Helo Everyone: New member here from sunny So. California. I really like visiting this site and seeing and reading all your stories and bikes. I've aquired a TL250 that was left to rot, hurt my heart to see that so I brought it home gave her a bath put her in a warm garage and started to disasemble her. Well now I'm itching to ride, so I've begun to reasemble her. She a bit battered but I'll see if she starts. if she does yippy! Anyway just want to say hello to you all. I'll be looking here for some answers if I come up with any problems.

Hello again; I'm also interested in the Ossa Explorer trying to find more videos on the bike. The videos on youtube kinda suck. So if anyone has a better review can you please share.

Hi RedRudster

Here is a thread about the Ossa Explorer - http://www.trf.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=15780&sid=66b81dea0e4874ff1e7f2dd932728966&start=10

I'm interested in this type of bike for riding long distance trials in the UK. I was thinking about buying one myself but ended up buying the Sherco X-Ride instead because the first year Explorer seemed to have a few reliability issues including gearbox problems, the later versions seem much better. The KTM FreeRide is a similar bike but slightly bigger - not so suitable for trials, the Beta Alp is a bit old fashioned but a useful trials bike as well.

All of these latest generation trail bikes are great fun, light, low and tractable compared to enduro bikes.

Best Regards

Sam W.
