rmak Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hello everyone,I'm a crusty old geezer (62). A lifelong motorcycle rider with a love of British bikes. Currently I'm on a Hinkley Triumph and a 74 Norton (not at once!). I was an old motorcross and scramble rider on Sachs/Pentons and Husquvarnas in the early 70's. My eldest boy was going to follow my lead and bought a Suzuki RM125, but has tired of it and left it in my shop when he moved out. I've been thinking and wondering if I could de-tune and adapt it over to a trials type machine for my personal use around our acreage and woods. There are few or no trials competitions in Ohio, USA where I live so the trials part would only be a trial against my arthritis and fallen tree trunks. Hope to pick up some technical info and insights here.My apologies if this is the wrong type of forum for this type of inquiry. Any help and guidance would be appreciated.

middleageman Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hello there! Unfortunately this forum is for bicycle Trials, although I know some members on here also practise motorcycle Trials and they may be able to help out or point you to a more suitable forum. Good luck with your quest and keep on ridin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmak Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Ha, ha. I told you guys I was a geezer! A senile one at that! No wonder there were no replys.
