cubby Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Went to Cyprus on holiday this summer and wondered if they had Trials there as a sport. They have rallying, obviously loads of bikes around, I figured surely someone somewhere must do it. Also with the large British influence there over the years I would have thought it's possible. Anyone know anything as next time I'm there I wouldn't mind checking it out, loads of brilliant terrain out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 There was a guy doing trials out there (North side,Turkish), he had a bunch of Scorpas for hire but I don't know if he's still in business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespikeyone Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) There was a guy doing trials out there (North side,Turkish), he had a bunch of Scorpas for hire but I don't know if he's still in business? there were a load of scorpas for sale on ebay, the guy said he bought seven to take them to cyprus but they were impounded cos they couldn't be road reg over there because all bikes have to have a seat to be road legal !!!! something like that anyway wonder if its the same bloke?

We stay in Paralimni on the east side of the Island, maybe too far from you? There looks to be great places to ride trials on the Island, I would love to get out and have a ride!
