Introduce Yourself

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 …

Just a quick hello. I used to ride trails many moons ago. OSSA MAR, then a Green Gripper and finally a Majesty 320 from John Shirt in Buxton. Really enjoyed the time, 1973 onwards if I remember correctly, as a member of Manchester 17. First person who spoke to me at a trial at a small quarry on Hayfield Road between Chinley and Hayfield, was Dave Rowlands. Super chap and a gentleman, sadly no longer with us. If I recall, Dave Thorpe won the trail with a clean sheet. I struggled to get between the sections let alone get up any of them. Eventually I managed to get the hang of it, but after about 5 years, other interests intervened, and the Yam had to go due to wedding bel…

howdy! my names Deano, ive signed up mainly to try and get some answers about my poor running sherco 2.5 2003. I'll probably stick around though as this seems to be the best place ive found for trials forums.Cya later!

Hi new to trials, and I'm going out on my recently purchased Montesa 315R today for the first time, if I survive I'll carry on posting!! My first offer to the community is a link I came across, it's the Kickstart (remember it) 1983 Final with Peter Purves and Mick Andrews, I suppose this is what got me interested in trials years ago and finally 25 years on I've finally bought a bike, must be that 40's thing. 35 mins good quality and can download from google. 1983 Kickstart Final Also the originating site which has some excellent media trials footage. Good trials site for media footage. cheers, Mal PS. If links dont work here are the URL's. video.google.co.uk/video…

Hello,everyone just thought i would introduce myself having purchased a beta techno 98 lampkin replica doing my homework and research the forum is spot on thanks in advance to all who post. Colin

I bought a 1993 Beta Synt 260 off my friend just before this winter. After a good cleaning. I was learning off Brian (district 6 A champ) and Gale "Turtle" Petro (District 6 B Champion) before his sudden departure a few weeks ago. Here is the video from the Trials ride I went on with Brian and Gale, a lot of it was capturing them play riding on the helmet cam. Conditions, wet slippery leaves, over mud, over frozen ground. http://newoodsriders.com/videos/dirtrider/1sttrials.wmv I have been trail riding dirt bikes since I was 13 (now 45) I was introduced to Single track a few years ago and became addicted to it. Some of our sections are slow boulder climbing fi…

...and feeling like an excited kid all over again! Thoroughly enjoying my Scorpa. Looking to enter a trial, how do you decide what to enter, ie. Wobbler, Novice, Beginner? How do you find out where Trials are? I found the ACU East Midland events list, but they only state the club, not the location...!?!

Hi everyone, I'm new to trialing and just found this forum, looks like it should be useful. I had a CR 125 for a while but had been dabbling with a mates Sherco and decided I wanted one. Turns out a friend of a friend had a Beta and wanted an MX bike, long story short, I now have a Beta 250 which is 2 years newer than the Honda for a straight swap. I'm one happy bunny.
