Hi Guys & Girls, Just thought i would say hello been looking at the forum for a while now reading some of the post's, after a trip to Scotland to watch both the Pre 65 & SSDT i have got the trials bug again after a 8ish year's of not riding a trials bike, i was competing in enduro's until a few years ago so can't wait to get back on a bike, i picked up a nice new Repsol 4RT on Wednesday can't wait to ride it on Sunday! I'm sure i will be posting lost of questions soon enough :-) Cheers Damon

Hello from sunny Lincolnshire well it has been today lets put it that way. ? Have dabbled or should i say dabbed my way around in trials on and off for years, but now i am mostly relegated to spanner monkey for my kids but have a few projects i am playing with and get out to play now and again.

I need parts for my Marzocchi fork cartridges for my 2006 Gasgas 280 pro. I was told I may be able to obtain them via gasgas UK or other source on this site. I live in the USA and having a difficult time trying to obtain them through Marzocchi USA. Can anyone help me out?

Its been 30 years, and finally I bought a trails bike. Last week a little Scopra SY250 entered my man cave. Ive done a few miles during my time of thrills and spills, from school boy 50cc to enduro and adventure riding. Time for a new challenge. Look forward to riding with you guys. TCD

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..

Hi I'm new to the site, and was just wondering if there were any team trials events around? Or if it even exist, as a few of us on the isle of wight would like to have a go,! As a team

Greetings! A little about me.. I'm 24 years old, got into dirt riding about 2 years ago. I currently ride a 2000 ktm 300 exc which I recently upgraded from a 95 Honda XR200 which I rode for over a year. I am very much interested in learning trials type techniques and trying to adapt them to the heavy enduro bike. Can't wait to take a trip to a trials school for a couple days where I can practice on a real trials bike. Most of my friends just don't understand my fascination for slow techniques and control, and would rather be throwing roost! Anyway, looking forward to conversing with you guys! Jacob

Hi all iam restoring a 1968 montesa cot 250 I have the matching engine and frame numbers and I want to register it for the road and iam told that I need a dating certificate how do I get one ? Thanks

Just a quick intro, I've owned a trials bike (aprilia txr 240) for a few years now and used it mainly just for messing around in feilds etc, I'm now looking to start using it a little more often and have decided to strip it down to fix some of the slight issues it has, so with that in mind I'm sure I'll need some advice and info in the coming months and this seemed like about the best place.

Hi all, I been browsing this forum for info about my -76 Yamaha TY250 for some time now. Today I bought myself a -84 Montesa cota 242 so it was about time I did register myself here. The TY I owned back in the late 70's, early 80's and bought it back last year, so im pretty confident with that bike. I restored it totaly, exept the painting. The Cota 242 I dont know anything about, it runs but seems to need some good care and spares. So I'm pretty surer I need will need some advise from the Montesa part of forum here. My 2 Trial bikes

Hey guys Just purchased "like new" Montesa COTA 4RT which is my first trials bike. I've been riding / racing since 1971 so been at it a while. Started out trail riding, did some enduros and became decent amateur motocross racer, then had a pretty good club level road racing career (ten years and several expert class championships) then went Formula car racing in SCCA and did okay but much better or may say more comfortable on a bike. Last 12 years racing hare scrambles and enduros but play / trail riding last couple years. Still love it and ride 3 to 4 weekends per month. So got the bug for a trials bike and purchased the Montesa so hope to have fun and improve all a…

Hello all , new to the boards here so wanting to say hi to everyone and looking forward to reading/writing with you all .Got a couple of gas gas's , an old 1995 250 and 06 280txt pro . Cheers Ross

Hi i've bought a 1968 BSA Starfie with 21" front wheel Standard forks new rear shocks and wish to use it on greenlanes. It will be MOTed and i will need to run lights so i'm looking for advice on what to buy alter and bin. I've been told a PVL ignition is too die for but not suitable for running lights, thinking of boyer branson type ignition with a gel battery does anyone have any advice? Also foot pegs, gear change, rear brake folding welding to the frame placement sump guard etc. Which carb and moving the inlet manifold back? I don't want to waste time and money but i would like to get it right. I would be greatful for any advice given thank you Peter

Hi all. Just joined after purchasing a ?low? mileage TLR200 to restore and ride. Looks like a great resource community here. Spud

Hi, quick intro: Bought a TY 175 back in early 80s. Played with it and fell off a lot for a few years. Then got heavily into building and sailing classic sailing dinghies, which I still am, see: http://www.cvrda.org/ But with two teenage boys in the family it seemed like a good idea to go pull the TY out of the back of my brothers barn and get it going again. That got me thinking....and looking at ebay....so when a knackered nonrunning Cota 247 came up, I bid and suddenly had a new project. Havn't rebuilt a bike in 15 years so rather rusty (last two rebuilds were a Guzzi and a Ducati). But Cota is coming along....and my riding of TY is slowly getting together....…

Hi, finally got excuse to join trials fun having inherited a late 92 Beta Zero 260 Jordi T signature bike. Heard all the Joy's of being a Beta owner. Hopefully it'll lead to adding a more recent trials model to weekend garage which has always been Enduros, but the Beta will be a sentimental resto. Came with Techo fronted and the original boxed up (assuming the following being very reason). Want to restore with the forks, labelled up as GT32 (Paioli 36mm USD), but the top cap is done up FT even though still sitting way out of the uppers and brass adjustment screw too soft to attempt impact driver. Anyone familiar with internals and can say whether its safe to con…

I’m new to trials. 50 years old. Enjoying it all so far. Been riding for around two months. Live in Melbourne, Australia.
