General Trials Talk

Are there any factory pictures of the mont at the moment?

Got talking about this at a trial yesterday: what was the first production trials bike? I think it was the Norton 500T. Any other ideas?

The Official Manx National Two Day Trial is online @ www.manx2day.com. Check it out and let me know what you think and any handy hints would be appreciated. Cheers Manx2day.com

I have been using an NZI Carbon fibre helmet for several years now. The bugger has developed a nasty odor that seems to be fermenting like a fine aged cheese. I have used Helmet deodorants and occasionallly wash it out but the smell comes right back. I would like to find a replacement liner for it if possible. Anyone have any experience with finding a liner to fit the NZI? I know there are several trials helmets that come with removable liners but no one seems to know if you can buy an extra liner. I may choose to buy a new helmet with a removable liner, but only if I can get spare liners for it. Any advise, ideas etc.....is welcome. Ride slow.....take chances.

just bought a gas gas( as you may have seen in my last post ) but not sure where to ride i live in doncaster and the only place i know is steatly quarry do any of you know any other places to ride dont mind traveling a bit thanks

Im sure that Dabster will have the Answer!! But here goes.... Why have Sherco ripped off the HRC blue and red emblem?? ie red top , blue bottom with all letters joined together ?? I notices that the new fatstroke has PXC across the bar pad in hrc colours and i also noticed recently that MRS was advertising itself with the three letters all together ala HRC again!! Why?? couldnt they find anyother colours that went together?? Get yer own ideas Frenchie !!

I have an old and clapped out cota 348, but it has sentimantal value as I have had it fo 20 years. Anyone know where I can get a copy of the handbook and if Haynes did a manual (I seem to remember one for the 348/247) to try and ressurect the old girl. Thanks Andy

Hi I've been riding road bikes for many years and have also been green laning for quiet a few too. I am looking to have a go at Trials riding but dont have a clue where to start, so thought this would be a good starting point. I am looking to do this just for pleasure and am not really looking to enter loads of competion events, although a few events a year would be fun, so my questions are: Being a bit of a big lump (16st) what would be a good starter bike that will be fairly reliable and not cost the earth e.g 125, 250 ? 4T, 2T, any sugested models to look for ? Are there any schools in the UK that run courses that can teach me the basics of machine control, and…
