New from Gladstone

Post by Matt87 »

Hi all

My name is Matt. My dad bought a 1991 Yamaha TY250 Pinky a couple of week ago and after having a little ride of it I was hooked, so after a little bit of looking I just bought myself a 2008 Gas Gas 250 Raga. I have ridden a few trail bikes in my teens but never a trials bike so I have to get used to the standing up all the time thing but I'm really enjoying it so far.

Hopefully I'll get myself along to a local trials day to have a try

Matt the pinky your Dad bought has quite a history in Central Queensland trials. The bloke you bought it from reformed the Rocky Trials Club in the early 1980s and was the club president for many years. That Pinky was the last new trials bike he bought. Prior to it he had an OSSA MAR, TY175 and Ty250R (drum braked mono model)
relax, nothing is under control

I'll have to let him know that. We knew he was quite the rider in his time
