Introduce Yourself

As this is my first post and there's an "introduce yourself" section I thought I would say a quick hello. I'm Chris and have a 1966 Bultaco Sherpa that I'm planning to restore in the coming months, or maybe years as not in too much hurry. From browsing the forums I've been awed and impressed by the depth of knowledge and support so a big thanks for all the information I've already gleaned but I have many more questions. The bike is not in great nick although is mostly complete (I do have the wheels). I've owned it since 1982 when, after destroying my brother's "field bike" (a Casal), my dad bought me the Sherpa mainly to shut me up as I was a bit bike bonkers. Anyway, it'…

Hi All Just started out in trials after rebuilding a gg txt125 and txt pro 25 over the winter looking to join a club any recomendations? Been riding mx for a few years but realised its to aggressive for the responsibility i have on my shoulders .............

I’ve been on dirt and street bikes for over 40 years and on Tuesday I bought my first trials bike. A 2006 Gas Gas 280 txt pro. On Friday I was off work so I brought home a bobcat and commenced to make part of the back yard a riding area. It was raining so when I was done I decided to try to fix a leaky rear tire. I knew I was in trouble when I got the tire off and the rim tape was siliconed on. Under that was some crusty gunk. I cleaned it all up and proceeded to checking the spokes. Out of the first 9 I checked 4 broke so I ordered a new set and rim tape. Now I have to wait until Wednesday or Thursday to play on all my work.

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.

old fart on a ktm 500 exc. I have always been amazed by trials bikes. I started riding at 8 years old. As with many, quit for a stretch and now on the Katoon. Balance is what I need.

Greetings all, recently got my son a ty 80 to learn on and he's getting on well, got a bike to ride with him and got my first trials bike, 2001 txt 250. Can't wait for the weekend!

Hello, Just about to get my 2nd trials bike at almost 52, my first was a Bultaco Sherpa 325 about 25 years ago so the 99' Beta Techno 250 will be like starting from zero! I currently run a CCM644DS and also a BMW R1150GSA and the Beta will be solely for fun and pleasure as well as for fitness and coordination improvements. Cheers, Mike.

Hi all, my first trials bike turned up today (1999 Beta Techno),mad bikes all my life but my trials experience is limited to jumping on my mates gas gas jtr at work and promptly twisting the throttle wide open with the inevitable result...... Bike came from Yorkshire and jeez I could have done with a friendly face around to show me how to start it but I got there in the end my st be 30 yrs since I kick started a bike! The clutch stick from cold is savage and I read with interest the fix in the sticky, only prob is the have no idea where to drain or fill the clutch from!! I am sure it will come to me, I have seen the parts manuals on sites but not an owner manual? Trial…

Hi all, long time motorcycle enthusist, first time trials owner. After years of eyeing trials bikes, a fantic popped up on craigslist with an irresistible price. The rest is history. I look forward to learning more.

Hello all, i have just joined the group. lm a Montesa collector 1950-78. I have a couple of 1968 247cc Cotas one being number 0016 and wondered if anyone knew of any earlier ones in the UK ?

Hi just joined the forum, as i am looking to start in trials. dont have a trials bike yet, never done trials before, so much to learn. have been riding road bikes for 20 + years but i dont think that will count for much when it comes to trials. going to enter this new hobby as a complete novice. Cheers Az

Hi there, 50 something returnee to the feet up game, (last time over 30 years ago with a Golner kt250 ) jumped straight in and brought a '97 315r Montesa/Honda...Umm eeek !

Hi I am new to this forum and I don't know what I doing and hope I am in the correct section !! If not well there you go . I got myself a Montesa Cota 247 and know next to nothing about trials / trail / dirt / 2 stroke bikes . I may annoy you a bit asking simple questions to you but I will be lost . I am doing the front forks now and I have been told 200 ml of 10 wt oil . There was 150 ml in each leg when I emtied them out so I am taking notice of a comment on this forum of 200 ml and 10 wt oil . I suspect that the crank seal's need doing so when I get to that stage I will be yelling out " HELP ME PLEASE " I am in Sydney Australia so maybe there is some one close to …
