I ran across this forum and had a moment of "motorcycle epiphany" the other day :clue:
Maybe the reason that I like to plonk around in 1st & 2nd gear over ledges & obstacles - and the reason that I keep adding stuff (FWW/carb mod/torque pipe/etc.) to boost the "low end" of my KDX... is that I was meant to ride a trials bike!
Obvious question (to anyone who has one) - I've "Read This" and understand that a trials bike is meant to always be ridden standing up - and that sitting is awkward - but can it be done??
I mean, if I'm going 1/2 mi. from obstacle area "A" to obstacle area "B" - or if I'm following my nephew around the trails on his YZ 80 - is sitting even a possibility?
Or does that question fall into the "why would you want to (sit)?" category! I know it's the wrong question, since the bike is obviously made for standing, but curiousity got the best of me...
