Introduce Yourself

Hello everyone, I'm an old (very) ex trials rider, originally from Dublin, now living in New York. I'm excited to have purchased a TL250, and can't wait to ride it. I'm also on the hunt for a TL 125 for my daughter. Looking forward to sharing experiences and asking questions. Sean Dell

Hello from sunny Morar in the west of Scotland. I'm itching to get back into the trials and it seems like this is the place to be for all those technical questions. I've found lots of info on here already and it's great that so many people are happy to share their knowledge and experience. Recently I acquired a Beta TR34 Stripey and am in the process of getting her rideable. Hopefully I won't offend too many purists but I've fitted her with a set of Rev 3 yokes with gold Techno forks. The old forks have seen better days and the bits were there. I'm also thinking about putting the Techno swingarm on but there's a bit more fiddling to get the rear wheel fitting right. It's …

Hi I'm a new member of this forum. I'm from near Stamford bridge on A66 and my son's and I fancy trying trial's riding. I'm a bit old really but my youngest is 12. I understand he would only be able to ride a 125 if doing any proper ACU trials but he needs to learn bike control firstly. He has risen auto bikes so far. So we are looking for starter 125 bike and maybe a 2 bike trailer. My son wants some size 6 boots if anyone has grown out of theirs and somewhere to go practicing. We hope to join Scarborough MC once we have some SH bikes but could do with somewhere closer to York really?

Hi I am 15 years old and last month I bought a Gas Gas TXT Pro 125, I am really enjoying riding and hoping to go to a trials event next year. I am obviously just an amateur rider and this is my first bike, I have already trapped my finger between the bike falling and me stupidly trying to catch it and trapping my finger between the handlebars and a metal pole. The nail is completely black and blue and will fall off in a few months, this knocked my confidences abit but I am determined to carry on riding my bike . I ride my bike usually every day, a friend of mine is going to buy a trials bike soon and he lives on a farm so we will have alot of land to play on. We will b…

Bought my first trials bike @ age 67...bucket list thing. Goal = fun & exercise. '89 Aprilia Climber w/ Yamaha 142cc 2T. Living SE Asia.

Just a quick intro, I am from Australia, and rode trials as a kid. My dad rode trials growing up in England, and introduced me to it in Aus when I was 10. I stopped at 15 and 20 years later I am back, having just bought a 2008 Scorpa SY250R for myself. Have already found some useful info on here and look forward to keeping an eye on what happens in the countries where trials riding actually exists!! Cactus Jack.

...and feeling like an excited kid all over again! Thoroughly enjoying my Scorpa. Looking to enter a trial, how do you decide what to enter, ie. Wobbler, Novice, Beginner? How do you find out where Trials are? I found the ACU East Midland events list, but they only state the club, not the location...!?!

Hi There, I have just joined the forum as it seems to be the top place for bike advice. i am currently located outside Perth in Scotland but i try as regularly as i can to ride my 1999 Bultaco/Sherco in Fort William. Not much Else to say except HELLO EVERYBODY........ Laters Rez

Hello all, i am new to Trials Central and all help is appreciated. My son has a 2005 Gas Gas txt boy. The visible part of the gear selector shaft broke so i need to replace it. I have some mechanical knowledge but it is some years since i messed about with engines. Can anyone advise on the procedure to replace the shaft and if i need any special tools. Also what parts, apart from the shaft, do i need. thanks

Hi all, Been lurking on the forum for a while to learn more about trials. No clubs here in Orkney so I'm planning to just buy a bike and teach myself the basics (with the help of this site and Youtube etc). I have no experience riding or working on any kind of motorbike so I'm as noob as they come Have plenty of land and scrap wood/metal to build my own playground with, I just need the bike lol. I'm keeping an eye on offroadmart.com, ebay and our local buy/sell group on Facebook so hoping to pick up my first bike this month so I can dive in. Cheers all Will

Hi all, Earlier this year i went on a trial intro day and had so much fun I brought one. Its a 250 gasgas and i'm a noobie, well almost. In younger years i rode a few field bikes and quads. Anyway i'm looking for buddies to ride/learn with. I live in Sutton Coldfield. Thanks.

Hey guys. I´m a 16 year old beginner trials rider from Hof in Germany. I´ve been riding for a for a few months now but only on the property and bike of Msc Stiftland Mitterteich. I don´t have a bike yet but i´m trying to get a 125 scorpa tysf as the snow finally melts (oh good (c)old Germany). Well, that´s it from me and i´m looking forward to the next season of riding when I´ll post some pictures, stories. Maybe also some stupid questions that will make the more experienced riders on this forum slam their heads against a wall several times. That´s it so far and hello to all the forum users.

Are there well known used bikes (brands, cc's, years) highly recommended for beginner adults? I've ridden lots of BMX, Mt. bike and Street bike. I'm looking for reliability, dependability (will be dropping it a lot) and reasonable price. Thanks-Bryan

Yeap, 42 and I wish I had tried trials when I was younger but better late than never! I recently purchased a 1997 Beta 260 Techno and I'm loving it. It's like trying to learn to ride all over again. I have been lurking around the site for about a week, very helpful stuff here. Looking forward to learning more and getting better. My new old toy! My Dual Sport! Go everywhere toy! And my daily rider!

Have enjoyed green laning in Cornwall for the past years until put the 81' Montesa 248 Cota in a river. Frame broken !!!!!!!!!. Now have a Montesa Honda Frame to replace the damaged article. Frame Number MH349 -00634. Has anybody got any info on to its production date. Have exhausted my brain cells going down the Jim Sandiford, Honda uk route to no avail. If you have a frame number near mine your date of production/registration would help me to get a Reconstructed Registration number.

Hi all, I am a newbie Southerner now living in Whitby. i have been riding classic scooters and motorcycles since I was 16 (currently own and ride a 2010 Triumph Thruxton 900. I am looking to get into Trials riding as a hobby

Hey there. I used to ride trials as a lad and I am just about to buy a bike before i get too damn old! So far so good. The one thing that is putting me off is the sever lack suitable places to practice in worcestershire. I intend to enter local trials but would like to make a fool of myself somewhere less public to start off with :-) Has anyone got any suggestions? Cheers Dave

Hi all Picked myself up a 4RT for myself and the kids to have a play on. Ex mechanic, with a shed full of bikes and I love engineering, so first job will be some fettling and customising. Be prepared for some daft newbie questions, as a trial is pretty much the only type of bike I've never owned or even ridden. All for now Phil
