Not sure if anyone is remotely interested but I did a long distance trial on my DT 125 LC a few weeks back. My first trial ever. It was about 100 miles long consisting of special sections and byways. Way harder than i expected but even the regulars said some of the sections were quite hard. My bike also decided to stop idling which made life harder. I am doing a series of videos if anyone is interested, or just wants a laugh at me struggling  |

Yes, my friends that I normally ride byways with said I would enjoy it🙄 not so sure about the sections, but the byways were good🙂👍
Plenty of dabs, more like feet down everywhere 😁
I've stupidly booked another for 3 weeks time at Canada heights 😁

My poor old DT!
I remember lovingly building it and there you are – throwing it around the byways…….
What do you think it is? A C90 !!
Great effort Mick, glad its being used :-)

Yes I've used mine for mainly green laning but the friends I go with all do long distance trials and said I'd enjoy it.
Most of the sections I found difficult, especially when the bike wouldn't idle. There are more videos going up of the rest of the sections. They did say the sections were quite difficult more difficult than usual.
I have another one booked in 3 weeks time so hopefully bike will run properly and I'll do a bit better 🤞

Brilliant it’s what they were made for I used go out in Wales with a group on my crm250 mostly ktm riders but the Honda left a lot of them stunned on some of the tricky hill climbs

Just watched part 1 and 2, it looked bloody great. Beautiful countryside too... took me back to Rabley Heath a million years ago.
Gave me an additional kick up the arse to get my DT200 finished. I'm off to the shed now!

Ha cheers.i did another yesterday. 100 miles and 23 special sections🙂I did all of the sections on this one, didn't skip one. Also only fell off once😁
Unfortunately only have video of 5 first sections because the observer on the 6th section made me take camera off as its apparently against ACU rules 🙄even though I had on last trial, and there was a guy on this trial that had one on still 😡😞
