Introduce Yourself

Hi just turned 50 so thought it be good to have a go again - guy came in the shop and offered me a 2004 Sherco 290 for 500 quid so snapped it up. New brakes, bearings, oil and suspension bushes later and she running fine. Just come back from my inorgral practice by the river, all ok until I slipped off the edge - me and the bike fully submerged, only the the throttle grip sticking out !! Anyway managed to pull her out but now will not start - unsurprisingly !! Glad to be back !!!

Hello everyone, I've just got my hands on a ossa tr280i 2012. This is my first trial and I think this forum seems like a great place?

I have returned to trials a couple of years ago and things have moved on so much. I started back on a 2 stroke but now riding a 4rt which suits me better now I'm older. I fancy a repsol now so any comments on difference please? Simon

Sold the beta old zero, but couldn't go long without an old smoker to play about on, so iv gone and brought a gasgas txt 270, I'm joining back up to the earlshilton club soon so if anyone other novice riders out there looking for a rideing buddy drop me a message cheers.

Hi all, As the title says, been reading the forums for a bit and finally decided to book myself onto a trials experience day later this month. Been a road rider in the Uk for years and after a brief midlife enduro crisis a few years ago :-D I think... maybe I'm better suited to Trials, really want to do more with my weekends that's bike related and off road but suitable for a 50 something kid !! Anyway... I guess I'll know if it's for me in a couple of weeks ! No doubt there will be lots of questions and archive browsing..... ? Thanks Crispy

Hi everyone , my name is Dave and i have been into trials for the past 2 years, i currently have a 2020 beta evo 4t factory. I was hoping to get some advice on if advertising parts im making is allowed ? I ask because ive started making fork seal guards for different bikes and i need somewhere better than facebook to advertise. I've attatched a photo of the part but dont want to spam the forum trying to sell them obviously.

Hi folks, another newbie,sort of, after several years with a BSA B40 Otter I gave up riding for a couple of years. I recently returned to the sport and bought a Greeves TES250, a lovely bike and the 3rd scottish I have owned. I have a small problem with jetting on the 626 Amal fitted, to get it to run long enough to warm up and keep running at idle involves holding the tickler down almost constantly. Anyone help me with main jet size, pilot jet size and needle jet/needle settings? As a matter of interest, are there ANY trials being run in S E England, it seems very quiet on the Pre-65 front in the eastern centre. T A F N, Dave (90vanman)

Hi there. I've recently bought a TY250 Mono and almost fitted a towbar to the car. Many years ago, I owned some nice TL's and I visited a local Trial at Hood Green in Barnsley last weekend. Do any of the members know of places where it is legal to ride, without incurring the wrath of Plod and residents? I believe that there is a site at Buxton, certainly Derbyshire, where trials machines can practice. Any comments are appreciated and It will be good to meet with like minded people. Kind regards, Simon

Good day, I'm new to this site, so an intro is needed....... I've never ridden observed trials, I have poor balance. I don't normally ride in the dirt. I have a couple of older Trials bikes. A Bultaco M80, a Montesa Cota 250 ~ 1975 and a OSSA MAR that is in a real bad way and may not be ridden again. I don't have much 2 stroke knowledge. Change the plug, got gas... won't start, I'm lost. I'm giving the Montesa to my son. Riding with him might help my balance ;^) As such, my participation on the forum may be one sided. I have been riding for 40+ years, but as I said, not much in the dirt. I live in the Okanagan valley, in the lower central of BC, Canada

Hey all. Got me a trials bike again after riding solely enduros for the last eight years. I started in trials in 2000, on an ol Montesa Cota 242 '84, and quickly got me a Gasgas GT 32 '91. (That was at the age of 30+ ) Rode it for a few years, then decided to go Big bike, so I got rid of the trials bike in favour of a Honda NX650 Domainator. That was the wrong bike for me. I rode it nice and shiny for a week, then wrestled it down a narrow trail, and fell over on some rocks and roots into a deep puddle of water, plastics were flying in all directions.. Went huntin for enduro bikes instead. Finally settled for a 4stroke Gasgas, and rode it hard over a few years, and last…

(Good day from SA!) Hi trialsters! I acquired a 2005 Beta Rev3 270 some months back, but due to wrist injuries from MX riding, I was unable to ride it more than a few times or work on it I've now healed up and started taking apart the bike and I'm hoping for no major surprises!

Hi guys hope people can help with some of my posts

Hi all. New here from ireland. Started trials few years ago and gave up after few months after an injury. Iv returned recently after purchasing a gasgas 280 txt pro model it's an 03. Joined up to get some help and tips.

Afternoon all. I'm just getting into this trials thing as I fancy doing a bit of mud plugging in the winter down here in Somerset. I live in the Quantock Hills so not too far from some lovely routes, although I know the area of outstanding beauty lot have had most the trails closed. I do know some local farmers who I'm sure will let me shred their fields and woods though. Anyway I happened across this OSSA MAR in the VMCC magazine a few weeks back just down the road, so I duly popped over and bought it off the chap. Nice little bike; hand painted in Hammerite with the tank and panels in Dulux non drip gloss. Suffice to say the bike is now a crate of bits with the frame o…
