Hi all, My rear wheel bearings are in need of replacing on my 2001 TXT 280. Does anyone know the size of the bearings and seals needed? Many thanks, John

Hi Chris, I will try and get to the trial on the 11th but will see how things go. I still need to get a trials helmet as I think my dirt bike helmet will look a bit out of place at a trials event. I also need to try and get the lowest gearing I can get on my bike. Still geared for the road at the moment. The plan was to go to the Thumpers meet and I was planning on riding my bike there but as it turned out I didn't have it finished (I've done a new top end and other bits and bobs) so I ended up working on that for the day. Hoping to venture out soon though, all being well. Thanks for the info. John

Thanks, I've dropped an email to both clubs. It seems that all the clubs that I know of who deal with older bikes are really friendly. I've done a couple of classic enduros and they have been very friendly. I really like the look of Dabbers, and they're locations for the courses aren't that far at all (I'm in Bury). Hopefully will be going to an event soon John

Hi all, I'm new on here so I hope this is the right place for this. I've been trail riding for the past year on my 1973 Honda SL125 but have also been messing around doing the odd bit of trial riding. It's something that I really do like doing but I can't force myself to sell my SL to buy a more trial orientated bike. I know that the turning circle is a bit more limited than say then TL125 and the foot pegs are slightly lower that trial bikes but what the heck Does anyone know of any trial events in or around East Anglia that cater for classic/twinshock bikes that I could enter for. Would really like to put my hand to a bit of competitive riding Thanks very much, John
