November 18, 200520 yr Stealing the idea from the other thread. We've talked about a trials bike with a seat for comfort on the loop and trail riding. What about a serious competition machine based on a trials bike used for endouro cross. Something similar to the Montesa with the seat in another thread. Of course it has to be convertable back to a trials only machine. Probably needs a little bigger tank too. The seating position needs to be set up for competition though and not necessarily comfort (maybe height adjustable).
November 18, 200520 yr Brian that's a top drawer idea ! I couldn't agree with you more. I believe the trials world needs to go one step farther and make a rule that trials bikes must have a minimum tank size of one gallon and a real useable seat. That way trials bikes could be used again for trail bikes and sold to the general motorcycle population again. I also believe that Geoff would win the Endurocross going away on a trials bike.
November 18, 200520 yr Lane, Check out the Scorpa T ride.T-ride This is just the ticket to win an endurocross. Ciao DFW
November 18, 200520 yr Check out this 4t Gas Gas Pampera. I thought the 4 stroke version was called the Pamtesa
November 20, 200520 yr That style of bike would be just the ticket! In the finals only one 4-Stroke made it in however and it was not compeditive! All the other 4 stroke bikes fell by the wayside in the preliminary races. Are the 2-Strokes better?
November 21, 200520 yr Glad to have you back from the Swirling Vortex of Planet Manyourgone, Beave, and this is why. You crack me up. On what planet, and how many light years from now would a Trials bike be able to take a beating like pro level Endurocross, for an entire evening of competition? If you, oops, I mean Geoff Aaron rode it that hard and fast for the same amount of time, over the same course, at the end of the night he would have to scoop up the pieces with a snow shovel and throw them in the back of the truck with the rest of the empty beer cans. The bike would "Yard Sale" itself all over the arena floor. If you did all the right modifications to a Trials bike to make it competitive, it would look and act suspiciously like a CRF 250, but would cost a fortune. Don't forget... you must get over the obstacles... FAST! VERY FAST!!!
