Introduce Yourself

Hey gang, waiting for my 2013 Gas Gas Race to come in so I can start participating again. Been doing the family thing and now that their a little older it's time to ride again. Also been reading the great posts around here and thought I'd join in. Can't wait to get my new bike and start riding some more trials. See ya all around the site.

Hello, im after getting into trials but got to sell my bike first then i would like to get a gasser txt 250 and would like some pointers to look out for when buying one cheers

Hi, I am Richard and have moved from an Ossa MAR to a Montesa 215 2001 now the body is wearing out! I joined whilst looking for info on removing the front / rear wheel bearings. The forum looks interesting.

well I finally signed up. Not so new to trials but the computer is a bit rocky Hi everyone. I ride in Northern Ca.

Hi Folks, My name is Dave Haynes and I live in Los Angeles. I have a 1958 T20C and am looking forward to picking your brains on keeping it running. Dave.

Hi, Another newbie here. Picked up my "new" 2001 Beta Rev 3 270 yesterday. Bought from the biggest bullsh*tter I've ever met and have found a couple unmentioned nasties already. Happy to say that I've actually enjoyed tinkering with it (so far). Will be a regular poster in the "help me" section so thanks in advance! It looks like this site is the best and perhaps the only source of really useful info so far. I ride a KTM as well and there's an abundance of info about them out there. It's hard to even find things like torque specs for the Beta! Anyway - cheers!

hi im jim im new to trials i have bought a sherco 290 and loveing it i live in hampshire and am looking to start trialing next month wish me luck

New to trials, really having fun with my 07 Sherco 2.5. I have a few ramps and wooden skids set up to ride over and doing ok. Been upside down a few times going over the 4 footsections. Being new to this sport I am having some wrsit and shoulder pain due in part to my age 50+but was wondering if I am doing something wrong to have this pain or is it kind of normal due to the up right riding position? Thnx Tom

Hello everybody, thought i would start here as it seems the most logical place. My name is Matt and i live just outside Shrewsbury. I have just come back from a 3yr break away from trials and have just bought myself a really good beta techno. I will be making a few trips to practice grounds and a few abit further away should anyone wish to join me. I cant wait to get back out again on the trials iron. i hope to use this bike for a year or so to get my hand back in and then maybe upgrade again when the time is right. Would love to hear from any other trials riders in the Shropshire area. All the best.......Matt Clarke

Hi, I'm Antonino from Italy. I'm a lucky owner of a Fantic Trial 301 and just got my sun a Gasgas TXT Boy to be refurbished. Hope to find some help here and hope to give my little help as well. ciao

Hello, I'm a french rider (40 years old), without bike... I have ride during seven years with many bikes (Yamaha, Ossa, Beta, Fantic, Aprilia, Gasgas) when I was young... The Gas was my last bike in 1996... I hope to make progress in english with you and have fresh news about motorcycle trials riders and trials bikes. Regards, Vincent

Hi Everyone. I am coming back into trials on a Fantic 200 after a 10 year break, where I last rode a 241 Fantic. My riding level is all 3

Hello to u all. With knees that not really like mx and missing some enduro skills started doing trial. We are pretty serious (my girlfriend is also in it) We are from the Netherlands. I hope to try to come as far that is possible for me. We practice once or twice a week and soon I have my first contest. Being stubborn ofcourse not listened that good to other people what bike we should buy. So now whe have a shed full. My girlfriend ended on a 125cc Beta Evo and I ended in a 300cc Vertigo Combat.

Hi guys n gals Im steve from bedford I bought my GasGas Txt 200 at christmas last year as a project, I actually wanted a pre 65 triumph but didnt wanna spend all that money on a bike i wasnt going to use as often as i liked! anyway I when I picked it up I only had the frame, bottom end, swing arm and a box of bolts and odds n sods. So far iv got forks and handlebars for it.

My other bits left on the shopping list are a pair of wheels, iv been told scorpa ones fit?!? and then finally …

Hi Everyone, My name is John and I live in Wolverhampton. For the last few months I have been restoring a 1980 Montesa Cota 200. I took it to a practice track this weekend for the first time, cracking fun but the bike needs sorting properly. Anyone interested in twinshocks in the wolves area please get in touch, clubs, places to ride ect. Regards, John.

Recently acquired a 1973 OSSA MAR from the original owner. Rough but mostly there. Not running and needs some attention. The MAR was not a planned machine to own, was looking more at a modern trials bike but this was offered to me knowing it was going to a good home. Time will tell if it is viable to fix up or is cost prohibitive. Always wanted a trials bike, hope to attend some of the Florida events, even if as a spectator.

Hello, I'm the webmaster for hillsborough mcc trials club. nice to meet you all Tricky (editer to correct spelling mistake )

Hello everyone, my name is Bart and I am from Poland. I've just bought a 1988 Beta TR34 260cc as an early christmas present for myself It needs some basic restoration and maintenance, but nothing that would overwhelm me. I am an amateur enduro enthusiast who wants to improve his riding skills and technique. Hopefully I can later translate those skills to my Yamaha TT600R, or maybe I will totally hook on Trials? Who knows? I also collect and restore vintage Vespa scooters, that is why I wanted a classic 2T Trial bike, not a modern one. Hope to find a lot of information here. Cheers!
