Hello, my name is connor, 21 years old from essex. Just been introduced to trials and i love it, so bought myself one... A suzuki RL250 beamish It was the 1st trials bike i rode, and i love the old twinshocks. I've been practicing on it at a local pit (Raydon) and have decided to sort my ACU license and start trailing in the new year so gives me time to sort a few things out on it. I have also purchased a sidecar outfit to go with it, which needs restoring, but it will keep me entertained in the winter. Only bought it as it was local and i think it will be a laugh, not sure i will trial with it but you never know. Quick mock up.. Anyways thats me and my bi…

Hi all. Just a quick message to introduce myself. I'm looking to return to trials after a 30-year break (I started as a child). I've been racing enduro and green-laning in the UK for the past 7 years or so, but as green-laning is 'verboten' here in Germany, and enduros are very thin on the ground in Bavaria, I thought I'd give trials another go. After all, it's probably a good idea that I learn to ride a motorbike 'properly' after all these years! I've still to buy a bike, but have managed to find a couple of trials parks / clubs in the area. If anyone on here is local to me please do feel free to get in touch. Looking forward to enjoying a bit of banter on here..... …

Hello, my name is Josh! I made a profile because I've been riding Trials for around 4yrs now, and I'm thinking a trip to Spain would be a lot of fun. Any one from America go ride Trials in Spain?

Howdy! I'm Mike from Tampa. I was a member of the Florida Trials Association in the 70's, in the time of Curly Goforth and Brock Sattelmeier, and rode with my friend Thom Tysl (Suzuki RL250). We rode usually at Gran Canyon in Brooksville ( which became a Disc Golf course later, and is now someone's investment property), on my (later) repainted, tricked-out but still hugely heavy home-welded slanted-shock Marland Whaley-replica Honda TL 250, joined the Air Force, rode some in the Omaha, Nebraska area on a (then new, and fondly remembered) Bultaco Sherpa T 350, got posted to England, and lost access to trials riding from there on out. But I still have a fondness for …

Hi all Used to ride in the Eastern Centre and South Midland Centres in the early 70's Belonged to Chelmsford & dist. North East London & Barnet & dist MCC's Started out with a 1966 Greeves Anglian, then saw what Don DR Smith could do with his Works Montesa Cota 247 so had to have one of them, along came a MK2 which was followed by a Mk 3 a couple of years later. I never improved above Novice but still had fun riding against the likes of Don Smith, John Banks (when he wasn't moto-xing) Simon Wigg and i remember doing the Isle of Wight 2 day trial with Sammy Miller. House purchase curtailed my hobbie but when i saw this advertised locally i'm afraid ive been…

Hello, I'm new. I'm in the northwest and looking to get into trials riding, maybe by going halves with my brother. I've been riding road bikes for a number of years but reckon this would be great fun and give me skills I'm not likely to learn on the local road. I'd go and visit tricks in the sticks for a taster if it wasn't so far away, so if anyone wants to give me a taster in the northwest then let me know.
