Hi, Wounder if any of you may have a clue how this rider is? http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu54/pa...0_BantamBSA.jpg The photo came from a French classic website, but unfortunatley I dont remember the address, apologize. Pat

A mate asked me if the Twinshock / Aircooled Mono Championship was still running - is it? What's the eligibility for the Sammy Miller Rounds bike-wise, can't seem to find that anywhere on the web, can anyone post a link? Ta

Hi all, newbie here, I have been thinking about doing some Classic Trials, probably twin shock, I live in South Hampshire and wondered if there was anything happening round here, I cant see any point in buying a bike to have some fun if that means a 200 mile drive and only 3 times a year! Maybe its just that I cant find the info but that's the way it looks... I hope you guys can put me right. Thanks, Phil

Hey folks, Just watched a great winter time DVD of the Leroy Winters Memorial ISDT Reunion Ride. Loads of vintage bikes and an interview with Jim Holerich. Malcolm Smith and John Penton were there as well. The DVD was very reasonable and is available by emailing Jay Duchin <jayduchin@comcast.net> Below is a link to a trailer for the movie.

Went shopping at "Winfields of Haslingden" today and was surprised to see a mini museum of old bikes. Phone photos so the quality isn't great... Any gems in there?

OK folks, I am now looking at a 1978 Bultaco Alpina, model 213. Will this make a good trials bike? Other than changing the tank, seat and sprockets, is there anything else I can do? Thanks, Gordon

Hello all This is my first post on the classic part of the forum , to introduce , im from perthshire in scotland , been away from competing for about 10 yrs but , got a bike last year and started again , Ive had a 250 crusader that i rebuilt to std condition a few years ago , i have used it on the hill a few times but its quite a bit more clumsy than a b40 , and ive had a shot of a bullet that seemed to be a lot better balanced and sprung better. I'd like to have a go at the pre-65 trials and if any one had any pointers on the preparation of the crusader to improve it , some have said to put a bullet motor in it , but i have seen a couple of crusaders being …

Don't get excited - just a question. Missed the show at Telford due to work. Did anybody photograph any of the Majesty stuff?

Along with another T.C member I have been asked by the powers that be in the trials world in France to organise a trial here in my region, The South west of France. Firstly, putting on a trial in France is a costly affair apart with the permits and insurances, depending on the type of trial, closed multi lap, or longer one or two lap trials you need one or more ambulances and a doctor on standy all day ready to attend any one injured. This can add up to six hundred euros a day so you have to make sure that you will cover these basic costs, ie you have to try and encourage a decent enty. I have decided to pose the question on here, would this trial be of any interest to…

Dont forget its Alan Wrights Classic Off Road Show at Telford this weekend 24th/25th January. All the details of where it is, what time it starts, and how much it costs to get in here I will be there.....anyone else going ?? Martin

Does any one know if you can still get good 400/19 trials tyres, i had a new dunlop tyre come yesterday and quality is CRAP so it going back, i think i will be better of to rebuild the wheel to 400 /18. cheers Gary

im currently having problems with my bsa bantam d3 trails bike and was wondering if any one could offer some hints or help as i have nearly run out of ideas. ok so heres the problem. When ever i try and kick start the bike it wont start cold. The bike will bump start easily enough and once warmed up after 5 or 10 minutes will kickstart first time, every time with little effort. I have changed the spark plug for a brand new ngk plug (correct numbers) I have checked and the plug is definatly sparking. The plug gap is correct 0.018 1inch The contact breaker points gap is correct. i have cleaned the points up i have checked the air filter and it is clean The bike has…

Hi, new to all this, I've just got my hands on a Montesa Cota 200 and this bike has a chrome frame and swinging arm, the engine number and frame number match, does anyone know if this bike was made like this, and what the worth of the bike is. It's a 1980 Montesa Cota 200 in very good nick. Cheers Mick

Hi all Does anyone know where I can get a schematic diagram of how to assemble a villiers 4 speed gearbox (36a) as I have wasted a huge amount of time getting it wrong-I can only select 2 gears and you have to stamp on the gearlever to get them.

I thought that maybe some of you would like to have a look to some of the new preparations seen on the first round of the Spanish Classic Championship last 2 March in Mallorca Island. The trial was fantastic and some of the preparations where spectacular.

Just got my entry back to ride in the pre65 scottish, look forward to it, so if you see some one lying on the deck under a 1947 500t norton it will be me

Hi All, In the regs it says riders from the EU, does anyone know if entries from NZ or Australia are allowed or who could I phone/email about this please? Merry Xmas.
