Morning guys, I have been trying to register my original name John.B as a trials central supporter but the system refuses to allow the name as it has a full stop in it . I have therefore registered a new name scudo and paid my due fees to the site. I will continue to post as John.B but pay my subscription as scudo. Hope this is ok Andy and does nt' break any rules, just wanted to pay my

Just saying hello. I recently changed from a Montesa 4RT to a Scorpa SY250. Loved riding the 4RT but amin love with the Scorpa. (Apart from the fiddly tank bolts that need removed to change the plug)

Hello, my name is Staff and I have recently purchased a basket case tl125, I have ridden lots of bikes and owned a fair few in the past but I still have fond memories of my early teenage years riding my mates TL in the local forest. When I got it home I put the engine in the frame and fired it up it didn't sound to bad with no sign of burning oil, however when I drained the oil two teeth came out Which I found after stripping the engine came from the kickstart gear. I have since rebuilt the engine with new parts, however on inspection I have found that the inlet and exhaust valves need replacing and this is where my problem lies. It appears that the original one part cyli…

Hi all just found this forum i'm totally new to trials. Used to do pushbike trials a couple of years ago but gave that up and have now decided to give this a go. Just bought a second hand gas gas 280cc 2001 model so look forward to chatting and learning. Had the bike a week so far and i'm loving it though i have had a off into a tree as my rear brake is none existant! hopefully get this fixed very soon.

Just been given an Ossa 250 MAR to do some jobs on for a pal of mine. Looking forward to this project and am sure will have a ton of question so will apologise in advance for being a pest 🤣

Hi people this is my first attemtmpt at this .I am building a 175 bantam to be used for trails can any one tell me if i can use ty175 yokes and how to make them fit into the standard frame Thanks

Hi folks My names Vic, I'm from County Down in Northern Ireland. Thought i'd sign up here, see whats happening and seek help when needed. I've had my Fantic for over 20 years. Its a 212cc (I believe its the 241 model.) Its always been a trusty workhorse, providing many hours of entertainment and a LOT of abuse! Thanks Vic.

Just joined and would like to have a chat with those interested in 70's Bultaco Sherp T's. At present I have 4 of them ranging from 1972 to 79 and all quit different. Who knows what they are talking about when it comes to the different models in this era. I am based near London in the UK and normally do not have the information at hand when it comes to identify problems and spares availability. Dave Rainham is very good, but I do not like pestering him too much, he has a business to run and not woffle with a geek like me ! Also, want to get hold of a 1975 model. Any thoughts let me know.

Hello, Been riding enduro for a couple years and thought I would give trials a chance. Found a cheap 2001 TXT near me and am loving after first ride. I'm interested mainly in practice, learning fundamentals, etc.b it I can see myself competing in a trials competition at some point this summer. Appreciate all the knowledge if gleaned from the forum already. Thanks!

Just purchased Montesa Cota 200 with engine/frame number 29M02572. I'd appreciate any help in finding out year of manufacture and what the actual numbers/letter(s) mean. Many thanks in advance.

Just got a GasGas (used) to play on. Will need lots of help with both how to ride it and how to fix it. It's gonna need some work. Right now trying to get the clutch reworked. Can't get the stink'n little bolts out of the clutch basket to take it apart. Wonderful! They are soo tight and the wrench is so little. I think the heads are stripping out, might have to drill them out. Wish I could ride it instead of working on it.

I am very happy with my new Bultaco sherpa t 350. I start to enjoy it. Oldies but goldies!! Yeahhh !!

Hello Trials forum: I just signed up. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I would call myself an eccentric collector of a little of everything... In the dirt on 2 wheels I currently have: 1) an '72 Ossa MAR 250 that I found in a guy's shed. It is pretty complete. The fenders had been sawn off for some reason and it had no spark. I put a new ignition in it and just because ordered the one with lighting output. The bike has no lighting on it now and I want to install just because... Are wiring harnesses available as well as lighting hardware? WHat should I do for a voltage regulator. I would go with original/replica preferably. 2) The rest of my off road tw…
