September 28, 200718 yr Hello all, I'm from the Netherlands. In the 80's I owned a Fantic 240, which I used for trailriding and a little trial (no competion). I sold it after a couple of years and changed to offroad (Yamaha XT 250, later XTZ660). I bought a Guzzi Stornello 244cc SWM framedspecial in Italy, this is my favorite bike for trials. I've allways been a Guzzi man. It pulls very strong from idle and feels like a twostroke in reaction. Lots of bottompower. 2 weeks ago a bought a very nice original TY250 1975, which needs sprockets, chain and rearshocks. Today I got offered a Kawasaki KT250, partly restored, at a smallprice. Frame, seat and exhaust/muffler are restored. The rest needs attention in the coming winter. But the Yamaha comes first. Then I will decide what to do with the Kawasaki. There are not many places where you can legally make use of your trialbike. I have to drive 100 km. to reach 2 trialclubs in the middle of the Netherlands. This means I can't ride as much as I like to. I will try to post pics of my bikes in the coming weeks. Kind regards, Arie Bottinga, the Netherlands
