Hi, I'm returning to the sport after many years (another mid-life crisis, maybe!) and I'm trying to reach some like-minded, as well as like-mounted, folks in central Bulgaria. (Enduro & motocross bikes are the most popular) Hopefully have a social scene, get out in the fantastic countryside here, as well as lay out some sections for some competition... well, at least to test ourselves a bit!

Hi everyone, I am a lifelong biker but recent newcomer to trials riding. I haven't done a event yet but been out and watched the local club in action and found a nice crowd.Still practicing at home and starting to get to grips with the techniques especially balance .Hope I am not too late in life to start this hobby in my late 50s. I have been browsing the forum here at TC and found it very useful.Oh yes , I have a 2005 Sherco 250.

Recently picked up a post deployment present for myself, 2009 Gas Gas 300 TXT as my first trials bike. Wife appreciates the slow riding for now working on skills in the yard compared to the zipping around on the KTM 200.😃

Hello everyone this is my first post here but ive been riding trail and enduro bikes for a few years. I recently did a top end rebuild on a mates Beat and after riding it around the garden decided that trials was in fact, very cool. SO i rushed out and Ive just bought an old (1991) Aprilia climber 280 trials bike to knock about on during the winter while I save for a 2005/2006 YZ or CR 125 to do enduros on next year. But sadly, the plan did not go to plan!!!! Full details here lol = http://www.trailbikemag.com/forum/viewtopi...p?p=81996#81996]Clicky click://http://www.trailbikemag.com/forum/v...a>]Clicky click

Hello world ! As I'm registering on this web, I see there is a "introduce yourself", so here we go. I'm 34 years old male living in Iceland. Some of my friends have started riding Trial bikes, most of them riding Gas Gas Txt 250-300 bikes, and now I have bought myself a new Gas Gas Txt 300 bike. I have only ridden it for about 50 meters so far, so everything about trial bikes is really new to me. I look forward to start riding, and will probably post some pictures on this web etc. as time goes by. Chao //Hannes

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 All, I'm an old (70)motorcyclist, still riding my CX650 on a daily basis. Many years ago, about 1959 I started a Motorcycle apprenticeship with an Auckland (NZ) matchless dealership John Dale Ltd. ,by name. App. 1960 or there abouts we Had an englishman by the name of Bob Gollner who was a keen trials rider working with us as mechanic. I remember Bob built a "special" while there and used a Villiers motor to power it He was also a very good trials rider.. Reading Classic Motorcycle and your pages I note the same name frequently being mentioned as building trials bikes and owning a motorcycle co by the name of Cheetah motorcycles. Is "my Bob" the same guy. Th…

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!

I'm trying to re-build an Aprilia Climber 240cc from a load of bits I bought off ebay. Why? I hear you cry! In truth I'm not really sure, it started off as a project when I bought the frame. Me and my son were going to make it into something together. Then I got hold of the original engine, and now I'm kinda hooked on trying to get it back to an original state. Fact is, I'm several bits missing, and spares for this beast are expensive. For one, the coil is missing. A new one is
