Default Your first time?

OK nothing about carnal desires here, so if I've lost your attention you may leave.

As a long time trials rider (I started at 13) and with quite a lot of enduro/off-road experience under my belt (15 years) I've wondered how people with off-road experience react to the first time they ride a trials bike. Obviously I've long since ceased to be objective.

I used to think, 25 odd years ago, that trials bikes were pussy cats. Docile, small, light and nothing intimidating about them. These days I'm not so sure. My Raga, if not treated with appropriate respect will bite and badly. I would describe it as "highly strung".

So those of you who can remember the first time you rode a trials bike and who had off-road experience please share your impressions.
