do bar ends fit most/all bars?

Should the tops of the forks be flush with the top triple clamp, or should the forks come out a bit, maybe a quarter inch or so?

Happy new year to TC members in Newzealand

Hi does anyone know if the lancs county club has held a trial recently, i have looked on results but they only show up to last year and i have tried to get in touch with the club by email but dont get a reply 😐

Maybe its the "wrong" place to ask this question, but anyone know of good trials shops or clubs in Milan Italy? On holiday with wife and when she goes shopping for shoes I want to have something more constructive (shopping) to do, like checking out the Italian way of doing trials. So any ideas guys?

I would like to say a massive thankyou to Mike coat and the team at Waterside trials club for the effort that you put in to building the trials demo sections. we showed that there is more to trials than just keeping your feet up with an outstanding display how to collect maximum points on most of the sections! and thanks to Steve Saunders who made it all look so easy. If anyones got some pics lets have a look.

I have seen a few potential project bikes to purchase that could need new mains/piston etc. Who does crank work/rebores ect in northwest?

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…

does anyone know where i can get some plastic moulding done poss in the north west of uk

Bonjour mes amis. Is there any French trials riders near to Royan or in the Dordogne?

Hi I’ve just bought a 2001 315 it looks like it has had very little use ,I was going over it and on removing the carb there is what looks like a restrictor plate in the manifold with what looks like a 20mm hole in it ,is this standard? As It is not shown in the parts catalogue, thanks for your help.

Well Sunday was the very first time I witnessed a trial. Courtesy of 'sammyj' I popped along to an event that was being held just ouside of Monmouth. I took my 5 year old son along and he loved it also...though I think he enjoyed 'shooting' the bikes with his StormTrooper gun that he took with him more than anything. Although he did say that he wanted one of each colour of bike...needless to say, he's going to be dissapointed. This was the first trial I've seen and I was very impressed with the atmosphere. Lots of riders falling off and having a good laugh about it made for a very relaxing enjoyable visit. I'm glad I took tea though 'cause it was a bit chilly shaded f…

Is there any reasonably priced 80cc bikes out there

So, I did Novice but would like to do amateur next time. I feel that would be my challenge there. Anyhow, the issue I am running into with RMTA is they are on Sat and Sun. To me it felt like more like a competitve supportive practice event, which I think why I fell in love with it. Sat and Sun are tough for me due to work, so wondering if there is another competition/event that holds on weekdays? or psosibly large get-together for all skill levels?

Anyone know of video coverage for the 2011 TDN?
