piston rings by the sounds of it, first thing i'd look at anyway.

Thanks for that sam/neils on wheels, thats reassuring, yes it seems in good nick, yep about the schoolboys on the 125's lol...i've seen them on youtube and i dont plan on doing anything like that..i'm about 10 1/2 stone after a right good sunday roast lol... and i used to race 125 crossers so if thats anything to go by i fully understand what a 125 can do, i'm just after a bit of reassurance that a 160 trial bike would be enough for me, for the next few yrs at least anyway as i've never even had a go on a trials bike so i have no idea of the power

Lovin that bike Lee, very nice !

Hi all, I'm totally new to trials after racing crossers yrs ago so dont know much at all about trials bikes, but we have the internet to find out all we need so here goes, trouble is i've searched and searched about this bike and cant find any info at all so i thought i'd ask you guys, any info /opinions would be greatly appreciated. Its going to be a first trials bike for me (i'm a pretty lightweight adult 38 yrs old) seller describes bike as having enough grunt for an adult, i aint no dougie lampkin so would be entering beginner trials. Its described as a 1997 160 CC Gas Gas. I cant afford anything newer so pls dont say get something a bit newer as i cant afford, these trial bikes seem to cost a small fortune !! opinions and info pretty please...

Eee by gum, ya learn summat everyday.....didnt know cows wore boots !

Hi all I'm brand new to trial riding and fancy giving it a go, but i know nothing about any of it, i used to race motocross yrs ago but always fancied giving trials a go. so hopefully some good folks here can help me out. Heres what i want to do. I have always loved the twinshocks i.e early 80's, late seventies twin shocks Monty's ,Bultaco's and Fantics etc (my era lol..) ...i'm not made of money so i need something cheapish so something like that seems to be reasonably priced....so what kind of classes can i enter with such a bike and is it worth me getting one, i want to do about an event or two a month would be enough, also full weekend jobs would also be a laugh (camp/caravan overnight job). I also hear that these do's are friendly social places rather than ultra competitive atmospheres, thats what i'm looking for really to have a bit of fun, I'm from north west england so events that i dont have to travel to far too would be good, is there plenty round me ? but i am prepared to travel to "weekend/two day" events. Any help here would be great thanks.
