Whilst deciding what to do with my painful trials career coming to a close I decided that I should at least keep one bike in the shed and felt that the Beta ought to be the one to stay.
Over the past month or so I have got it ready to ride and done a few mods to make it suit me. As you know, modern bikes are designed for 11stone youths to ride not over weight middle aged blokes.
I have therefore obtained a stronger spring for the front forks and had a new rear shock made to suit my weight (Supplied by John Gaskell at Revs Suspension). I have also added a handlebar riser kit to lift the bars by 20mm. Together these mods have transformed it for me and I find it so much fun to ride.
As I wasnt too keen on the rather loud colour scheme on the 2008 bike (white and dayglo red) I decided to change the appearance of the bike. I got a full set of 2007 plastics from a Beta 4 stroke which fitted straight on, then added a set of Top Trial Team black stickers which I think make the whols thing look a little different from the rest.
Pics added today, show the bike how it now looks. Lets hope I get to ride it now and again!!
