hello all,
i'm new to TT.
until recently, my dirt riding experience was limited to off-track excursions while racing formula 3 with the AFM. a friend convinced me to try offroad and, of course, i was instantly hooked. at the moment i ride a 2005 honda crf 450r and a 2008 ktm 250sx.
i'm very interested in trials and i'm actively searching for a solid pre '03 bike. however, i'm having a terrible time finding one within a few hours drive from the bay area. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

i look forward to being a part of the community!

Welcome Carbon.

Good luck in the bike hunt. You'll love these bikes, highly flickable.

:prof: welcome, you might have to drive a little .theres a beta on craigslist and a girl in this forum is selling a gasgas 280 p.m two ply for her e-mail address and pics,used bikes are hard to find now people are not buying much new nowadays

I'd call up Adrian or Mandy at Lewisportusa.com.Good people and he probably comes accross more used bikes in Nor cal than anyone.My 2 cents.

yeah i think he has a couple of 200,s

thanks for the tips, everyone! adrian and mandy took great care of me. i snatched up that '02 gg 280 they had listed on the site. then they talked me into entering the trials event at hollister tomorrow. having ridden a total of 30 feet on a trials bike to date, it should be interesting! :smirk:

nice i was going to ride that event,too far

Welcome aboard. My path was much like yours. Got an enduro-style bike and was instantly hooked. Learned about trials and thought it looked cool. Now my enduro bike sits. And sits.
