Introduce Yourself

Howdy, Thought I pop a quick post up here in the meet and greet area !!! My name is Mike, a long time rider... born and raised here in Colorado. I have some very limited trials experience with a couple prior bikes (Bultaco Alpina, Yamaha TY-250). I just picked up a new to me 1980 Bultaco Sherpa 350 199a. Not going to jump on any competitions out of the gate, just go bumping around in the mountains with my buddy on his Yamaha TY350 !!! Here's a link to my restore on my Sherpa... enjoy !!! 1980 Bultaco Sherpa 350 199a

Hi To All, Bought myself a Beta Rev3, a while back and have been slowly rebuilding back to a decent standard, got a problem though, sent the Barrel and Piston off to JETBORE in April, not received it back, just a whole load of excuses, Lost in Post, i have been off with a bad back, try phoning them and e-mailing them, no answer, suprise suprise.....Now bought a full top end off this great website, from a top bloke, George in Ayshire... So hopefully will be out on it next week, Can't wait, was wondering if anyone else has had a problem with JETBORE... If you have'nt beware, don't send them your hard earned cash, you may be let down badly. On a brighter note, the Beta is…

Hi guys. Been riding offroad bikes here in South Africa for a while, started getting into enduros very recently. I always wanted a Trials bike and decided to get one to hone my skills for my enduro riding. Bought myself a 2003 Beta Rev3. What a great machine. I might actually drop the enduro and compete in Trials one day. When I got the Beta, I did what i always did when i buy a secondhand bike and stripped it, checked everything out and re-assembled it. Nothing really to fix. Guess it's true that these bikes last very long. Took it for my first ride quickly (Did not kit up so i took it easy) at a small rocky hill behind where i stay just to get a feel for the bi…

Hi just signed up to this site,I have just sold my 1976 Ossa MAR 350,and I have just purchased a 1975/6.

Hi, Just picked up a 2004 Scorpa TYS125F, which I plan to use to improve my offroad skills. This looks like the best website for info on the bike, so here I am. ? Cheers

I started riding trials bikes 30 years ago and then went on to moto-x and enduro's and now I'm looking to get back into trials.I'm looking for a trials bike now second hand.One question would a 280 Gas Gas 2004 be to much bike for me start out on again or should i stick with a 250.I had a KTM 300exc and could handle it but was quicker on a tamer Honda XR 400.Thanks and hello

I broke the bottom of the lower fork on my Montesa rebuild. ChatGPT told me to hammer down....the forks come up.... I should have realized but didn't. I heard about welding but I think here in Alberta, CA it would be very expensive and no warranty or guarantee. I see exact parts on ebay in the US that look almost new. They look too good to be true but I assume I could rebuild the forks with new seals... Or is it best to try to get an entire fork - upper and lower? The old shocks seemed to be functional 25 years later. Any recommendations would be great.

hi just a new member & thought i,d post a pic of my skoot i bought in the autumn , it needed a bit of work but only needs a brake cable to put it back on the road now cheers peter

Hi all. I really want to get involved in trials. I come from several years of racing cross country ATV's and arenacross. Got burned out, Switched to woods riding a KTM 300exc, and loved that, but got out due to the purchase of a new home. Recently got into dual sport riding on my Honda XR650l. I recently shed some weight that needed gone, and am trying to get back into shape. Technical riding always kept weight off before, and I think trials is my answer. My questions begin with I am 6'2" and dropped from 292lb to 250lb, and plan to lose more. Will my current size/ weight cause me any issues with a trials bike? Is there certain ones that are better for bigger guys like m…

Hello, I enjoy anything motorcycle related but trials is my passion. Twin shock and Pre 65 trials machines are what I would like to concentrate on most. I have ridden in club events at clubman level (on my trusty old TY250) but that was good few years ago, so I'm not currently in any clubs and would like to get a couple of well fettled bikes up and ready before joining. I really enjoy making/fabricating as much of a bike as I can, so do a lot of the people on this forum from what I have been reading, so I'm hoping to get/exchange some good information on here. Regards No balance.

Just thought i would say hi am a complete noob to trials, recently bought a bike to play on to see what its all about. Have ridden motocross years ago (wasn't good at that)

Hello, Just got Bultaco M27 I've known for 37 years. Frame No. B 4901437 - can't find engine No. It was put in an open front shed in 1980 after bad starting from hot discouraged the owner. Taken me since then to persuade him to part with it! Its all there except the front exhaust and clamp. The aim is to restore to "oily rag plus" as it only did 117 miles since previous rebuild to road use. One question: do I need to approach a club to help with retreiving original plate WPC 991F and if so who? Best regards to all Uberskunk

My background is racing sidecars on tarmac during to late 80s early 90s Road bikes since 79 Too old to get into racing crouch any more so CCMR30 more my style and body shape ie fat (ish) Would like to get my boys into trials, and get my broken excuse for body involved to Cheers

Hi All, just got my first trials bike 280 gg after a good few years of riding mx, h&h and most recently green laning. Looking forward to getting out and about for a bit of practice. I live near preston and am looking for practice areas. I know about cowm and will give it a look but have also heard about feniscoles and clivager. I was wonder could anybody tell me if the later two are still open and if so what days. Cheers in advance.

Hi all. Just stumbled across this site while looking for some info on my new (to me at least) Beta Techno 250. Thought i'd sign up and see what its all about I'm a total novice to the world of trials riding - got my first trials bike just last week! I got too envious of my 2 neighbors and their gas gas bikes, and seeing and hearing about the stuff they get up to and the apparent enjoyment they have on them was too much to ignore so i set about finding a cheapish starter bike to see what its like. I eventually picked up my '97 techno for the princely sum of 480 quid. She's been in the wars and has the scars to prove it but with a little tidying and setting up i think it'…

Thought I had better come and say Hello .... I have been reading this web site for some time but never got around to joining for some strange reason ( but I have at long last ) . So a big HELLO from sunny Paignton Devon.... Ian

Hi all, Just getting back into trials after about 10 years away from trials. Have just purchased a 2003 Gas Gas 250 and wondering if theres many people from the north oxfordshire Northampton area on here? I used to be part of the milton buzzard Club and looking to rejoin. Looking forward to chatting and getting tips from a few of you on here as new to using forums. Thanks Matt
