i've had a few TL125 hondas over the years, didnt compete, just enjoyed myself. if your son likes cycling, he should take to trials, and it gives him an awareness of bike control if he ever follows in his dads footsteps.

Yes .. I have been there and done that too .. one of the best sections of motorcycle sport  :)
 
The little BSA 250 C15 was a real 'go anywhere' tool .. so we did  :rolleyes
 
Sammy Millar was the king of the wilds then and the annual Scotish Six Day event was the Formula One of the working mans clan  :b
 
Happy Days indeed .. Stay Safe  ;)    Trev

Just for fun for me, I used to live on the outskirts of the lead mines in Newtownards which was the venue for one of the worlds trial series so I was able to ride the bikes up through the forest and onto wildly varying terrain, which was a real hoot

Fantastic pictures trev...thanks for sharing......well, little red and myself  went yesterday which must have been the wettest day for a long time....a good turnout, too wet for us we watched from the car.......not much interest from little red but I dont think the weather helped, will try again in the spring  ;)
