Just coming home from Donner Pass. For those of you who didn't know there was a two day vintage trials down there. For us up in Portland that meant a 4 day trip but worth every last second. http://tinyurl.com/29wmaf http://tinyurl.com/3xbjur As you can see from some of the pictures, the scenery was spectacular and the traps were outstanding. There was a huge variety of trials bikes. Everything from a DMW (Richard Mann brought that one out. He said it was his wife, Kay's) and a Saracen (I know, I had to look it up too) to tons of really Ariels and Gold Stars along with a ton of Sherpa Ts (and even some Alpinas). This was easily the best trials I've ever been too (grant…

Hi anyone tell me where the nearest trails club I can join in the South Yorks area (near Humber Bridge). Thanks

We have just had our Montesa Cota 349 (1983 model i think) clutch off to replace all of the plates. However on fixing it back together I have found there is a lot of play. The cogs all line up however there is a 3 legged plate which sits onto the clutch itself, which when the clutch lever is pulled, should be pressed into and therefore make the clutch work. But this 3 legged thing presses up against the nut which holds the clutch on rather than the clutch plates and when everything is fixed together the lever doesnt disconnect it. Its as if the clutch should be sat further out (yet it meets the cogs at the back correctly) I have had it apart a few times now and everyt…

September 23rd 2007 is the date for the Twinshock Trials enthusiast. The Wye Valley Auto Cub will be running a traditional road road based trial dedicated to Twinshock trials motorcycles. The trial will be run over a 30 mile loop taking in 12 groups, using 30 observed sections. Using many of the old Wye Valley Traders Groups in the area,plus new groups the organisers have managed to secure. The organisers are hoping to attract some of the riders of the Twinshock era from the 70s and 80s as well as many of the regulars of todays Twinshock scene. The trial will have two routes, so riders who take part in the ACU classic series and the Sammy Miller serieswill be catered…

I just got the most modern bike in my stable a 1990 Fantic 307. Are these bikes any good? I know nothing about them. Up until now I have classic machines in my collection. So far I like the bike but my wife likes it even better so I get little time on it. Any one out there have one? Steve Metz 1966/67 Cotton Villiers 1965 Greeves TFS 1966 Greeves Anglian 1971 Greeves Pathfinder 1972 Cotton Minerelli 1990 Fatic 307

Anyone have a suggestion for buying all the bits and pieces for making your own, very high quality, controll cables? I have a need to create my own cables for some custom bike projects but everyone I contact wants me to send them my old cables and they will build a new one from it. I have no old cables to send. In fact no cable exists for these bikes. Thats why I just want parts. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Aaron

i have just returned form watching the Reliance trial in the hills above buxton derbyshire. what a trial, it remeinded me of trials 30 years ago. any of you lads out there ride in it??

Hi Guys I have pics of various bikes seen at this great trial.....one small problem though!!! How on earth do you add pictures to the page???? there doesnt seem to be any info in the help section and am a bit stuck. Can anyone shed some light???? Regards Charlie

Have just re-built the carb on my 240 with all fresh bits and am trying to get it set up right. I know what worked before but it was all pretty worn then, any advice on the best practice for setting it?? Thanks .

Hi again, I've uploaded some more footage, this time of the Old Codgers Trial 2005 once again held at Hungry Hill near Aldershot. I've had tp split into three parts as You Tube will only allow 10 minute maximum file lengths. It's a lot more comprehensive than the Talmag stuff. Once again, enjoy the sight and sound of some lovely old classics in action... well the sight at least as the audio seems to have somehow escaped.. grr... I'll check at out... lol UB (part 3 to follow, once it's uploaded)

Hi Chaps, I finally managed to find time to capture, edit, and upload some video footage I took at the TALMAG Trophy Trial in 2006 Any comments welcome. Enjoy!
