Hello fellow trials riders! Decided to expand my small world at advrider in the Trials (where does my ass go?) section to do more than read posts on this excellent Trials Central forum. So hello, all. I love trials bikes and riding and especially the technical/engineering side. I reside in Oklahoma, USA on our Buffalo Dream Ranch. I've retired from design engineering and manufacturing, and now do cows, chickens, vacation rentals, wilderness property hiking tours, trials, and rider training. I am very fortunate to have many acres of fantastic trials terrain right out my back door, and fertilized by Belted Galloway cow pies. Getting humbled trying t…

Been very active in bikes all my life mostly motocross, was away from it for about ten years, I did have a TY175 for awhile about 12 years ago and loved playing on it, always wanted to get a better newer trials bike and finally snagged an older 1996 beta Techno. Its winter here now and cold as hell but am getting very eager to get riding again. My 21 year old son, a Motocross guy never really understood my desire for trials until no. He had the opportunity to try out the Beta and I think maybe some day he will convert, I know he will, he seemed to love it . so this is my start in trials, and hopefully will keep it going and see what it brings me, maybe if all goes as pla…

Good day, all fellow UK Trials riders. I currently have moved to the UK I'm staying in Surrey currently but moving in 2 weeks to a place I found in Sevenoaks! I'm looking for any friendly riders that could assist me obtaining information about it here. ie where to ride, what club to join, 2nd hand good cond bikes to purchase, what licenses I would need. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I had to wait a long time for my first Bultaco Sherpa T 350, but the wait is over. I found a 1975 M151 in really good condition and have been riding a bit everyday, My older muscles remind me of that daily! I wish I would have had done this 30 years ago! These bikes are great! I would like to see them manufactured all over again. The bike is sharp to look at and a blast to ride! I just wish there were more classic trails organizations out here in western Pennsylvania. Any tips on keeping this Bull running great would be greatly appreciated. A great day to All,

fantastic to be on here,totally digging the trials scene

Hi I am new to trials but loving it. live in Perthshire and am lucky enough to have access to a proper trial course anytime behind my house. I have a jtx320 and loving it but it has developed some problems.

Hi everyone, The Site looks really Good and very Helpful. I Have recently bought a Honda TL250 and in the process of Restoring I have just got a Age related Number Plate Will Post Some pictures Dave.

Hi all. Grew up riding trials bikes in my youth (Bultaco Sherpa's/Montesa Cota's), before moving onto road bikes. Currently run a 1996 Yamaha GTS 1000 on the road, and bought a road registered 1998 Gas Gas TX270 last week. Plan was to scoot about various quiet brown field industrial sites around the East End of Glasgow, departing before I attract any attention, however will likely contact the Bob McGreggor academy having found them on the net. Would love to hear how long other newbies took before taking part in events? Is it something you can just give a go if your bold enough, or have you got to go through "peer" training/assessment/qualification before being allow…

Hello all. Got my hands on a Aprilia TX311M from a work client who has no interest in it. It had been left out in the rain for at least a year and needs worked on - doesn't even roll at the moment, think it is stuck in gear?. Thought it would make a decent project for the weekends (and hey - free bike!!!). Been searching the google machine and am having trouble finding a workshop manual. So far only got a parts and frame list. Anyone got one or know where to find one? Thanks in advance. Adam picture of bike included.

A big "howdy" from Hillsdale Michigan. Been riding trials since the mid 90's and my current ride is a 2012 Ossa 280i. Just joined to get some advice on my Ossa. I am the chief engineer for Cobra Moto, so if anyone has questions for 50cc & 65cc motocross bikes. Feel free.

Hi folks! Been several years since I last had a go at trials, wasn't very good at it, but times ticked by and I've decided to have another go at it. Got a bit more time on my hands for practice now so perhaps might be a bit more successful! Looking for clubs in the South Lakes area.....oh and a bike as well! Nick

My son rode trials for years............. A 250 Sherpa and a TL125... Bikes have changed since then......

Hi - I've been putting around a buddy's yard on his TL250 for a bit and finally picked up this TL125 yesterday. Runs and rides, needs some things. Planning on riding at Barber this year.

Well I finally gave in to the desire and added a trials bike the the clutter that fills the garage. As if that wasnt enough it meant buying the lad one too (easier to justify spending endless hours out with the guys if you take the lad with you ). Anyway i've bought an old Sherco 290 and a Gas Gas 125 for the lad. What i know about bikes you could write on the back of a stamp and still have room for a pic of Lizzy. Are there any helpful words of wisdom, videos or info that would help me get started with basic maintenance (cleaning, servicing, etc) Thanks and looking forward to umpteen hours of fun both on and off the bikes.

Hows it going all? Just thought I'd say a quick hi and a thank you for all the helpful info that's been posted on here, I've already learned allot and not been for a proper ride yet. Just picked up a 2004 Sherco 290 to play on, just need some where to ride the thing now! Signed up to a couple of local clubs, so hopefully get a bit of practice in pretty soon ready for my first trial Stuck balancing in the garage for a minute or two, it's not as easy as it looks!!! I've already come to the conclusion this is going to be a steep learning curve, and I haven't even tried riding up a slippery slope yet :/ I fear I maybe pestering some of you for help soon... Lol. …
