Hello to all. 'Mad old guy tries to relive his youth'. Hi, I live in Malmesbury, Wiltshire and did some trail riding 20+ years ago on a DT175. Recently I had a brainstorm and thought it might be fun to do some again. As a precursor I had a refresher day at Trailworld as I haven't been riding for many years. Apart from wrecking my right hand in one of numerous falls, it went well. However, I am very much a newbie and need to gain riding skill and confidence. After reading numerous reviews of bikes I decided I needed a good beginnners steed and have invested in a secondhand Honda CRF230 and have spent recent weeks getting it road legal, the final hurdle being my application to the DVLA which I am currently progressing. I have made a preliminary contact with the Wiltshire group but would welcome contact with other local riders (mentors!) to discuss easy local lanes etc, and also other users of the CRF 230. Thanks for reading, look forward to meeting soon.
