Introduce Yourself

OK I know that I am brand new to this site and I don't know any of you but I am still gonna ask for some help. OK here goes. I did a search for a book my father wrote back in 1976 and it lead me here. (Mick Andrews Book of Trials, By Thomas W Beesley) I know that it is alot to ask but would someone be willing to part with a copy of it? See my father was killed at a race track here in TX called Oak Hill in September of last year. I never knew he had writen a book until my Mom told me about it last week. I have been through all the books that my parents have collected over the years and didn't find a copy. (Mom later told me that he didn't have one, LOL) Look I am willing t…

Hello My names dan but everyone calls me dannymagic or magic, I'm 27 from Rotherham in South Yokshire, I ride a 1995 Yamaha TYZ on an M plate with the Barnsley Trial club. I've not ridden trials for about 10 years as I was concentrating on enduro but my Nephew has recently been bought a TY80 and a PW50 (spoilt I know ) so I bought a cheap bike to start riding with him and I've found I love it more than I ever did when I was a lad doing it, I used to be far too busy trying to ride my Majesty 200 or my Montesa 311 like a WR250 So the Yam is up for sale and I'm going to get something a little newer and see how I get on. I used to be almost competitive with the likes …

I'm also working on a 1968 El Tigre... its coming allong frame and motor is done but the bits and pieces are a little slow.... its about 90% complete... I love all the Bultacos.. But I hope to get into comp. with my Sherpa T... The only thing is I think I'm a little to heavy for it ....

Hi to all, Yes another aussie trying to relive his youth. Been many a year since on a bike and I have recently acquired a ty 250 mono to polish my trials skills with. I'm expecting the usual bumps and scrapes but hopefully nothing too serious. Hope to run across some of you at some events soon. Peter

Hello to everyone, I'm Rob, 34 yrs young, and just bought myself an 05 Gas Gas 280 about 2 months ago. I Had a Scorpa 250 about 6 years ago but not for long so i'm only really starting to learn to ride trials. I live in Darlington in North East England and ride at the trials club just outside Croft nr Darlington. Its a bit muddy at this time of year and with half of the riding area being on a big island in the middle of the river Tees its a bit dodgey getting over to it when the rivers in flood, but heres looking forward to the summer. Thats about it really, excellent forum by the way, enjoying reading stuff on here Cheers, Rob.

Just registered today as a trials central user. I am mostly interested in twinshock bikes as I have a 1985 Honda TLR 250 + a 1982 SWM TL 320. Any information about improvement modifications or parts for the Honda would be appreciated. Currently looking for mudguards, also interested in alloy swing arm Regards Steve.

Hi there my name is Dale, and I own a Fantic 305, I am new to trials, though not to offroad sport, as have ridden a few enduro's, many moons ago. I hope to have a go at competing in the near future, after learning some feet up skills, I am in the process of creating a website "though just a beginner at web design", dedicated to Fantic Aircooled Mono's, mainly the 305-245-125.5's, having found minimal information, anywhere else on the web, I'm wanting to include maintenance tips tricks, that sort of thing, if anybody as any exploded diagrams in Pdf format, that would me most helpfull, thanks for reading !!!!!

Morning guys. New to trials after a few years of Enduro riding. Picked up a old Beta rev3 and gave it some tlc to get it "current". Hope to pick up some pointers and get to know this balance thing. Here a before and after pic. See you guys in the forums

Hi to all, 3 months ago mentioned to the wife "would'nt a motorbike be handy for going to work rather than another car". When the reply came "yes, perfect and you could always use my car if you needed it", I had to clean up the kitchen where I had just spat my mug of coffee. Before a change of mind could be made, jeep sold, BSA C15 trials bought in UK and delivered to Ireland. I had the pleasure of working in a motorcycle shop during school/college which specialised in Brit parts, so have a bit of a background, but need a refresher course..Bit disappointed with the suspension of the bike but new oil in the front forks stopped the bottoming, and new Betor rear shocks order…

Hello, I'm Ben, i'm new to this website and also fairly new to the trials scene. I've recently purchased an '02 Montesa 315R and now starting to find my feet with it. Love the bike and the whole concept of trials riding. Hopefully will carry on building my confidence the way i am doing just now and become a much better / more tallented rider. Who knows maybe even get to the stage where i could compete one day!! As i am fairly new to trials riding any guidance that any of you may be able to give me along my way would be much appreciated. I am hoping to service and carry out work on the bike myself as i am quite good with hands on stuff like that and of coarse it is also …
