200, a MX bike (RM250 ? ) & a XR100. Just my 200 & Ross's 250.
