I was seriously thinking about getting a trials bike, but after reading a bit here, I'm back on the fence and leaning slightly away from it.
Is the only point of a trials bike to compete? I thought it was about getting out there and riding stuff that would otherwise be deemed near impossible on a dirt bike. I have no competitive spirit whatsoever, but the thought of riding obstacles in Utah and Colorado is always on my mind (and, more importantly, the heavy weight of my DRZ400 is often on it side)
Is competing in trials events the ONLY lure, or will I be able to find someone to just go out and ride with?
