Hi Brass: just email the link on the MototrialsAlberta site and you will get a reply!

Well, it seems the official press release will not be out until after the Easter weekend now. I can tell you that the news involves a ground breaking partnership in the sport between the USA and Canada... sorry that is all I can say at this moment. It is however an extremely positive step towards the future of the sport in North America. Sorry Don, will work on the anti-gravity issue at a later date. ha ha

Some very exciting news will be announced about the future of Trials in North America next week! Stay tuned!

So.........I tell you that TRS is brilliant!!

Dan, there is NO bickering over our National Championships. In the sporting world of Trials, there is only one Sanctioned Federation for each country that is recognized throughout the World of the sport.For that there is NO debate. It seems the only issue we have is mis-informed riders. The events from coast to coast will all be fun. I too have had nothing but great experiences riding with the ATAQ, and as well the time I have spent riding in New England. Steve

Hey Evolution, no worries so don't think twice.You were right to question the name, It is rather silly.I could go on and tell you the real story but it doesn't apply here. We have some great riding up here in Canada. You will enjoy any event you go to. There is no civil war, but unfortunately a small group of mis-informed people who use the internet and facebook to further confuse what is a great group of people. It will sort itself out pretty shortly. The truth is always the winner! Keep your feet up and have fun. Steve

Dabster: yes sales will be the decider for sure, you kettle......apparently me stove. I think Forrest Gump said it best, Geezer is, as Geezer does. FYI, the report wasn't from my son ( spelt Fracy) as he only got to ride the bike for an hour the week before. I attempted to write a fair review of the bike after riding it pretty much for the day. I don't think too many people have had a chance to see one yet, let alone spend a day on one. I had hoped it would be seen neutral, as I rode a GG last year (which I loved) and several Beta's before that. It was not intended to be a my bike is better than yours dispute. We do agree on the fact that there are too many bikes in a small market.

Dabster, look at the bright side though.... you got to see a pic of me and, more importantly a nice shot of the TRS at the top of our clubs property overlooking the beautiful city of Victoria BC

WTC events do not require a membership or have fees because they are not a sanctioning body as they claim. There are no members, therefore no membership fees.

Regardless of what bike I may think is better, I would not ever say Beta is not built well.

Unfortunately you wont find much truthful information on "TrialsCanada| about the WTC. And yes WTC does stand for World Trials Championships.NO they are NOT attached with anything.The World Trials Championship is run by the World Governing body for motorcycle sport, the FIM. Each country has an official federation that is part of the FIM family. In the USA that is the AMA. In Canada, it is the CMA. "World Trials Canada" has nothing to do with either.In fact it is not recognized by ANY Trials sporting association, other than itself.

For what its worth, I have just spent a day riding the TRS and put a small report on the TRS thread. Ive ridden and liked both Beta and GG.

I have just been fortunate enough to spend an entire day riding the new TRS One. The only bike so far here in Canada. I have ridden all kinds of bikes and my last bike was a GG Racing 300. I hope I can bring an objective review of what I saw and felt riding it. First off, the build quality is exceptional. Lots of little things make me think that a RIDER had a lot to do with the design ( Thank you Jordi). The feel to ride the bike is that its very light. The riding position is absolutely perfect. I am 6ft tall and cant remember the last bike I had that I felt so perfect on..... The center of gravity seems very low and I found the bike very easy to balance and to move the rear wheel around. As far as the overall handling of the bike, it was so good and made me feel confident, and tracked so well and incredibly stable. I attribute this to the aluminum frame and rear suspension linkage design. I am a big fan of aluminum framed bikes and this tiny rigid frame I love. The clutch feel is very good and by far the best clutch I have ever had on any bike I have ridden. Beta, Sherco, GG. I don't know what they have done with the brakes as they look to be standard, but they are incredibly strong, and this was noticed by everyone who rode it. Everything just seems to be in the right position and very comfortable to ride. It grips incredibly well. The transmission is for me a lot better than the GG in the way it shifts. NO big crunch going into fourth gear, and it shifts with a definite and nice clicking motion. The ratios are absolutely perfect, and I was skeptical about the 5 speed as I am not a fan from riding Shercos. The TRS ratios are perfect, with 1st through 4th all evenly spaced and usable in sections, with 5th being your road gear/ Overall the feel of the bike was familiar but even better than I had expected. I loved it and cant wait to get mine

Not sure why you would say production keeps getting pushed back? They are in full production. Demand is very high and right now they are trying to get as many bikes to as many places as they can.

Anyone can ride any one of these events, but, if you would like to contend for the Provincial Championship then you will need to purchase a CMA competition licence.

Its a very in depth artlicle! The first one arrived in Canada yesterday. My son will get a chance to test ride it this Sunday.

Better! and a World #2 rider on it, unlike the TY

Hello Senor Greeves. I have tried to send you a personal message but it says you cannot receive them. What is the best way to contact you? Thank you

As are the Evo;s......so what magic can occur with a GG type motor in a lighter aluminum frame?? cant wait

Glenn, I will be starting a new build very soon as well to be used for a very special event! I will try and keep pace with you! Where did the tank/seat unit come from? You can also email me if easier! :-)

As per the press release posted by the CMA, our National Sanctioning body, this years Canadian Trials Championships have been awarded to Saskatchewan and the FLTA and will be held Aug 20/21 in the small town of Bengough. It is going to be a very unique event and one that should not be missed by riders in Canada who want to experience that " European" feel without leaving the country! The entire town of Bengough will act as host to this event with many activities and festivities planned, including beer gardens for spectators, and a dinner planned for riders and workers. It's a significant event as it also celebrates the 67th running of this prestigious Championship in Canada. The event itself will be held in a very special location known as the " Big Muddy Valley" that is actually noted as one of Canada's wonders that is a must see! The badlands of Saskatchewan with giant hoodoos rising up from the ground. The event headquarters will be centered right in the middle of the town where riders will gather in the " Park Ferme" similar to the SSDT, before they head out through the streets of town to make their way to the loop trail! It will be for sure a very special event, and being generally centrally located in the country, it will offer a great opportunity for riders from both sides to join and enjoy two days of great competition and soak in the atmosphere and hospitality of rural Saskatchewan. Further info with pictures and video will be available as the event draws closer! Steve

How much for the 330 and pics if you have them? :-)

edited but not spell checked...........lol

So you are just speculating?
