Watson© Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hey folks...Just thought I would post a thread up. Some of you may remember me, and most of you wont have a clue who I am haha My usernam used to be 'Biker_Watson'.I stopped riding trials a good 2 years ago I think it was. Woke up one Sunday morning and it was a cracking day, clear blue skies, totally roasting. Made me want to go back out on the bike. So I fixed up what was needing done then I set off. Was utter crap, balance and everything was gone... could still hop though ha. Anyways, I forgot how much fun it was to ride trials, so I'm now getting back into it and going to ride on a general basis. The bug is back in me!!! Just wanting people to fill in the last couple of years for me, what I've missed out on, what I need to know, new things that have happened, that sort of thing etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
