al_orange Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 That of all the brands, it seems like TRS riders are the most likely to go full "power ranger" with the TRS clothing? Do they come cheap with the bike or does the bike attract a certain type (like with BMWs). I'm a tart and I'd like a shiny new TRS RR but I don't think I could bring myself to wear the kit too... But then I'm a fat old man.. Thoughts? ? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Maybe they just like yellow. If so, in theory they'll have the following personality traits: Impulsive, analytical, strongly independent, unemotional, spontaneous, irritable, arrogant and, though I wouldn't suggest this is necessarily related to buying a TRS but perhaps to wearing the garb, pretentious, with a tendency to spend money unwisely.

jonnyc21 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) I think it might be the if I am spending the money on a new bike I might as well match thing... However I am often mistaken in my guessing. ? ? Edited December 19, 2018 by jonnyc21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Being that the average rider is over 40 I just don't know where the idea of brightly coloured skin tight clothing comes about. Frankly most trials gear would be considered to camp for strictly, stick to MTB gear or MX at least you can look sensible even though your riding may indicate other wise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oni nou Posted December 19, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) At one time people used to all wear black or olive green belstaff and Barbour wax cotton and flat caps, that gave way to two colour plastic coated cloth suits and horse riding crash hats then all in one boiler type suits and onto track suits with stripes down the sides and in the 90's everything was Pink ..........people have always dressed ridiculously in trials ...they could not get away with it on the street as people have got to conform or they would be beaten to a pulp by the usual suspects so its an excellent way of releasing their inner 'Liberace' and not ending up in hospital......oddly these are usually the same people that think art students that dress in an unconventional manner and punk rockers look ridiculous.

al_orange Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 But seriously... Why specifically the TRS owners?? Is it that some really good riders are going to TRS and they're the ones most likely to go for the "factory" look? I've also noticed the riders seem to have a more aggressive hop and bop riding style. Is that the bike or the rider?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section swept Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Its a bling thing....Power Ranger one piece leathers for super bike owners....must match the bike colours. So it follows for trials riders, it not by chance these leotard devices the top riders wear are made of stretchy (very in some cases) lycra and offered to the public to shoe horn themselves into. Totally missing the point about looking lythe and athletic. Barbour and Belstaff were able to cover a wide (literally) range of body shapes and disguise many of us as a part of the crowd. You could bash through hedges and snag bushes without even a ladder appearing in yer tights? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feetupsbetter Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Ha ha that’s a funny observation but it’s always been so. There has, and always will be, ‘tarts’ in all walks (rides ?) of life, that need to buy into the latest fashion accessories and they will pay through the nose for it to make themselves feel good. I just take quiet comfort from the fact that as a very (below) average plodder, with a bike & kit that together’s worth half a three year old machine, I still sometimes beat the tart on his 7k bike plus fancy gear and a 30k day van to transport it in ! Oh the delight of that results email ! Just let em do it & smile to yourself on the way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 TRS is like the new Gas Gas. The riders looking to better themselves tend to dress the part. My son has gone this way and wears the skin tight pajama`s. But no TRS gear yet. Our club special orders our own club gear every year. Jersey, pants and Jacket.
