Well your right and my ankle is cold. Yes my father was a well (digger) boring that is. I didn't get into the family business. In Southern Ontario we got hit with 25-35 cm of snow, thick heavy and wet. Trials bike is put up in the garage for a couple of weeks. Although the temperature is fairly mild at -3*C. It's suppose to get up to +10 during the week. Well tomorrow or today for some of you folks is Ground Hog Day here in Canada and The US. Wiarton Willie is buried in a snow bank and probally won't see his shadow. Alas 6 more weeks of winter here in Canada. At least we get a holiday in a couple of weeks. Robert

I have emailed Italjet on their website and I am awaiting a response. The engine was a "bultaco" based engine. I believe that alot of the parts are available from various distributors i.e. cables, shocks, brake shoes can be relined, hard plastic like fenders. Engines have a Nickasil chrome bore and somebody may make a piston? My bike is pretty much original, although I don't have the headlight option anymore. I will post something if I find out anything.

Hi Steve; I believe we met in Calgary or Edmonton in the mid 1980's, I was at a National trials round in Nordegg riding area. My brother Don had bought the Italjet with a bunch of his buddy's from around Brantford. I think Pete Varey had a 350 T which he rode in a world round in Owen Sound sometime back then. I used to trials ride with the Waznie's in Brantford. Jordan Szoke's dad Bob, is a good friend of mine. I had to give it up for a while, as life got in the way. I will try the link for the ATA club to see if I can get in contact with Neil or Steve. Robert

Hi, everybody I just found this site in the middle of searching for some Italjet Trials 250 parts. I currently own a 1981 Italjet Trials 250 in Southern Ontario, Canada. 60 miles west of Toronto. The bike was purchased by my younger brother new back in 1982. There was 6 machines in Brantford at one time I am told. My brother rode Junior trials in the Canadian Motorcycle Association for a few seasons. Then he sold the bike to me. I am wondering if anyone knows any connections with Italjet dealers? I did get some points and condensor and a flywheel tool from a dealer in the Boston Mass area a few years back. Cheers Robert
