jsp Report post Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) New sticker kit fitted this weekend, just not sure what to do with the wheels the front one has the factory rim tape on and the the rear is my spare wheel with the s3 rim tapes. I have got some rim tapes in the sticker kit but they only cover half a wheel Edited April 6, 2017 by jsp 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lotus54 Report post Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) I rode a trial, first in well over a year. I'm a novice, although tried intermediate last year with pretty good results. I wanted to get my head back in it, so did novice class. I got 1 point darn, one dumb dab (not a hard spot either) and wrecked probably the only perfect score I'll ever get ! HA! Loads of fun and the trusty OSSA ran great. The seat doesn't get in my way for how I ride- since I ride it like this so much, I'd rather know exactly what it is going to do rather than have to re-learn.

daveraw70s Report post Posted March 6, 2017 When I was introduced into Trials I brought home a OSSA picture from the local bike shop, Norman Crooks of Northallerton. I had this picture on my wall for two years before I managed to buy a bike. First bike was a Bultaco so never got my MAR but I did buy a Verde a few years later before I went working overseas and giving up Trialing. So fast forward 35years and I have my MAR and also treated myself to the TR280i as this has got to be a classic for my boys 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

breagh Report post Posted April 4, 2017 Pretty neat I've never seen one of these in the flesh . My standard 300s so light this must feel like a pushbike. Just a wild rumour I heard "Gas Gas" were going to start making that Ossa engine be great if they did . 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a wild rumour I heard "Gas Gas" were going to start making that Ossa engine be great if they did . was told there were only 3 in the US... likely under 10 in the world. It's WAY more bike then I ever would need, but scored a great deal on a trade for my 990 Adv so jumped on it. Just now learning how to not flip it. :).. So much more power than my old GG txt 280. Yes, I've heard that about GasGas as well, I do hope they pick up the motor design, could be good for us oddball Ossa riders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
