Introduce Yourself

I've joined the forum because it seems like a good place to learn from folks who know much, much more than I do! I'm a retired teacher who has been riding on roads and trails from more than 40 years, but has never been on a trials bike. Now seems like a good time to correct that oversight, especially since I live in an area with lots of places that look perfect for trials riding (southern Illinois, in the Shawnee National Forest). I'm looking forward to reading and learning. Thanks!

Hi, back in the seventy's someone retuned TY250A with a 30mm carby and added extra weight to the flywheel, can anyone remember the carburator and jetting as I'm rebuilding mine. regards

Hello everyone, I am a 52 year old (but still 18 in my mind), I own and run a hotel on a nature reserve in Southern Spain, I have an adventure license so also operate a quad tour company and multi activities in the area (kayaking, walking, paracending etc etc) I have just purchased a 280 Gasgas (I have not owned a trials bike for 20 odd years), I have bought it because there are some great tracks that I use for the quad tours and some days I can use the gas gas for guiding instead. I purchased the Gasgas as a non runner, have now got it running but have a few small problems which I have mentioned elsewhere on the site. Any interesting info on the 280 would be appreciat…

Been obsessive compulsively riding trials since '07, 4 Betas and currently Loving the '10 Gas Gas 300 to bits later. Some of the local talent Brent Le Riche in Lesotho below.

hi need some more wassell/sashs advice etc.

Hi there, I have just recently bought a Triumph Tiger cub trials and when I got to the seller's place, he had a Dalesman 125 sitting in the corner. Really liked it so I brought it home. He said that it had been sitting a while. Changed the fuel and plug but can't get her to go. There is a bit of a spark. Any one got any ideas. How do you get the flywheel off. Scary!

Hi All Returning to trials after 20 odd years and I'm still no good! But the atmosphere seems much friendlier these days and with plenty of wobblers routes around now, I'm hoping to beat the odd 8 year old....

Hi can you help? I have just brought a Armstrong 250 with a Hiro sammy miller engine and i need some parts. I have tried the web but with no joy. Martin

Hello. Just about to make a return to Trials after a Thirteen year layoff. Hoping to have fun on a 125 Scorpa that I have just bought

Up here in the cold, wet, muddy north east UK. Been trying to trials for a few months now. Having great fun and aspire to not break anything.

Hi Chaps. My name is Paul, I live in Sussex. I've been following the sport on and off for many years (Rathmell vs Lampkin at school) and now find myself in a position to participate. I will be entering my first trial next w/e. A friend from work has kindly offered me the loan of a bike for a begginers comp. at Golding barn, can't wait! I'll be looking for my own bike and will put a post in the general section regarding machine choice. Paul.

I found this site a couple of weeks ago after i purchased my first trials bike. Having owned road bikes for a few years, i decided to see what this trials malarky was like and i have got to admit i am totally addicted. I have found this site very helpfull and has a wealth of information for a novice like me, so thanks and keep up the good work guys

Howdy yall! Just saying hello. Having ridden road bikes for 35 years and had a short but furious foray into road racing I'm now posting on the website of what I'm finding to be a completely addictive motorsport! Having wrestled with a Sherco 320 as my first trials bike last Summer, (mistake number 1!) I've just bought what everyone says is a more gentlemanly 250 Evo. Time will tell. I've searched these pages and found a wealth of info and thought it was about time I registered. I intend to attempt to hone my near non-existant skills this Spring and Summer and am looking for all you lot to help me. I'll keep scouring the forums for tips and advice and will no doubt post …

Hi all. I just picked up a Yamaha TY250 today. I plan to restore it to factory specs and eventually take it racing. I'm from the state of Rhode Island, USA.
