    awesome site, thanks for all the excellent info i've acquired already. Most of what i know about trials riding, I've picked up at the local BSA club events. I rode a little in my 20's on a slightly modified Bultaco Alpina, but gave it up when we were short of cash. I recently picked up a TY175, and a huge pile of parts that should make 1 halfway decent TY250. Whichever I'm most comfortable with will become my next vintage trials machine. By the looks of it, the trials community is gigantic in Europe. I'm a little jealous. Nevertheless, I'm pretty excited about the new bikes, and the chance to have some fun with all the other old guys.

    Greetings all, I've been lurking and realized I hadn't said hello so here goes. I'm John French and live in NC USA, I've been riding trials since about 1990 (I'm 61) and currently have about 5 or 6 (or 7) trials bikes. My modern bike is a 2016 Montesa 4RT 260 and in order of next oldest they are 1985 RTl250 Honda, 1980 199A Bultaco, 1977 Ty250D Yam, 1975 Tl125 Honda, 1966 Triumph Cub and a '61 G3C Matchless. G3C is too nice to ride in dirt so I had to buy another that I can crash in a section and not cry too much. It's still very much a project so it will be a while before that one sees a trial. I have my own small shop so I can do most tasks myself. I'…

    Hello folks, I have Barged in using My Son's registration details. Yesterday I "Registered", or thought I had. The System aknowledged my registration---- E Mail address, log in name and password. No acknowledgement has reached my E Mail adress. I tried to log in tonight using said User Name and password. However , No Go! Message reads--- "This E Mail address is already in use" or words to that effect. So a second attempt at registering has been futile. No. 1 Son has not used My address, so that aint the prob! Sorry to use this method of communication but I couldn,t see any other way. Thinking back I always used to get lost in Sections, so getting lost in a Pute…

    New guy from British Columbia Canada. I have been OBSESSED with trials motorcycles since unknowingly "trying" one last X-mas. I was immediately HOOKED and began scouring for a nice used bike. One year, HUNDREDS of hours riding and 3 bikes later I am still in LOVE and ride a 2010 GG 280. I live in Burnaby B.C. and ride A LOT at Ioco, Cowichan Valley, Southern Okanagan and whenever I can up at Pemberton. I prefer long technical trail riding, mountains, back country and getting out into the middle of nowhere in small groups but also very much enjoy observed and practiced riding also. Seems here in BC we have such a HUGE diversity and availability of outstanding terrain.…

    Hi folks I'm an old fogey who should probably know better, but I'd like to have a go at trials. I've been attending meetings in Kent, Sussex, Somerset and Devon sporadically for years just to watch, and have always found the sport fascinating - but I've never had a go. Is there any way to try it out first to see if you like it, before spending on a bike/trailer etc? A 'trials school' or similar? I'm in the UK, in Burnham-on-Sea, on the Somerset coast. TIA Barry
