Introduce Yourself

Hello, I have just become an owner of montesa cota 260 and I am excited to start a new trial chapter in my life Best, Tomek

Just 44 years after I last rode a trials bike, I'm thinking of having another go. Well, I'm more than thinking about it really, but SWMBO has declared "You've got to sell the boat first", which seems reasonable. Anyone want to buy a boat? My last bike was a 1966 4-speed Bultaco so for nostalgia reasons I'd like to get a Bultaco again. However I don't want something that won't be reasonably competitive, so I suspect I'll be more likely be looking for a Fantic or Yamaha TY (for Twinshock, obviously). No doubt I'll be dropping into the forum frequently, asking a zillion naive questions about bikes, clothing, trailers, techniques, clubs, practice grounds and who knows…

Hi all I'm Ted, and yesterday my son and me bought this beautiful 1977 Montesa Cota 348. Hope to have a lot of fun with that. Some time ago we bought a 2002 GasGas TXT 280 which has given us a lot of pleasure already. Now we have to divide our attention to two bikes. We also have a restauration project: Bultaco 350 T. The one thing missing is enough free time to work on that... Cheers, Ted

Hello all, my name's Sergio and I'm from the lake region, Northern Italy. Been reading the Trialscentral forum for quite some time now, lots and lots of interesting topics and answer. I started riding in 1988 and after a 20 years break, I started again 6 years ago, I just missed trials too much, it has always been on my mind for all those years where I was busy doing something else. Got a Vertigo Vertical 4 months ago and I compete in the lower class of the Trialario championship which is held in northern Italy. Cheers to all!

Hello, Total noobie here thought I'd start with this forum. I live in Orange County, California and looking to give the sport of trials riding a go. I grew up racing motocross in my younger days and have been an avid street rider for the last decade or so. Trials riding has always peaked my interest and decided that 2020 would be the year to give the sport a go. The SoCal Trials Association seems to be a good group and looking forward to riding with the group here shortly. I am 35, 200 pounds and looking at picking up either a Beta 250 or possibly a 2017 Vertigo Combat that recently came up for sale in NorCal. Seems like Beta would be the safest choice in regard…

Hi all and greetings from Guernsey (British Channel Islands). New to the forum and a very new owner of my first classic twin shock - a Bultaco Sherpa Type 92 framed Type 49 motor - which I know is going to need a lot of work (that’s why I bought it). I’ve spent some time researching and always seem to end up back here so just wanted to say hi. I might be here a while ? very best regards Tim

Hello everyone, my 8 yr old son b-day is coming up and I'm having a hell of a time finding an electric Oset/Beta 20. I'd starting looking at KTM's SXE5 but they are 8k with taxes and freight. Cascade in Mission use to have stock, even used one's but they are under ownership change. I've been watching Craigs and Marketplace but nada. Can anyone please recommend where I might look or share a contact if you know anyone that has a Oset, Beta or even a KTM SX E5. Interested in an electric bike so he can get more seat time. Thank you

Hi! I'm a newbie with a brand new M2R.. Looking for help with how to register it on the road. I've read a helpful thread on here from a few years a go but stuck with what to actually register it as, due to seat height being under 900mm 🤔

Hi there. I first rode in trials in my teens. I was pretty crap, but I loved it. In my 20s I went scrambling. In my 30s I went hillclimbing. In my 40s I was still hillclimbing In my 50s I tried classic trials on a Cub. In my 60s I started greenlaning. I also bought a Montesa 4ride. That encouraged me to try Long Distance Trials. I love those and now on the eve of my 70s I am thinking of trying club trials again. How easy are Bradford Club trials? Am I making a big mistake?

hi everyone just bought myself a 2003 beta rev3, all is good at moment, but does anyone know were i can buy spares from apart from internet? I live near rochdale lancs,on sat went into robinsons ktm/beta dealers in rochdale to get an airfilter,the guy said they have stopped doing trials spares just sticking to ktm stuff any ideas?

Now then all, just got a gasgas 125 txt pro 2002 for my ten year old lad. Needless to say it has every fault in the book. I will hopefully get it fettled with the help of this site and its users. Cheers all.

hello to all. am 25 and have a gas gas txt pro 280 2010 model.

Just introducing myself , I am from the southern DFW area and had a vintage trials ( 1977 Bultaco Sherpa T 350 ) that I just sold . I am looking at a 04 Sherco 2.9 on Wednesday and want to get back into trials . I haven't seriously ridden for about 15 years . I would like to find some people in the area to ride with . Thanks, Raz

Bought an 07 Beta Rev3 2 months ago and love the thing Had a couple of 70's Yamaha's a long time ago and always wanted the real thing Nothing has taught me more about riding than this bike

Just bought an old (like me) TY 250, looking forward to some fun, hello to all.

Hello to everone I'm no stranger to bikes, and my road bike is a 2003 TDM900 Yam, But lately I've had a hankering for a trials bike after a few shots on my mates Beta, so I've bitten the bullet and bought a 2003 Beta rev3, it's been used and has an odd war wound, but basically sound, so I'm in the process of getting the old girl fettled before I get serious and start practicing before I attempt my first Trial, and at 56 years old it will probably make my list of aches and pains grow by the week but I'm so looking forward to it so joining a club will be a must and a licence as well I believe, so I might see some of you soon oh and if your ever fortunate to have me obse…

Hi everybody, i am Massimo from Italy. I have a Montesa 4rt 2007.

Good evening everyone, I'm kev from Redditch Worcestershire. I'm going to be looking for a bike to have a little fun on n the next few weeks and after a little practice join a club.

Hi all. Just got in here after getting hold of an old Fantic. Probably need help identifying the Fantic and help with parts sources. I am a two stroke fan and have an RD350 YPVS N2 as a road bike.

Just returning to trials after a few years off,,,
