Looking through Ebay in the Trials area and see this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Triumph-196...=item439d3bdeaa

Is this really a Trials Bike or just somebody trying to sell something?

I sure can't picture trying to get that "lump of lead" around any Trials Section that I've ridden. I'm not knocking Triumphs, just can't see riding a section on something that big and heavy.

Didn't the yanks use them as desert racers & enduro bikes?
They did a lot of winning as Harleys were heavier!

More trail than trial

Coures its a trials bike, can you not tell by the straight thro exhausts and fitted tyres !

Cleaning a section is like setting fire to Joanna Lumleys shoes.

I'm pretty sure that ain't a cub ... Maybe he means "Time Trials " aka road racing ... Thinks that one might be scary on anything but pavement ...!
