Classic Trials

Last weekend in Montecrestese on the Alps, third round of the national championship: Memorial Ettore Baldini hot and dry weekend here some picture https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOdgvvRU6qGhIiUNCntRIuog5avtwoGQxImGbqnxCBj28F3Ae6bfvFk-vJIIyjaFg?key=Y2JDQXFWWFBoN2I1cFJlanhaUGZFQXVob3NFc29R

I took the plunge...ferry is booked. Not sure if the 340 will make it or last....mmm? I will take the 240 as a spare. Who is riding? Bob Gent again? Will he win it...I

Just a quick thanks for a great trial today,although i ride a modern mono,i find the sections perfect for my level [average]. I know some do,nt like moderns riding a classic trial,but hey would it be viable without them?Cheers

As a first time visitor to the P65 & SSDT which sections are the better ones to watch the action and whereabouts are they, what time do you need to be there, what are the must do things etc? Thank you in advance. TRF

It is with sadness I convey news of the passing of DOT club stalwart, BMCA trials organiser and Trials Central contributor, Al Usher. Known to many for his "Hammertight" musings in the DOT Club Journal he will be greatly missed by many and our thoughts are with his family.

Just bought a HT5 and looking for some advice, it has an Amal premier carb on it and looking for setup advice and tuning?it starts and runs nice but the air mixture screw is wound in fully also has magneto ,points and a coil which a few people have said is strange ? any Advice much appreciated

Theres an hour long program on Men & motors (Sky ch131) starting at 8.00pm on the recent Stafford Classic Bike show, i would have posted this earlier but only just found it.

Has anyone on here built a Bantam Cub ?? Just wondered about the engine mounts, were they completely different or modified ?? Anyone have a pic of a trials Bantam Cub. I think I've seen one but not sure. They were produced late 60s early 70s as road bikes.

I've recently bought a nice original old Sprite trials, Villiers 37A powered. Anyone tell me the location of the frame number? I'd like to try and get an age related registration on it if possible, any advice on how to get one would be appreciated.

ok tony calvert won on 1 mark, great consistent ride which section did he loose the dab any one ? what about the rest of the results do they get posted , or is there a web site to view them . dont suppose i won 1 of those nice piston trophys

Hi, Does anyone know the colour(red) of the earliest Sprites and what the graphics were like( ??? 'Sprite '..handwritten)? As much detail as possible please. I'd also like to hear from as many Sprite owners as possible please. Steve

Results and photos from the Normandy MCC Goodwin Shield pre 67 and twin shock trial, held on February 15th can be found from the link below http://www.normandymcc.co.uk/events.html

I have a tiger cub with the engine # T20 97513, Could someone tell me the date of manufacture?

After a little hiatus, both riding and also writing, have made some updates to the twinshock.org.uk website, including - pictures of another Beta TR240 twinshock, thats in better looking condition than mine - same owners piccies of his Gaunt Suzuki ....ridden by the man himself in that years Scottish - and how to fry a 1980 SWM 320TL on a hill climb / T&O event I'll be at the Classic (in)Experts on Saturday, will bring the camera and hopefully get back to more reports and blogging. I also bought a Pampera this week; (the last monoshock i had was when a Betor shock fell off the Jumbo at a Wye Valley trial) but i'm looking to keep it quiet.Did its first section ye…

I have acquired a 74 TL125 with a Chinese carb, and the OEM junk carb. Some research I did a long time ago said that a mid 70's XR 75 Carb was the same just jetted differently, anyone know of a better option or have one to sell?

Hello, I read much about people using a Villiers carb on their HT5 projects, so starting to think about whether it might be work experimenting with one on my 400cc G3. Is anyone out there using a Villiers carb on a 16M or G3 based machine? Any thoughts/comments as to size or mods for running a Villiers on an AMC bike? Thanks......

Does anyone here on TC know anything of the Moon Trophy Trial which I believe was held in the Staffordshire/Derbyshire area in the 1960s. Which club ran this event in what years and who rode in it?

Entries are now CLOSED. The maximum of 120 riders has been reached.

Would just like to say thanks to all the organisers and observers at the Nostalgia yesterday , brilliant trial , all sections sensible but some testing to sort the men from the boys . weather was terrible so again thanks to the observers who had to stand out in the rain, top job all round.
