I am not any where near up to speed in the tech department with trials.... I have a 2006 2.9 and noticed that the end box has a weld line through the middle as if it had been spilit in half for some reason. Seeing other 2.9s, I realised this was only on mine. The exhaust note is very crackley, but the bike runs perfectly. Can anyone shed any light on if this is a mod and what it is for? Thanks

I'm back from the wilderness and sniffing around for a couple of novice/wobblers trials over May and June. I've spotted a few trials, but the web information doesn't always say where it is/what time it starts/ does it have novice sections.... Thanks for any info that anyone can give.

It looks like i may soon be the owner of a shiney Sherco 290.... Any more comments or votes before I commit?

As previously posted, I have recently returned to trials after a big lay off, and was never up to much of a standard due to just mucking about on the farm as a kid and not entering trials. BUT it is now all systems go and I am full of beans and enthusiasm to really have a go at getting a lot of practice in to improve and enter trials. I currently own the Scorpa and I am enjoying it. But.... I have the option of getting an immaculate 2006 Sherco 290 for a good price. I have ridden a 2005 Sherco 290 a few times and it feels good. Is the 290 going to prove to be a bit of a handfull? or is that scare mongering from some quarters? Help! Your comments would be much appreciated, thanks...

Many thanks for your replies. I will be working away for 3 weeks in April , so my first chance will be after May Bank Holiday Weekend. If anyone can recommend any for then, I'm going to get my ACU card sorted and enter one to break my self back in! Thanks again

To be honest, I only rode a couple of trials back in the day. I mainly rode at the farm I used to live on, I doubt I was "Expert". I reckon beginner and see where it goes from there...

No no no, I have not owned/ridden the TY80 for 23 years

There you go... Only joined 10 mins ago, gimme chance

I'm back into trialing after a 23 year absence. I'm looking to enter a trial, how do you decide what to enter, ie. Wobbler, Novice, Beginner? How do you find out where Trials are? I found the ACU East Midland events list, but they only state the club, not the location...!?! I know TMX news has events in it, but I cannot find it in the newsagents and I could do with planning a few weekends well in advance. Thanks if you can help a late thirties kid ease back into the saddle... (damn, no saddles these days, must get up to speed! )

...and feeling like an excited kid all over again! Thoroughly enjoying my Scorpa. Looking to enter a trial, how do you decide what to enter, ie. Wobbler, Novice, Beginner?
