Which trials bike do you think was the best bike of its time as in was it really revolutionary; the introduction of the monoshock, first 2 stroke, the first chasis less bike? Whatever your reason which one and why? Obviosuly owning one i think it was the 1984 Yamaha ty250 with the first mono-shock, but hopefuly your not all as selfish as me!!! Rich

The trials central trial on the 30th of May, is just before the majority of my final GCSE exams. I will not be allowed to ride tthe event, because I will be 'revising'! Did the organisers of the trials realise that such a clash was apparent, and our there any other 16 year olds out there about to take their GCSE's that also cannot ride the trials? Sorry just wondering thats all cheers from olly

hi do i need a new tryre becouse of this?

I'm thinking about replacing my Bieffe helmet. Hung it on the bars at the last meet, and the bike fell over. You guessed it...helmet got sandwiched between a rock and the bars. Has a nice deep gouge in the outside of the helmet and a neat circle and a gouge in the foam inside from the bar end and the clutch lever. Sure saved the bars though! So I'm thinking it's time to replace the lid. Had a Shoei first. Heavy and hot! Then I had an NZI before the Bieffe. Didn't like the NZI, cheap buckles that started rusting right away and the interior material fell apart in a hurry. Both the NZI and the Bieffe pinch the tops of my ears. Doesn't help that I wear glasses. …

Anybody got any ideas on how to get enough observers at trials, because at the trials we attened they have a lack of observers especially at the youth trials. My son is to young to go round the trial by himself so what i do is take my wife and my daughter to observe and i help to set the trials out, clear up afterwards and be a comitee member. It always seems to be the same people observig week after week when there is plenty of other parents who just turn up and watch.

The countdown has begun! The ringojet arrives in Minnesota on Friday and will not depart until Monday. Tours of the jet offered to females only. The team will be in full force [Ringo, Maximum, IronMan, Skull headed mother F***er, & the Godfather] Lock up your wifes but be sure to bring your daughters The only question is how many of you Canadian's think you'll be able to hang with Da Boys on Friday night? Of course I'll have to be somewhat mellow comparatively as the obsticles in a world round are slightly harder than what we're used to competing on over here. I've had plenty of practice on the Big Stuff since I've moved closer to Lucerne so I think I'll be …

Hi guys, i have been given the ultimate incentive for my exams, if i pass them all my dad buys me a brand new 2005 bike of my choice and a trailer to go with it, im looking into a Sherco, but my fear is that the old man goes all out, buys me the bike and the main bearings go!!! if i bought the bike brand new and asked the company to fit new bearings in it before the bike is even trialed how much do you reckon it would cost??? Is there anything else i would need to watch out for on them??? Cheers Guys Chris

Quiet around here. Think that the Scottish was on or something.

What is the power output of a 2001 Gasser TXT249? It may determine which bike test I need to take, 125 or direct access. Cheers in advance.

I'm looking for information on trials sidecars. I'm primarily interested in later twin shock outfit designs but it doesn't seem they've changed much over the years, so I'm also interested in finding out more about the modern ones. Specifically, I'm looking for dimensions, geometry and the such for building my own. I wouldn't mind buying one, but the chances of finding one near me (Eastern US) are slim, and my goal is to make several so that I have some competition after I make my own. I'll most likely be putting this on a Montesa 348 and using it in USCRA vintage competitions. But I'd like to make something as modern as possible that still fits the rules. USCRA has essen…
