March 4, 200818 yr Author Never mind the bike's Greeves.Did you win the Trial on that old Bird of your's. Hi Steve: I was 6th in green category, 12 sections 2 laps and a trial short of time, so I had to rush in the second lap without checking the sections. 2 silly fiascos in the second lap took me there. The bike is FANTASTIC.

March 7, 200818 yr Author I wonder if modern bikes also take part in Spanish classic events? They do here in the UK, and not sure that this is really a good idea, as it seems to make it very difficult to mark suitable sections for all riders. No majestyman340, no modern bikes in the Spanish Classic Champ. There are 4 categories at the moment Master (Red) extremely tough, pilots like Gomez (125cc. world champ.) and some other very good pilots race here, just think Gomez did not win in Mallorca. Expert (blue) tough, Trialeros (green) and Clasicos (Yellow) being this last the easy one. Inside green, the most popular, you can choose Pre-72, Pre-77 or Twinshock. There are some technical restrictions in the Pre categories, for example you must use the original engine, carburettor, original hubs, yokes, frame..... You can choose your level, but to descend to a lower level you need the permit of the Federation (they will give it depending of your last results). To mark sections with 4 different levels inside is not easy, so trials must be done in places where there is a lot of place where to choose. In Mallorca we raced arround a 100 pilots, and it is the less popular race (but the trial is so good!!!), as almost all the pilots need to send the bike there and travel to an island. Normally we race 150, 200 pilots like in Robregordo. You can have a look to our classic champ. in www.sotobikesport.com Edited March 7, 200818 yr by Greeves

March 26, 200818 yr WOW! you made my day! I have never seen so much vintage trials eye candy at one time
December 20, 200817 yr I see the handy work of Jose Luis Rodriguez....."EL PUMA"! I'm really glad I've found this site, these are probably the most beautiful Bultaco's I have ever seen. Does this "El Puma" guy have a website? I'd love to see more.. Wayne.....
