Trials Uk in Horsforth, Leeds have again been subject to low life, helping themselves to the stock. 2 bikes were Stolen, 2009 Sherco 250 frame No. VNBS125TR8A020455. The other is a 2010 Beta 250 frame No. ZD3T60100A0200872. Please keep any eye out for these. It's not uncommon for Thieves to plan robberies from as far away as Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle etc. So please be vigilant Nationwide for these bikes. Nige has got a

Hey guys, I need some advice. Im 16 and am riding a 2001 rev 3 250 but I am looking to upgrade to the likes of a 2008 rev 3, I really want a 125 because it is said that the 125 makes you work the bike but others say that I will probably want a 250 in about a year due to aparent lack of power and me and the old man cannot afford to change bikes every year so I need a bike that I wont want to replace within a couple of years. Preferably I would like to stick with Beta as we know the dealer and he is such a great guy. would also consider an 09 evo but im unsure on the 125/250 thing so any advice would be awesome. Cheers Brad.

Hi there, I have just had a crash out in the paddock in which i tried to go up a bank with nearly no run up (bank is vertical) and the bike got up the top and managed to do a flip while I watched from to bottom, when i picked it up everthing in the front end seemed bent or out of place so i came back to the garage and loosened all the triple clamp bolts and axle pinch bolts and wigled it around and it made no difference so i kept it all loose and took the mudgaurd and brake caliper off and then proceeded to take the front wheel out and it took a lot more effort than normal to get the axle out but it eventually gave in and out came the front wheel aswell, then i slowly t…

had a good off today, managed to tear the ligaments in my shoulder........ wasnt anything major, just lost the back end on a slow turn up a hill and when i went to take a dab, there was no ground beneath my foot....... inevitably i went over and came down over the bike down hill landing on my shoulder... i felt/heard a quite loud crack and was convinced i had fractured it (again)... after a few minutes of cold sweats and cursed words i got my mate to get my bike on level groung so i could ride it back to the car... went the hozzy and had an xray and thankfully its not broken/fractured... but, the ligamants and muscle are torn... i can tell you, ive had a fair few s…

Thinking of getting some tickets for Sheffield on 7th January, yes I know its late but tickets are still available. I've never been before so don't know were the best seats that are still available are ! is there anywhere I should avoid ?

Hi there , I am looking for route markers for setting out trials routes. Trying to get some trials competitions up in Shetland. We have quite a few folk with bikes but no formal club as yet. Trying to get a a couple of small events going to try to get interest up in competition. I have the flags type but I am looking at where I can get the coloured plastic that can be layed on rock and held in place with a stone etc. can anyone suggest where i can source this type of markers.

Hi, im looking at getting a bike, im after a 250ish size bike and would just like some advice, I like the look of the Vertigo but would like to hear what you lot think is a good choice Thanks

..some advertising on this site. Good luck Andy and may you become wealthy from your endevours (not likely in this sport).

I dont keep the fact that I am a Beta fan any kind of a secret. I also dont make a habit of running other brands down. Basically I could care less what anybody thinks of what bike I ride or what they ride. With that being said I have noticed something interesting in my area of the world with my fellow riders. People have been asking me what I will switch to when the 4 strokes take over. They immediatly go on to explain that Betas 4 will be crap and I will not be happy with one. I have to admitt that I have not heard many details on the Beta 4 and they dont have the resources of Honda and Yamaha. However, Beta is a quality company that is rather diverse. For someone to …

Heres a good one for you...and I couldn't feel angry at my local dealer 'cause he's a really nice bloke. I asked him to get me some new soles for my Sidi boots...(i know for DEFINATE that they are available...even seen them in a factory catalogue from SIDI). Anyway...with a smile on his face he said...If I sell those, no-one will buy any more boots from me. GOOD POINT I said. ANd believe me..the uppers of SIDIS DO last for ever ..they are brilliant. SO>....my question is. DOes ANYBODY sell the Sidi soles????.........'cause I'd still really like to buy some!!!!

I am about to start juggling suspension setting's etc. on my sons new Sherco 80. I will probably end up making more changes at once than I should, and have to retrace my steps to get back to a reasonable point along the way, but heck, it is all for fun anyway. So, thinking aloud,, If I raise (have more fork sticking out the top towards the handlebar) the forks in the triple trees, this will make it steer tighter, and the front end feel heavier and less likely to wheelie. It will also lower seat height and skid pan height. Roll the bars back, it turns slower, is more stable, maybe a bit easier to wheelie??? Roll the bars forward, quicker steering more weight on the f…
