January 25, 201313 yr Baily Tuckers attempt,, notice,,,no kicker,, these kids do some crazy stuff...this is just a local club trial..we try and set them so they get used to national level sections.
January 25, 201313 yr Just to get back to the topic. TY250 vs OSSA MAR Now try to ignore the riders the Ossa is mine the Majesty sadly not.
January 25, 201313 yr Well OTF, when you present the evidence so concisely, TY wins. Micks feelings will be hurt
January 25, 201313 yr Author Yes,the way it,s presented by OTF the Yamaha definitely wins!!! I hope Mick will forgive me. I must add though,very nice Ossa OTF!
January 26, 201313 yr I'm getting so old that I look at the Yam photo and worry that she'll hurt her toe (not camel ) when that sidestand touches down? Edited January 26, 201313 yr by ham2

I'm a very safety-conscious person, but I totally missed the big toe/kickstand mishap-waiting-to-happen. I blame "side-beaver...."

Knew Pete, Thomas and Nick very well after school and every weekend we all used to ride on the old tip at Sawley firstly on old road bikes then Trials bikes which led us into competition eventually. Those first TY A models were a revelation at the time. I couldnt believe what a step forward they were over what we had. However i've always had a soft spot for the MAR possibly as i've known Mick since the late 60's and had Chris Millners old Pennine which even with Micks help never got on with. Way too much of a monster that bike plus with all that fibreglass was BIG. When the MAR came along it was a revelation although i dearly would have loved Micks prototype OSSA which was a dream bike. They are both good bikes and i suppose it boils down to emotion at the end of the day. Sawley tip, now there's a place I haven't heard of in years. I live in Sawley and learnt to ride bikes on there in the mid 70s First bike I ever had a go on was a MAR250 a mate paul tivey had, so still have a soft spot for the OSSA. every Saturday n Sunday all day we would be on there. come the 6 weeks school hols, it would be 7 days aweek lol great times, a sad day when it ended up a golf course . The 2 guys I hung around with most back then was Paul Tivey and Mick Extance Riding their bikes, OSSA/Bultaco and TY175's back then, is the reason I decided last year to get a twinshock and start doing some trials. something I should have done back then, but at least I'm doing it now, instead of never.
