    That seemed like a lot of fun. I'll have to search and see if we have anything like that here in Ontario Canada.

    Looks like just my speed as well. If I weren't on the other side of the pond... and then way up north, I would have really enjoyed attending. Alas, I've not seen anything similar in the States. Thanks for sharing.

      Mike K I may talk to the organisers about how to import it to the States. It is a hoot!

    Yep. Everyone needs to have ridden a trials bike at least once. Great new skills learned. Good excercise. Relatively cheap. And prolly the safest of all powered motorsports. Especially for a beginner.
    Great fun

    Looks like fun! Are you Still enjoying your Royal Enfield? any problems with it? Great looking bike and I just like a single cylinder thumper.

      Fuzzy Was I am still very much enjoying my Enfield. Had an issue that required replacing the generator early on in ownership. No real issues to speak of since then. There was a bit of misfiring so I replaced the stock spark plug with a hotter one and that was easily resolved. Just had scheduled service completed and insisted on an oiled change that isn’t called for in the service boon until 7500 miles. Found lots of metal filings and shrapnel in the filters and drain plugs, so I was happy to have been proactive.
      It’s a cracking thumper. I love it.
      Thanks for the comment.

    Looks great fun. If it's still in New Milton, next year I might go. At 68 I'm an old fart myself now, so won't be up all night partying ( just up all night peeing )

      @@DickWhistles I can't wait to see how 500 performed. Apparently events like this are in their DNA.
      I'm getting mine in 2 days :)

      londo0 congratulations! For what colour did you go? I actually took my BMW the second day, as my wife came along on pillion and the whole day on the back of the Classic would have been too big an ask.
      If you’re near London, let’s go for a ride once you get your new bike!

      @@DickWhistles Hehe, I'm in Sydney, Australia :).
      I've got a chrome bullet 500. 2011 model, but very, very well kept. Second owner put new engine in 1000kms ago. First owner didn't really care about oil changes.
      So I basically get 500 with new engine.
