Hi All,

As the title says, I've just bought a 315r & this seems like a good place for info & advice, I haven't even ridden it properly yet as it's stood a while & I want to change the fluids & check it over first, also I must contact the guy I bought it off as he's forgotten to give me the seat :P

I had a ancient Bultaco 250 Sherpa T 20 odd years ago followed by a Fantic 303, but haven't thrown a leg over a trials bike for about 12 years, I only ever used them for fun & am totally useless, but that'll all change, the 315r being a more modern mount will have me riding like a pro.........or maybe not.

noMates. (Montesa, geddit!)

Seat fell off my 315 too. Mind you, compared to my TL250 from 30 years ago quite a few Kilos have fallen off as well!

Yeah, compared to the Bultaco or Fantic the 315 is like a bicycle!

A trials bike can be dated by the size of its seat!! From full seats to gradually nothing! :P

Glad you explained about the noMates, thought you had run out of condoms !
