February 9, 201016 yr Hello Chaps, One for you Old School Bultaco Boys...(Legs included) Motosinge83 Edited June 5, 20251 yr by motosinge83
February 10, 201016 yr Mr Singe, It's interesting to see how trials bikes geometry & engine position has changed over the years. Not mentioning bar position. A couple of weeks ago I rode a trial on a 79 350. Fortunately it was an easy SE centre twinshock event as the brakes were an early version of anti-lock. The bike was particularly superb on climbs & turns into climbs, I was always aware my body was so far over the front, yet the bike kept driving & gripping... You could tell it was set-up for non stop flowing sections. Fun to ride though. Mike

February 10, 201016 yr Moto, Yep, you got me there... Never kept that 250 long - it seemed to self destruct / decompose really quickly. Got tempted by the TL250. Now that was a tank.
February 12, 201016 yr I had only been at TMX two months then, and as I recall the bike was awesome - then, but perhaps not now. It was also back in the days when I had a bit of hair. However, some 32 years on, still riding - and writing!
