It seems those nice people at YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE have written a book on the Twinshock era. For me it has to be the best era in trials, reckon they will be on to a winner with this Click on site ad for more..

Can someone explain to me if there's such a thing as a recognised British twin shock championship? I've heard of the normandale rounds and the Sammy miller series. What's the difference in the two series regards in severity, roadwork etc?

just curious, what is the most difficult line for twinshock....... maybe I'm getting old, but many moons ago I seem to recall expert or master class was quite a challenge to ride, I love riding vintage class but sometimes I wish for nastier sections. No I don't have the money for a modern bike, however the modern sections are a little much to splater on old school bikes(weight) anyone else feel this way? I have done most of the mods I can (i.e. drilled spokes for lightness).....unless someone wants to donate a "peril kt250 frame. not too sincerly yours dgraf

does anyone know of any clubs in the yorkshire area that run twinshock classes at thier trials? i would like to be able to put together a full "season" of events if possible, any advice appreciated. paul.

Nice weather and trials entertainment

Anyone seen the RTX Yamaha mono engined bike Chris Koch was pictured on in last weeks TMX news i think it was a John Bliss RTX chassis with a Yamaha ty mono engine installed? and by the looks of it a majesty tank? anyone seen it in action?

Any other Twinshockers got an entry in the Manx Two Day? Is last man away on the Saturday good or bad? Last time I rode (1995, 240 Fantic) we supplied fuel in cans, which was transported to stops for us - is it still the same setup?

Hi all, getting all a bit muddled. Looking to get into trials after many year being a road biker. Started off thinking twinshock then something newer, after seeing what you get for your money!!! After going to a local trial near Ipswich i am thinking twinshock. I have been getting advice here and there. My dilema which is a common one is which bike! Like the Fantics till i was told last night about spares prices. Piston

Are they worth the buying ? Sold my bike the other day so have cash burning a hole and fancy something different. Couple on ebay at the mo and look like they've been well restored. What problems will/would I encounter if I do buy one ? Thanks in advance.

Anyone 'not' notice the Majesty 200 going for

Howdy folks.Any one here be intrested in competeing in a premiere twinshock road trial some time in the autunm next year. The idea being that there is no big meeting for twinshock riders in the calender only the ACU classic series,the pre65 boys have the scotish,manx and bonanza, so we in the herefordshire classic trials club want to put on an event for the twinshock brigade. Useing terrain in the same part of the county as an old national trial was once held. No dates at the mo as we dont want to clash with the ACU classic series. Anyone intersted? Cheers.

OK. As usual with me a bit complicated but i will try to keep it simple. I've just bought a std TY250 twinshock as a bit of a "project" as if i aint got enough The front forks are pitted so my options are? 1. Have them rechromed. Problem everybody says they are crap forks anyway. 2. Fit a set off a TY250Mono. Have you ever tried to get hold of a set of forks off a TY250mono that arent knackered already? 3. Find and fit a set off something else. Now this i find attractive as there is more chance of finding something than trying to find a set of mono ones. Plus if i can fit a set of 35mm dia ones the fork yokes dont need machining so much unlike with mono TY ones a…

After a LONG time out of competitive trials, I coming back to have a go at twinshock. My era was 72 - 84 Ive trawled the usual markets in a search for a Fantic 240 / Mont 349 / Maj 320 (ebay, trials central, biketrader) but can anyone suggest other good places to look for such bikes for sale ont'internet or elsewhere........

Does anyone have the dates and clubs running the remaining rounds of the National Twinshock Championship that Congleton and Oxford Ixion have ran?

Hello Twinshockers Something for the cold evenings at home. I was riding on 15 January a AFATA Twinshock Trial Luxeuil in France, see their webpage for more info: http://philmarg.club.fr/index.htm I wrote a report with pics on our club homepage (needs ADSL highspeed, because I put many pics and some clips on it). It's in German, but the pics are "jpg". Before the Trial I visited a nice Museum of Joel Corroy, Scottish Pre65 rider http://www.twnclub.ch/classic_trial_files/...Luxeuil2006.htm the Trial is on the next page: http://www.twnclub.ch/classic_trial_files/...xeuil2006_2.htm I don't know about Twinshock events in UK, but I think not winning or riding the best…

Hi , I am travelling over to the UK from Guernsey on January 23rd to pick up a twinshock and was wondering if there are any trials on in the Portsmouth / Southampton area?

Hi all,, I want to clear something up about twinshock trials bikes,,, I ride several different twinshocks, But the one i use in modern trials took me months to build and yes it has disc brakes, hydraulic clutch and a tubeless rear wheel, but at the end of the day is a twinshock.. and is a lot heavier than a modern bike, My point is when motorbikes were first used in trials they were just modded road bikes that people were trying to make as competetive as possible, So a lot of people get a lot of enjoyment from taking an old bike to the next level, and pushing the boundries of their bikes, But those of you who ride standard machines are constantly up in arms…

Bonsoir, Being dragged back to Blighty for a wedding around the August bank holiday, might soften the blow if I could get a trial in whilst there, anything on please, will be staying in Helford, so a nice part of the world. If anybody could let me know so I can start working on the wife now............you know whack the bike on the rack under cover of darkness etc etc.... Thanks vm

Anyone got any old trials videos from late '70s to early '80's that they would like to make a copy of? (VHS or DVD) Probably a bit thin on the ground, i only have 1982 British world round, great haircuts back then!
