Introduce Yourself

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!

Hi All, recently bought from Spain a 213 Alpina. It is complete with toolbox, lights, etc... Good looking but needs attention. Exhaust was completely empty with metal bit moving inside, front tyre cracked, front spokes loose and seized, and speedo ring eaten up. I am in the process of fixing all that. I am on the learning curve... Here some views of the bike and the exhaust work done. Have a nice day,

Sold my Bul sherpaT mod 49 28 years ago. Ran into owner 30 days ago and wanted to know if I would buy it back for same price!!!!!

I am new to the trials scene, so I have some questions! What brand of bike would you guys recommend for a starter? I have road dirt bikes for most of my life( I am 36), so I am not new to riding. Most of my riding has been done in the woods. I don't have a trials dealer of any kind that is very close to me so that does not come into play. I am thinking that with the internet, and a parts manual, that parts availability should not be a issue. Another question is tire pressure. I notice that in the videos and pics that I have watched, and looked at, all the bikes are running really low air pressure. I understand the reason why,just don't know how low do they go. Th…

Hi All Total newbie here in South Wales, Cardiff. Looking for any pointer on a local club I may be able to join???

Morning all, I can no longer ignore the stirrings deep within that insist that I once again spend my weekends up to my armpits in mud. I find I'm eating the skins of my jacket potatoes and scrubbing them less, I'm volunteering to help the current Mrs Jayzee with the gardening as long as I can fondle the mud, and seem to 'accidentally' trip and fall face first in the mud more often than is reasonable when I'm walking the dogs... ...it can only be the call of the observed section. The mud, it seems, is beckoning me back in! So, who am I? I'm a 40+ bloke from the Cambridge, UK area that has never really grown up. I have been a motorcyclist since my early teens and own an …

Hello all, new at the trials game, have been on two wheels for a long time now, but have always admired the discipline and talent required for proper trials riding... that being said, after a long search on our local (read all of canada) clasifides I finnnaly came accross a machine that was 1: within my budget and 2: not halfway accross the country... So Now I am the proud owner of a gently used, not overly abused 2003 yamaha scorpa sy250r that suits me just fine, only I have come to find out that getting spares for this (or any other trials bike) is a bit of a challenge in my current geographical location... Looking for any advice on reliable sites that I can order…

Hi everyone, I am new to the sport, in fact so new I don't have a bike yet ! spent many years competing in mx & road race but now fancy a bash at trials, I have been looking at the Beta Rev3 250 & the Gas Gas 250, any advice would be great as I don't want to buy something that is not suitable. cheers Paul.

Hi, A couple of weeks ago I bought a 1979 Bultaco Sherpa 250, really nice bike and restored by its former keeper. I have pretty much zero trialing experience although I have been riding bikes for around 35 years (probably a familiar tale!). Eventually I would like to enter some novice twin shock events if I can get my skill level beyond hopeless and the bike set up right! Anyway, i'm based in Cumbria near to Kirkby Stephen, are there any local clubs anyone can recommend? Cheers.

Hi I live in the forest of dean I'm looking for some one to ride with im nearly 14, I would like to start competitions, live on a farm so lots of obstacles, stream, hills, space!! Get in touch if you're interested. Otis.

Back after a 5 year break. Had to sell my monty to fund a new van after my old one died in the snow. Got a bit sidetracked racing kite buggies down the beach for a.few years. Moved back to the UK after 8 long years on Jersey and finally bought another trials bike. Well. Actually bought a push trials bike to get fit and ready then got impatient and picked my sherco up last week. Waiting on helmet boots and club membership then I'm good to roll. Just need to get my old account opened up again now. The system won't send me a password reset. Possibly due to a Hotmail address? Can a mod help?

Hi I used to ride off road when I was much younger but really want to get into trials at a very beginner level. I've rode bikes for the last 40 years or so and I'm looking for a good cheap starter bike and places to ride in Lancashire. Thanks Martin

Hi i am thinking of entery my first trail this weekend which is at tong in bradford can any one tell me if it is to hard for my first go????? thank Matty

Hi everyone. Say hi to probably the heaviest trials rider in the country lol. I got myself one of these trials bike things,due to my mate badgering to get one . And ride it instead of my road bike through the winter. Best decision I've made in years .I must say it don't half knacker you out riding one. Anyway roll on the next trial. Tho I must learn to stop chucking the bike all over the place, otherwise it's gonna become an expensive hobby. TTFN Leigh

hello gang, just introducing myself, i've been a member for a little while now but i've been busy, sorry. i'd like to give a big thanks to gordon williamson for all his help.(copies of manuals etc.) just bought a tlr250r honda. i'll keep my eye on the forum and let you know if i come across anything of interest(to me or you??) thanks, le marr

My name's Mike, I'm new to trials. I bought my first bike 2 months ago and probably put 30 hours on it so far. Love the bike, looking forward to trials meets when the virus is under control. Unfortunately the bike I bought has a bearing that spun in the rear hub so I'm looking for one of those currently. Going to try some shim stock and sleeve retainer as a last ditch effort. Anyway nice to meet you all!

Hi, thanks for reading this. I am wanting to get into motorcycle trials as it looks really good fun. I have started speaking to local clubs to get myself started in that way. Very soon I will be needing to get myself a trials bike to play with. Now i am thinking that as a begineer who hasnt really ridden a motorbike before, i need to get myself a starter bike. Something that doesnt cost too much and is easy to learn on. After reading some things on the net it looks like i should be looking for a bike of around 250cc as I am 26 years old and a 125cc may be a little underpowered. Can anyone advise me on some bikes that would be suitable please. Would

Hi all just joined the site as i have just bought a trials bike and i am looking to gain some tips and advice on riding i have transisioned from road bikes - to enduro - Now to trials due to a knee injury from riding the enduro bike my bike is as follows its a late reg -2004 early 05 BetaRev3 but has the 06 graphics - ive been told the stator and CDI have been renewed (which is a good thing on the 04) and it has a Flywheel weight to tame it down a touch it does look to be very well loked after and i have been assured of the full history of the bike from the previous owner - only used for yellow trials at the most . anyways im based in Barnstaple so will look…

Hi all. As the title i am new to trials and looking to buy my first bike. Up until now iv only ever had 125 road & mx bikes. I had a play on a friends montesa 315 last weekend and loved it! I've always been interested in trials but never give it a go but now the KTM is up fo sale So what bike??? i only have a budget of about £1800 so looking for something reasonably cheap. I love the look of the shercos and can pick up 250's for good money and also there are 1 or 2 decent looking 250 gassers about around 2006 in budget. Any info would be good. I have been told though because im only 5ft4 and 8 1/2 stone a 250 would be too powerful for me and to get a 125... P…
