Hello everyone it’s wonderful to be able to join you all here today I bought an old aprilia tx 240 and recently started riding a kx250f (absolute beast) Unfortunately my tx 240 isn’t a runner and i will be asking a few questions hopefully I can answer some too as I have spent a bit of time on her. that is a hospital bed the tx 240 is the patient I like the unique look of these old bikes i had a rotax 122 for her but that won’t fit without chopping the frame.

Hi, New to all this trials malarkey, have joined as I intend to get my boys 7 and 9 into riding so we can go and have some fun together (rather than me watching them have all the fun at Tennis /footballl etc etc) We have some old bikes I am going to get rid of (pw50,ty80,gg50) so I can get the boys a bigger oset 20 to ride on as the 9 year old is to big for the 16 we have, but I like the osets for them to learn on as they easier for them to learn on with no clutch. They are really excited and interested at the moment so looking forward to trawling round the site and picking up some tricks and tips. Cheers Phil

Hello I've spent many hours enjoying reading posts until my eyes are like p*** holes in snow... I grew up in Yorkshire riding Bultos and Ossas. I explained to my wife that I grew up riding with the Lampkins (I think I saw a couple of them across a wet field, 400 yds away...?) and it is my right to start riding trials after a brief lay-off, 42 years to be precise. I live in Hertfordshire these days. I've bought an '85 TLR200 thinking I'd ride twin-shock events and restore the bike and improve at the same time. So far, new cables, bars, grips, tyres, exhaust, brakes and oils and still I haven't made it out of the garage. I keep breaking bits off and having to sou…

I'm new to this site, so if I'm posting in the wrong area...sorry, please advise. My issue is, I'm re-building an old TY-250, 1974, awaiting a new electronic ignition, new throttle cable that replaces the forked one that controlled the oil injector, and a plate to block the old port for the worm gear that drives the oil injector. While I'm waiting, I'm trying to identify the rear shocks that came with the bike. They are definably after market shocks, red in color and have an air stem at the bottom. I have seen these shocks on other vintage bikes. My question is: What is the manufacturer name? Can the shocks be rebuilt? What is the recommended pressure for a 200 lb …

Hi folks, a mate has been trying to get me into Trials so I had a first go this weekend in a field and going slowly around a tyre. We're both beginners, me more so. He's bought a ~2008 GasGas 280. To cut to the chase, my throttle control wasn't so good and when I stopped relying on the clutch I ended up chucking it in a hedge. We'll be looking for a 125 or easier 250 to learn on but in the short term, where's my best bet for sourcing a replacement used clutch cover? Managed to crack it! Thanks and hello, Des

Hello Everyone, it must be 15 years since I last rode my Gollner Honda TLR250 mono but it still sits in my garage teasing me every time I go in and talk to my other love (no not the fridge full of beer!), a 1989 Audi quattro. Anyway, bike is part way through a rebuild and so is the rider and I hope to get back out into the streams and woods of rural Aberdeenshire in the not too distant future now I class for the over 40s group! As a quick introduction, I started trialling when I was 10 and worked up to expert by the late 80s' when I stopped. We used to hold Scottish Championship rounds on my parents farm near Inverurie with around 140 riders but when they retired from …
