bwolfe, Just wondering if you are coming down to Indiana, May 8th. to the bike trials event? sam

WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THERE IS TWO HEAD PIPES?

Just walked in from riding with a Unicyclist, WOW! I just can not believe the stuff this kid can ride, like jumping from the center of a log pile out and over with a 4' drop. If you have not ridden with a uni rider you be amazed of the stuff they attempt and make! I just can not believe it. Well, now I'm headed out to dig a grave for my motorcycle, it's over! I've been riding this huge log pile for months, trying to get the final clean, then this youngster shows up and on the first try gets a clean. It changes a mans mind rapidly, my wife keeps telling me to take up gardening, maybe its time! sam I'am with chickens that lay green eggs!

Which do you think is more physical, bike- trials , moto-trials?

I have a 6' tall fuel drum, would like to cut into, I have a plasma cutter but wondering how to go at this? The drum was used for house fuel. I was told stand it on end, have a hole at the bottom and one at the top, which it does, and then pipe car exhaust into the drum, fill it up and It would be safe for cutting? Or should I fill it half with water, then pipe in some exhaust. Maybe I should abort the whole mission and job it out. Input would be appreciated! Thanks, sam

What do you mean by center box?

Just looking for Ideas, not sure what fits the budget? I imagine medals are the most affordable.

Just wondering what awards cost? What works best, trophy's, plaques, medals.

Trialsurfer, Do you guys add any more filter protection, or tape off your vent holes on the seat? The Monty air cleaner system seems so tight the way it is, I'm confused with the other post on this subject.

Jay, Thank you for the solid answer, This 03 Montesa is a real treat to ride!

I'am not sure, but I think Ot Pi, is in his 40's. Good to know bicycle trials is not just for kids!

Jay, Are people leaving out the bolts in the headstock, I see some one has put just little bumpers on the fork tree of my bike, I'am not real clear on this, yet! sam

Will give it a shot, I'll have to prepare mentally for the drive, from Pittsburg to Harrisburg, 60 mph and the most narrow stretch of high way I've ever seen!

Has any clubs in the US tried to run a bicycle trials along with a moto event, or is it a insurance mess?

How important is rear wheel moves in bike-trials, are they needed in the sport level class.

I just noticed to small rubber pads on the fork tree that must be bumpers for hitting the frame, I guess people leave those bolts out for a tighter turning radius. Looking at all these plonker press issues, I notice nobody really uses fork gaurds. I'am so impressed with this air cleaner box, I see why there is little disscussion on rebuilding the the motor! sam

I'am in the US, should I order a stock part like this from Matin Belair?

I notice on the montesa I just purchased that two bolt/stoppers are not on the headstock, they keep the fork tree from slamming the frame. Should they be there or do you remove them for tighter turns? sam

Hey, I notice two bolts are missing that are stoppers to keep the fork tree from slamming into the frame, should they be there?

I'am the proud owner of a barely used 03 Montesa. Would like to know what gaurds you may have found to be worth the money? I see there is long fork gaurds and short fork gaurds, aluminum ones and carbonfiber. Also, case covers, head pipe protectors and so on. The gaurd for a thrown chain looks like money well spent. Please list any more Ideas and also dealers who carry these Items and stock parts. This machine is scratchless, I'am really having a hard time wanting to ride it, I'am in the (stare at it stage of ownership). Sam

Any new's on this new trials bike?

biketrials.com is offering a mod bike called a TANK for 199.00 usd.

It just seems like bike trials is a great way to train and yet save from destroying your moto. Another thing is trying scary drops and gaps ect... it seems to help with building confidence, courage! What is your input on bike trials?
