The reason for my question is fairly simple as my name indicates I am a Dirt Dud of a rider .
At 63 I will never be great or really impress anyone so really a 2005 GasGas would make me almost as good as having a new bike .
I have been getting new bikes every year for a while now and I am sure they do not help my riding in a way that anyone notices .
So Why buy a New bike ? These are my reasons.
Last year it was a 200 Vertigo I picked up a used 2019 Beta 300 also both are sold .
Last years bike was a 177cc bike this years bike is a 225cc bike and I am getting to experience the evolution of them .
I have had a few Beta 200 a 125 Scorpa and a bunch of bigger cc bikes .
I have been spoiled b because my wife lets us spend most of our disposable income on 2 wheels and our dogs .
So I buy the new bikes because my wife of 40 years lets me and well it just makes me happy .
So I ask why do you deserve your trials bike ?
