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 guys, A quick hello to you all. I came across the site after buying an aprillia 280 climber (1993) and cant find much about them on the web when i saw you have an aprillia forum I'm getting into trials after doing road racing for the last 4 years... little rgv250...won a club championship in 2005 and had a nasty blow up in 2006 leaving me with 23 fractures in the right tib and fib...still got a frame on the leg but hoping to have it removed in the next few months...So seeing as the aprillia has the kickstart on the left..BONUS And from what i can remember when i used to do a bit of off road when a yoof......even at 5mph it can be pretty scary at times …

Hi from Fairbanks, Alaska. I've got two oldies: 74 TY250 and a 75 TL250. Both run great but the TY250 needs a new kick starter lever and the TL250 needs a new exhaust system. Lots of fun!

I've joined a couple of days ago and only just realised this introductory bit was here. So. . . Hi. Im from Lancashire and grew up riding field bikes and then motocross. I then got into road bikes, and then supermoto. I currently own a Yamaha FZX750 and a CR500 supermoto which i have built myself and and can be seen at my myspace page here - http://www.myspace.com/aaaagh . Leave comments if you like. I have just bought a 97 Scorpa Easy 250. I always hankered after a modern mono trials bike since i owned an old ty175 years ago. It has been sat in a local bike shop for about 18 months My grandad passed away recently and left me just enough money, he told me to buy so…

Well I am 27 years young from Ayrshire in Scotland. I currntly race mx and have done for oh 19 years now so bike experience that way is not a problem. I have also practiced pedal trials for around 7 years. I have good natural balance and decent bike skills both pedal and the engine powered kind. Anyway to cut a long story short I was practicing the other day getting ready for racing this weekend at Drumclog then due to lack of entries the race was cancelled. As motocross is such an exspensive sport and the fact that this year I have not gained any speed tells me that maybe I am ready to take a back seat on the mx thing. Thinking of trading in for a new 08 125 to keep for…

Hello there everyone. I'm WRC and am new to the forum

Hi, My name's Pete Dawson, I'm new to Trials Central but have been around for years. Have ridden Trials and Scrambles for 50 years next month on most makes of British, Spanish and Japanese machinery at some time or other. I am secretary of the Red Marley Hill Climb Club, Secretary for the Retro 65 two day trial and a regular rider in BMCA Classic trials on my little 170 Cotton Miarelli.

Hi I'm Mick, my son has a ty 80 and he has started to trial at earl shilton so i've got myself a bultaco 325 and hope to join him soon when i've got the bike ready

Hi Just bought a Montesa Cota 315R. Not sure yet how far I want to go with it. Realistically I'll probably just use it for the odd day out at Tom's farm and anywhere else I can find at first and then when its road registered will probably use it for green laning. Might like to get good enough to join a club but we will have to see how I get on with it! Been into Moto-x prior to this and have a Husqvarna CR430 (Aka the Swedish Satan) but at the moment I'm not riding it much as I am really struggling to find places in the midlands to ride it as I'm not into big jumps and tabletops etc and the only enduro track I know of is only open on Sunday and I can't do Sundays :-( B…

Hello all, Just heard about this Forum...........looks like an interesting site. Have only been into trials for the last years or so, join a local Club - "Montrose & District" great bunch of lads especially "Geordie", have competed in a few Local and Classic Club events, not getting on that well to be honest but I'll just have to keep plugging away and hopefully get better....I have 2 Bikes now, a Sherco 2.9 & a Twin Shock TY-250 that I'm currently restoring. Ventured up to the 2-day Pre-65 in may, had the best time watching this event, maybe one day..... Regards, Mark..

Hey All. I'm the newest (New Guy) here and just wanted to say Hi. Looking forward to meeting everyone. My first Trials bike was a 1974 TY 250 and I've been thinking I'd like to find one to rebuild as a retirement project. Well I just recently retired and now have time to referb one. A buddy of mine called me a couple days ago and said he found one. Someone at his church had one taking up room in the garage and was willing to sell it. Long story short, I'm now the owner of it and will be embarking on the rebuild project. It runs great but it's going to need new seals, rear shocks right away. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can find parts??…
