pussy, i did 6 miles in 35 minutes on my trials rig last weekend. a miles not too far on mod or stock. being truthful + honest, you wont pick trials up as quickly as all the teens wen they start, so give yourself every advantage and start on a mod, they are easier to ride and learn things on, don't be concerned about what other people might think like you've said, even if your on a stock chances are you'll still have wide bars and no seat + loud brakes so everyone will stare at you anywat . go for a mod, then move to stock if you feel the need/have the money.
