Bob, it could be that Martin Dams has his one still for sale,not shure but it is worth to give him a ring: Tele:00491771439328 Mike

Go for EBC ones they are the best.

I/we have done that modification on my 320 Majesty to put the inlet rubber of the RD 350 on it.It goes straight.Together with a bigger self made alloy airbox it is a totally different bike.

Boost bottles and whrist bands will get the same result. They were very comon on Yamaha Lc's in the 80's and a big eycatcher in front of the cafe or icecreamshop.

In my country the bike to have back in the day(late 70's)was a TY 175.So it was never imported in our country.When you orderd a TY 175 you get a Ty 125 with the 175 Kit which was changed at the main Dealer for Yamaha Motorsort in that day(Manfred Weihe).When you picked it up it was a 175 and you could take your 125 barrel and piston and bity and pieces back home.That's why a lot of people over here have still brand new 125 barrels in shade.

4 security bolts,thik Enduro or MX Tube that will do.

Yes i realy enjoyed it,that was propper trials on saturday. By the way Ross i beat you by 4 points different class but same route. Eric rode the little Honda Twin very well in our route.

Ty brakes are good anyway,they work perfect with original EBC brakeshoes.Do not buy cheap no name stuff from ebay,you pay twice.

What a muddy weekend, the saturday was wet,wet,wet,cold,hailstorm,snow.

Hi Metisse, we will go there with a few guys from our area.About 220 Kilometers for us one way.

Do not bann the young people from Classic Trials.It is not good,as we all get older,and older and later there is nobody.Trouble is that some peolple live in the past.I#am now 52.I stopped with modern trials in 87 the get back in classic in 94,bought 2 Kawasaki KT 250 and wanted to ride twinshock in our country.I thought a Kt was a classic bike.Anyway me and me mate Ralph(1974 Bulto) turned on at the first round of the year.Both 31 years old.These "Old"guys looked at us in the paddock like aliens.Anyway we get penalty points as we were not old enough.40 was the limit to start with zero.We rode the trial(expert class)endet up with a win and 3rd and get dead last.Next month clean on the weekend an dead last.So we decieded to buy/build a pre 65 bike because this was boaring.Lot of peole said go riding modern.But we were not intersted in moderns.Anyway a year later we turned up with a 500 Triumph Twin and my mate with a BMW R 26.First ammount from the wise people was "Now you have propper bikes",but they are not competitive,The Triumph is too heavy and too long.The BMW is the same and now power.You better bought a B 40,C 15 or Cub.Our answer was:we love these bikes,because we enjoy the sound,smell and they are different.They where always complaing.We enjoyed riding them.After a couple of years we were acceptet as a rider and a person.The Triumph is sold since 08,still have my Duc and the 50cc Hercules for pre 65 and enjoy riding my Yam's and Majesty's in the Twinshock class.Lot of the "Wise"people are no longer riding or swapped to "not propper"bikes as they getting older.In my opinion it is the person on the bike or in the padock that count's not the bike,either twinshock or pre 65,both are classic bikes.For my agegroup the twinshock's are defenetly classic bikes as most of us rode them when we were young lads and so we have a realation and good memories(more or less) with these bikes.Potthunters:I know a lot of " wise" people in my country who are pothunters.When i ride sometimes my 50cc i can not ride it in expert as it is not possible.I drop a class down,if i won a pot,i give it to the last rider in the "woblers"class,as it is not my class.But i enjoy riding that little bike.So,please feel the young lads welcome and let them take our sport in the next generation.

Well this is always the neverending story.Trouble is we have so much stupid rules in our sport that most of us do not understand the sence of them. In my country we have to prepare the bikes for the german classictrial championship like this:Killbutton with wrist band,Handdlebarpad,closed back and front spocket and a finn at the swingingarm near the backsprocket.Then in the same regs it says the bike has to look like it was back in the day. Sorry that makes no scence to me.We have a few nice trials over here which are not championship standart so we ride them or go to holland or belgium,as it is just down the road for us where we live.Going to Belgium.Pay,ride,enjoy.

Sometimes they have them on ebay spain.309 and 310 are the same.

Dead easy Twinshocks up to 1985.

At the end of the day it is the rider not the bike what makes the difference.

If somebody is interested i have the complete owners manual of the Ducati Senada Trial and also the complete engine drawings and can make copys of them.You can find these little engines on a lot of jumbles in italy for 50 ish Euros.Even on Ebay It .

Absolutly agree :agreed:

You are absolutly right

Metisse, i never been to Apeldorn,but i might will go to Sleen,have been there before.You can ride SWM or Ariel no problem.They have Twinshock and pre 65 classes.You can turn on the day sign on ,pay and ride.All very relaxed.

The TY 250 is the better Ossa Mar

So here is the webiste for the Classic trials in Holland http://www.classictrial.nl/

Just a thought, why use MZ-Forks with this starnge diameter. Our west german army bikes(Hercules K 125 V1 and K 180)used 35 mm Marzocchi.A lot of classic trials riders use them in their bikes here on the continent and also in the UK.Cheap,and parts are easy to get.So why go east,stay west.

That's a Yamaha DT Kickstarter.

Ross, they are perfect in snow and sand.

Yeah it was a cracking weekend, we had a fantastic time over there and all was very well organized.I realy can recomend this event.Well worth to go.
