    Hi Guys my names Jeff, and i am thinking of taking up trials. I currently jetski, freestyle on a stand up about 7 years now. Todays economy has swung me, where building a freestyle ski is big money, You cannot buy one new unlike a trials bike, where its ready to trial straight out the showroom. Any advise on what bike to buy ?, second hand for starters. I am 39 years old, 5 feet 7 inches, and 11 stone, any advise on the right bike for me would be gratefull. Thanks for any feedback Jeff.

    Hi I'm returning to the world of trials..!! After mortgages - kids etc I find I've time to get back into trials after a 25+ year break. So at 47 years of age now (were has the time gone?) I'm turning to you guys for help and advise on buying a second hand bike. Budget is upto £1200 so what's my options? Are there rules and regs on two strokes or has the world gone four stroke? Told you it's been a while. Look forward to some great guidance.

    Hi All, I have decided to dig out my old KT250 that has been sitting in the garage for 6 years and restore it. I started out riding trials on a Ty80 when I was 8 or so. Rode that for a while then got an RL250 and a KT250 at Mid-Ohio VMD. I rode the KT with some local friends and rode at mid ohio in 03 or 04. Ended up getting into modern MX, got out of that, now riding Speedway motorcyles and wanted to do some cross trianing since the speedway bikes can only be ridden on tracks. Looking around I see a lot of helpful info that will get my KT back to life! Anyone else formt the area?

    Well I've just started my learning curve of trial's riding and now I'd like to ask a few questions.Picked up a 1986 ty 350 with a 250 top end over a year ago, after a carb clean and a trans flush I was able to ride it for 6-8 riding hrs. However first start up's are getting harder and harder [ to let you know I'm a tech at a yamaha shop 20 years] so I'm sure she's a little tired and I'd like to freshen her up.Is there any one stop shopping for parts or do I need to search here & there on the web?

    Hiya guys!!! The names Shane, from the deep southwest of Ireland, and this time last year I saw a Beta Techno 250 going for very cheap money (project), so I snapped it up, and set about doing it up.... Long story short, in the process of removing the alternator from the engine, I noticed the trigger coil fell off the stator (broken). I tried to solder it back on and glue it into place, but having rebuilt it now, I can confirm no spark.... Does anyone have any ideas that may be cheaper than splashing out £100 on a new stator? I'm a student with 2 other bikes to maintain so I'm trying to keep this one to a cost minimum. Anyways, apart from that the bike is ready to go…
