Hi, Home is Pacific Northwest USA. Ride a Sherco 290 X-Ride on local single track off-road trails here. Have enjoyed trials since the 70's and owned a couple Sherpa T's then. Wish I had them now. Have been attending the area trials events this year and feeling I need to add a trials machine to the garage again. Art

I've been riding bikes for 40 yrs now so I thought it was about time to have a go at getting muddy. I picked up an old Fantic the wednesday before Christmas and entered my first trial on the 27th. Possibly a little under prepared, I managed two laps of 10 sections before retiring, exhausted, with a fairly respectable cricket score! Getting the bike up to speed will be a lot easier than doing the same with the rider, but Hey, someones got to be last.

Hello folks thinking of dipping my toes back into the gentle sport again no bike as yet but looking,maybe an air cooled mono,got no budget as yet. Cheers jb

My name is Al and I'm moving from Michigan to Hickory, N.C. in december, and would like to know where I can ride.

Hi Guys, Been signed up for over a year but not made a post, so thought I should say hi. I have just taken delivery of a Montesa 4RT, not new, but good enough for me to get back into the sport. I previously owned another Montesa, a 315R and used to compete in local clubman trials. Something I plan to do again with my new to me 4RT.

Hi everyone. I'm totally new to trials, and to fourms! . I just bought a 2007 rev 250 4-stroke. All I could afford at the moment. I'm just wondering where would be the best place to source parts? I can't seem to find anything on line. Every search seems to throw up parts for the 2504t RR )which I assume is a beta enduro bike)? Or the 2stroke trials, but not the 4stroke. I want to service it and do fork seals and replace a few bits etc. Thanks in advance Noel.

Thought I would be civil and say high to all..... Coming back into trials after about 20 years out of the saddle. Rode twin shocks in the 80's at schoolboy level for many years and now that my son wants to start (he's 17) it seemed an ideal excuse to get myself a bike! Looking forward to the chat etc....

Just bought myself a Fantic 240,never owned or ridden a trials bike,but have rode dirt for forty years.(I'm such a magnificent rider I have a total of seven whole trophies to show for my efforts ) I volunteer at a local state owned ORV park plus have several places to play and learn at,hopefully I'll enter an event later this year! Bought a Fantic because way back when I was a kid my family was briefly a Broncco dealer(Fantic trivia buffs will know about Broncco) so I always said when I got a trials bike it had to be a Fantic.

Hi all from Fife, thank you for allowing me to join your forum if I can help anybody with anything please ask.

Hi all, Dave here I'm based in Yorkshire and still trying to make the switch from Tarmac to mud, not easy!

Hi there folks, new to the forum and joined cos my two youngsters have recently started riding. We have a TY80 at the moment and a second one on its way shortly. Years since I was on a trials bike but now looking at getting one to join the kids in all the fun. May well be asking advice on the bikes and the Yorkshire trials scene. Well I will start now with a question, has anyone out there done a TY80 big wheel conversion. The standard 14"/16" are fine for the 10 year old but I am looking to some larger (16"/19") wheels to fit to the second bike for the 12 year old. I have read that the 32 spoke rims make things difficult. Cheers John.

Hi All, I've recently moved to Northamptonshire. I've always wanted to start riding but it's now I have weekends free. Anyone else around Oxford/Northampton know of anywhere suitable for a beginner? I'm looking to get a bike, what would be the best for a newbie, 6ft and 95kgs, I have a budget of around
