Introduce Yourself

Hello all, After more than 40 years of street riding, 10 years of road racing and 20 years of riding dirtbikes I finally bought a Trials bike. Non of my previous experience seems to add up to a hill of beans when it comes to the Trials Bike I'm sure the Trials bike will greatly enhance all my other forms of riding. I have only had it out a few times, mostly trail riding, and look forward to getting involved more with the sport.

hi every one jus a note to say im debbie and im takin up trials, somethin ive always wanted to do from the first time i rode a bike at age 7 on a butlins holiday , it cost just 50 pence for a few laps of the track. i was there all day. having just sold my house its a grand oppertunity, at the momment im moderate to crap but will soon improve with time, i hope my 14 years of riding on the roads will help me

Hello, my name's Felix, I'll keep it short, I used to be into trialing quite a lot and had a Gas Gas 125, however I had to sell it to free up some cash, it didn't really matter coz I am pretty crap but I still missed having a bike, recently I came across a Yamaha TY250 Pinky, it's a nice bike. Anyone else have one and know any common faults with them or easy jobs I can do to make it better, I'm not much of a mechanic, I'm gonna wash it off and clean it out, put some stickers on, that'll make my Pink bike look cool

My name is Kevin and I've moved from Pommieland to NZ. Took up trials again after a long time off and have met a good bunch of lads. We go out to play every sunday and have a modern trial once a month. I've got an 05 250 Pro which I managed to break already so it's in bits in Blenheim. I've been lent an 03 Scorpa which I like a bit too much, so! Also got a TLR200 so I can do the odd classic trial and I'm trying to get my boy a bit beter at riding so he can come too. Life is good! Sirsherco are you who I think you are?

Hi Guys, after a lay off from riding since i was a lad, i've recently got back into bikes although I've never considered trials. Now i've bought a trials bike and want to give it a go, but the question is where to start on the learning process. I'm sure someone out there can give me some sound advice. Please. Dave O

Hello, My name is callum i am 15 and i live in leicestershire and i have a 05 gasgas 125 i have only been doing the sport for seven months and am very good for how long i have been riding, and do trials all around the country Callum

Hi everyone I've been a regular reader of the forum for the last few months and have now decided to have a crack at trials so i thought it best to sign-up and get involved. My Name is Phil my mates call me harv and i live in Angarrack, Cornwall, i am going to be buying my 1st bike in the next few weeks and hopefully join a club IF i can find one . I am 29 so probably a bit old to start learning but what the hell.....

Ive ridden bikes since 1963, bought my first one myself at 18 in 1965 . . and have had over 100 different bikes in the last 45 years . . . . Being a 'tool guy' I mostly fix them up, drive them for a while and resell and buy something better until I have something I want to keep a while . . I rode a 74 Honda tl125 in 74-76 and a tl250 in 84 , , , had a bad fall in 85 desending a steep slope, broken bones involved, and swore off dirt bikes . . . kept ridding street bikes until I was 55 and my wife asked me to stop . . said Ok . . . went for 4 years without a bike . . . But at age 60 I couldn't stand being bikeless, bought 2 Trials bikes and want to try it again . . . . …

Hi all im Jonny, at the moment i have an old beta, (around 1989) and im wanting to upgrade to something newer, although im on a very tight budget, im not exactly sure how much i have to spend, it would all depend on the bike, but i know its tight! i was thinking along the lines of a Techno? does anyone have any advice or know anyone in my area selling a bike? any help/advice would be awesome. Many Thanks, Jonno..

Hi all from Sunny California! Enjoyed browsing the site. Turns out I rode Trials for a while in Europe, many many years ago (OK, OK in the 70s... ) Well, the bug has bitten again, in part driven by the great newer bikes and by fond memories of fun in the woods. So, I'm presently looking for a bike and if successful, may just get to enjoy the sport again. Hope to participate and perhaps contribute a bit later on to the site! best regards Eric

Just Rode the Glaisdale 40mile trial for 1st time. Guisbrough club did a cracking job - a good old fashioned trial but with routes to suite all, like me. Hope they don't turn it into a national, as the rumour is this is a possibility, it's perfect as it is. Well done to all involved - doing the Wainwright this weekend - bet i dont get such a relaxed ride.
