General Trials Talk

Just being lucky enough to go and test out the new scorpa 4 tricks at Birkett motorsport, Broughton, for feature in next weeks TMX. Great little bike, had loads of fun on the thing and its got enough power for sit down wheelies so im happy! Ha. By the sounds of things they are taking it to hawkstone so check it out!!

One was out today At YG's Club trial at Shibden (No not the Challoner's). Was quite impressive although the front Mudguard needs lifting a bit.

While I was up in Wisconsin for the Hixton trials this past weekend, I was able to see a copy of the now world famous, Elkhorn Independent. It was a pleasant surprise to see Patrick had been featured on the front page, with Andy's catch-phrase headline banner and all. "America's Wonderkid!" It will please Andy to know that he got major credit with his website, (url address included) along with the 2 excellent color photographs. Now Andy's site is one of Grandma Smage's first stops for news on her globe-trotting grandson. Much thanks to the main-man (or as you guys say Top-Man) Andy who tirelessly runs this website. Cheers my friend.

When translating the Spanish todotrial website into English theres some quite funny errors. Horseradish Tree Hemmingway Horseradish Tree Nevis. No prizes for guessing what Horseradish Tree really is.

Here's a little vid of our last ride of the year 69 degrees on Dec 31 Hope you like it , 2 views , 1 helmet cam , other cam mounted on the stator cover

I'm after 2x front shocks for the mini trial. I cannot find them anywhere any pointers to where I could get these? Or do any other bikes use the same 32mm dia

I have just bought this bike and its really nice the only thing is that the fuel mixture??? He said 25 to 1 useing castrol TT does that sound ok????????? Does it really matter what 2 stroke oil you use he just said it runs best on Castrol TT??? Thanks Henry

hi, does anyone have any idea where i can get the above shocks rebuilt in the uk . they are sold as re-buildable but i,m at a loss trying to find someone to do the job for me .

Just thought this is interesting! http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=650588

I've a work trip to the Netherlands week of March 5th, and will be taking the van. Anyone know of any trials in Belgium or Holland on the 3/4th March, so could take a bike with me ? Twinshock friendly trial preferred, but not too fussy

I just bought one of these before I entered the Sandown trial outside belfast on 20th of March. It was a horrendous day, really windy and wet, but the jacket kept me dry and relatively draught free ( I say relatively cos it was windy enough to blow the visor clean off my helmet, I was bound to get a draught from somewhere. These jackets are made of a medium weight cordura so they are not too heavy, and look like they will take a lot of punishment. They have a mesh lining for comfort and two poppered pockets ( not very secure though...) and I found it had more than enough freedom of movement for riding the sections. I would even ride an enduro in this cos it's cut quite …

At the Classic Bike Show at Stafford today a trials talk and riding demo was given by Mick Andrews, Yrjo Vesterinen and Sammy Miller, Mick riding his James, Yrjo 250 and 340 works Bultaco's. Lots of advise and recollections from the three of them made for an interesting show which got even better when the show's guest of honour and trials fan Giacomo Agostini appeared and rode as passenger in the Bultaco outfit belonging to Bert White. Was he a good passenger Bert and will you have him in the chair at your next trial?

Looking at buying a new or slightly used bike, sounds like Sherco made some major changes in the last 2 years. Is this bike a good pick for a club rider? How does it compare with a 2019 gas gas txt 250 pro? Pricing is within 300$. Thanks

Hi everyone I'm hoping someone could help, does anyone happen to know the dimensions of the seals in the Grimeca rear caliper on a 2016 Beta Evo ? I've bought a new piston/seal kit and when fitting it pinched a seal 😞 and don't want to pay £45 for another kit just for the seals. Cheers

Anyone else see the trials show at reeth show, it was pretty damn good, the introduction part was a bit lengthy but the rest was really good. Graham Jarvis was there and so was John Sunter and there rivalry on the obstacles was probly the best bit to watch. Well done nice show guys and girls (Kathryn Wardle was there too) Rich aka Yamaha Dude

Looks like scoring the gymnastics at the Olympics is like scoring a world round What they need is professional judges

Lakes 2 Day Trial Regs are now available in the Trials Central Events Calendar section

Does anybody know how much oil per leg goes in , they are 33mm dia on a TL 125 R ,1985.(same as tlr 200 but 33 instead of 35.)?

Hi, Anyone know where I can get a good set (that actually stick) of tank/side panel stickers for a 1984 fantic 300? Please. You know the sort of s shape ones down the side. Thanks

Evening all, I have always wanted a little project but never get round to it. I would be looking for something that needs a bit of a tidy up and may be a little fettling. I fancy a nice orange fantic or ty mono. The tys pop up a lot of the time, your fantic 245,305's etc not so easy to find. Any body know of anything about? Also any body wanting to share their own experiences / views on projects they are doing / completed would be we one. Thanks
