Did you guys see that 75 TY250 on e-bay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2454626310 I haven't seen one that looks like that since I bought mine brand new in 1975. Wonder where he's been hiding it? It's over $1200 now. I paid $700 for mine in 75. How high do you think it will it go? There's still 10 days left!

Last night I observed at an evening trial outside Highworth, had a great time as did the 32 riders at the event. It was a mate of mine sons first event and he enjoyed it but found it a little tough. With a bit more practice he will be fine. Seriously wetted my appetite to get back into it. Fingers crossed the E.A give me a job next week so the sacrifice of being a mature student pays off. It was the Swindon clubs event and Gary and Keith and the rest put together an interesting course. Really enjoyed myself.

MotorsTV have announced they are moving to Channel 71 on the Freeview Platform. This is a Transmitted channel not the IPTV it was on on channel 240. You will need to retune to pick it up and although it will Transmit 24 hours initially it will go to 20:00-05:00 weekdays and 24 hours on Weekends. Trials is a winner as they transmit Highlights! Looks like you need a HD Freeview TV or Box as well. They seem to be using Spare capacity on the HD Multiplex.

Does anyone know where you can get the plastic screws, which hold down the peak, from?? One of mine is broken and would like to get a new one so it looks a bit better! thanks

Hi, fancied a go at trials but wondered if there were any practice grounds near Evesham , Worcestershire, just to practice the basics initially thanks

Hello everyone. I bought a pitbike recently and thinking to set up on it 14"/17" wheels instead of 12"/14". And i have an idea put trials tire on rear rim to increase traction. But i cant find any 14" trials tires in Google. I was wondering - maybe something from 50cc trials bikes will fit? ...just found specification of GasGas 50cc - rear wheel 14" and Michelin tire on it. Anybody know where i could order it? Thanks.

hi all, Im currently building a bsa b25 motorcross bike along side my bantam trials bike and was wondering what front fork set up i should go for I am after keeping the speedo and lights etc etc as i will need it for onroad too ( i could make a bracket for the speedo), I also am on a very tight budget and cant afford anything too expensive. Can anyone recomend a cheap set up, it wont be getting pummled very often (offroaded) as unfortunately i need to keep it for everyday use aswell, I was think perhaps ally forks?? Something that will get me up to a 21'' wheel on the front would be nice ( do i need a 21'' for motorcross?) and can fit ally mudguards too?? Can anyone…

I am in the process of building a bantam trials and would like to fit a Drayton tear drop shaped tank does anyone have one they want to sell cheers

I was talking to a buddy about bikes who was complaining about how hard it was to get parts for some of the older machines, I was amazed to discover he'd never heard of Bike Bandit. So I got to wondering if there were others who hadn't. They have full parts schematics and OEM and after market parts for just about any Japanese bike you can imagine. I've been able to get parts for my 85 Sabre, an 85 Honda ATV and my 74 Yamaha TY250. So far I've never found anything they haven't had. You might try them. http://bikebandit.com

I am in the market for new bars and am wondering which way to go. I have a 03 Sherco 2.0 with the stock Domino bars. I have read other posts about modifying Sherco top clamps to accept the 1 1/8 tapered Tag and Hebo bars. I like the idea of the larger/stronger tapered bars, and have access to a great machinist . But I am not sure of the differences in the bends of the different brands of bars. The stock bend seems fine to me but who knows I may like something else even more. I am 5'8". Thanks for you suggestions. JimmyK

This might come in handy. Good to keep it bookmarked. Check the #'s on the left and scroll down to the 7000's if you're using BP5ES. Sparkplug cross reference

Our friends at Rhode Island Trials Club have stepped up to put in the huge effort required to host the World Rounds / Wagner Cup for the FIM and AMA this coming July We ask for your support be it by pre-ordering tickets, volunteering, or helping to raise sponsorship funds. The projected cost is about 18x the amount of money the club has in its bank account. That being said, it will be a triumphant return of the sport's best and bravest athletes, it will be in a location with breathtaking terrain, and it will have incredible camping and paddock action. Two of the sections will be ADA accessible. Parking is free. There is also a trials ride available…

I'm thinking of trying one of these - any reviews?

Heading down to Spain (costa del azahar) around Valencia for a holiday and going to take the bikes. Just wondered if anybody has any suggestions or recommendations on where to ride

Hello everyone, I managed to get out on my bike yesterday for the first time after it's been back from the shop getting work done on it and I've found something that's really doing my head in lol, the clutch only bites literally a mm or 2 from when the lever is fully out, does anybody know how I can adjust it so the clutch bites when the lever is about half way out? It's just had a clutch master cylinder rebuild if that's anything to do with it i don't know.
