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.
