Thought I'd been a member on here before, but obviously not 😂 Got a 2004 Gas Gas TXT 200 Pro

Hello all....been a "lurker" for awhile now...thought I'd dive into the fold. I'm a recent Scorpa convert (from Gas Gas) and am having a few issues finding experienced tech. asst. (as Scorpa's are not the most popular bike here in the States)...so I'm hoping not to wearout my welcome in the Scorpa column. Hello all.

hi i have just bought a beta zero cant wait to have a go need to fit a clutch and work out why the fan wont work but that is what sundays are for

I just got an 85 TY350. I've ridden motorcycles most of my life (26 yrs old) but have never ridden competitively. I'm hoping to have some fun, get some exercise, and learn a thing or two!

Hi all, just got my first trials bike a few weeks ago, 2011 sherco 290, prob not the best choice for a 1st trials but was out last weekend and got on ok, don't get me wrong,I was only just getting a feel for the bike and didn't try anything to adventurous. had a great day even though it was snowing, raining, windy and I had to keep going back to the van to thaw out my fingers, any tips on bike setup/upgrades to help me along would be greatly appreciated. cheers

Hi my name is Stanley living in Javea Spain have been riding bikes for many years now (45 years ) have done road racing motocross and a few trials, I have just got a Bultaco sherpa 350 199 for renavation so will be posting many questions

Hi Guys and Girls! My name is Andy and I want to try trials, though good start would be to research on the forums what bike to get, and find a place where I can ride! Someone told me there is nice place next to Brentwood's Secret Nuclear Bunker..need to check it out! I've been riding bikes for years, tried mx and green lanes recently and thought trial bike will improve my overal balance and riding skills. Cheers, Andy

Hi all, Im new in your forum. For me it began in the late -70 with 50cc cup, my father building lovely bikes from scratch for my messaurements. As I remember we where about 40 kids in every competition, my best result ever where 9

Hi all, Had plenty bikes in the past but never a trials bike although fancied it for long enough, so decided to go for it and see what happens. Bought a txt 280, 2001 model I believe. Runs sweet as a nut, starts first kick, been sat in a garage for a few years so got a good deal, bit rough around the edges but not overly a***d about aesthetics, needs a good service and once over, only expensive part to sort really is the chrome on one of the stanchions has a 10mm flake off it which I think I’ll do a yeeha fix on with epoxy for now till I can afford the rechrome. Seems like a pretty active and handy forum anyway so will be on here a fair bit for info and w…

Howdy Gang! I just read Judson's intro here, so it seems I'm not the only new rider along the Front Range. I live near Laramie, just across the state line from Fort Collins. I'm an absolute newbie to trials, and I have yet to attend an event. My introduction to trials was, lets say, rough. A wonderful couple, Will and Jen, from Woodland park brought a couple trials bikes to a weekend gathering of adventure riders in the forest near Buena Vista, Colorado. They welcomed us all to try out the trials bikes, and set up some simple obstacles for us to practice on. After gaining confidence riding over small logs and stumps, I decided I could tackle the "trojan rabbit", a man…

Hello everyone, Richard here. Temporarily misplaced Oregonian living in Alaska. Just getting into trials bikes and running into winter real fast! Just picked up a GG 280 (2005) a couple months ago and still working on learning how to ride it. Used to do a lot of enduro type/ single track riding in NE Oregon (20 years ago). Can tell already that this bike is going to be a BLAST!

Hi, I'm a new member and looking for somewhere I can trial in Wiltshire. Anybody have any suggestions?

well what is there to say... resonably new to trials tho i seemed to have picked it up quickly coming from a biking back ground. definatly not new to forums cant remember how many sites iv signed up to. i live next to alton towers theme park and have been riding at places like hermiatge farm, ipstones sharp cliffe also near ipstones and hawks nest near buxton wondering if anyone has been to any of these places and what they are like compared to other trials venues? rob

Hi, I have just purchased a Montes Cota 314 and would like to find information on fuel setup, timing etc would anyone have any information or a source ?

Just registered with triials central. Complete trials beginner. I have visited two trials recently, Lancs one near Wray and today near Sedburgh which was a classic event. Where do I start? I have some off road experiance riding a Yam TTR250 with local TRF club but I am no expert. I guess I first need to join either Westmoreland or Lanc MCC. Then a bike! fairly confused on which one- modern or twinshock? I think no bigger than 250 2 or 4 stroke?. At todays classic the Yam TY 175 or 250 seemed a possible choice but should I be going for a more modern machine? I am a 50 years young so I need to make a sensible/correct choice!

Hi Chaps, New to this trials lark just bought an older Gas Gas as a winter father and son bonding project been into Supermoto for a few years, CCM R30, xr650R, ktm380sx and KTM 950sm have all "graced" my workshop at sometime in last few years. Not sure i have made the right choice of bike but heyho its in the workshop now so its got to be sorted ! Looking forward to teaching my boy to ride on it and generally having some fun. Have been really impressed with the forum having visited a couple of times. All the best Hoss (Steve)

Hello, Great forum! I recently bought my 9 year old an 80cc Beta (circa 2005). He has taken to it pretty well just riding around the farm - plenty of concentration and ear to ear grins. Inevitably it has run well for a while and we now have our first problem - clutch not disengaging, so when it drops into gear it stalls. If there is a guide for the technically inept on how to resolve it please let me know. Many thanks.

Hi guys, just looking for some advice if possible please. I'm looking to start trials at the age of 19 I come from a downhill mtb racing background and would like to try this out on the side for abit of fun, I've previously rode a sherco 290 a handful of times. I have been offered the gas gas txt 280 2007 pictured at £1500 has recently had brakes bled and car re buikt claims to be well looked after, I'm just looking for some advice on what to look out for? or if there is any other brands, model or year people would recommend for starting out? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Brandon.

Alright there just bought a bike that I used to own as a teen. Been out on it last weekend and the memories all came back. Just wondering where my local clubs/venues to ride at are. I live in Sedbergh in the Yorkshire dales.
