hi, i have been brouwsing the forums for a while now and have read a lot of interesting stuff. I thought id post up and say hi, Im Mark im 25 and live in devon in the uk, i recently bought a 02 montesa and thats what has brought me here. have always been into bmx and after riding my friends 315 i had to have one! its like a bmx with an engine anyway hello to everyone, i hope to have a long and enjoyable stay! take it easy Mark

Hello we are French trial side-car riders ,we'd like to get in touch with British riders to exchange views and ,why not?, manage to get togheter one day.

I keep hearing that the montesa 4rt (even tho it did badly in the indoor champs) will clean up when the outdoor champs start ,is this and educated guess or does someone know something we dont. This here in front of us is a questionaire for honest Montesa 4RT owners. 1:Do you ride any better. 2:Is it easier to ride. 3:Is it easier to live with. 4:What was your previous trials bike. 5:Does it feel lighter/heavier than your previous bike. 6:would you buy another one 7: Is 4 stroke better than 2 stroke Remember honesty is always the best policy

Could it be true? I just returned from a Trade show a couple of weeks ago , were I spoke to a manager of a company who makes cheap scooters and bicycles. This company is already producing bicycles for trials that retail for around 300.00 in the US. Im sure many of you have seen the youngsters zooming around the pits on these 20'' bicycles and now 26'' wheeled models are being sold. So, I asked if there was a motorcycle trials bike in R&D and he said they would have pictures by July of this year. The bike is suppose to have large wheels, but the motor will only be a 110 4-stroke, air cooled design. I actually seen a off road looking bike with a 200cc motor in an…

I need the knowledge of some of you expert mechanics. Just spent 20 mins kicking my usually reliable fantic section. However it wont start, i tried all the usuall (i think??) i heard some splashing near the rear. it turns out there is a water/petrol mix in there. What could have cause this?? Cheers in advance Conor

I need a new helmet. I want either a white or silver one, no other colours really as I am getting a sticker kit for it. I am thinking about getting an NZI standard

http://www.zonatrial.net/actualidad1.asp?Id=26 Just wanting to know what this is, a reflex copy?

Andy, Did you upset someone on Mars?

I am thinking of getting the wheels on my 04 Sherco 290 anodised black. I have seen Gassers and Beta's with this done, and it looks the dogs, but I think this is helped is these bikes have red in them, and the contrast of colour looks great. Has anyone got any pics of a Sherco with black rims?

I have a small sideyard (10'wide X 40' long) that I want to set up as a practice area. Its small but I dont have to drive. What is a easy to build obstacle to practice on for a total beginner? Wire reels, pallets, picnic table, what?

my dad needs to weld his exhaust bracket on his 96 gas gas, as it is electric welder, what will need disconecting on the bike? will it be ok just to disconnect some earths? thanks colly

I just saw them on RYP website. Are they the wave of the future, or will they go the way of hexagonal grips?

Can someone in the States or in Europe tell me how one would go about getting the fenders and/or graphics to make a Montesa 4RT look like a Honda 4RT? Is that what they're even called in Japan? Or are they RTL's or something? Thanks

Stumbled in to this picture of Doug from our 04 event. I can only think of one other person doing this. (Debbie Evans) Anyone else out there pulling it off?

I have seen the ACU Fixtures on here but can't get find them again!! Can anyone help or find me the thread. Cheers
