alan_nc Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) Have to put in a note about the '74, TY250. Rode a 32 section Trial this weekend. Both modern and vintage bikes. The TY never missed a beat. Started 1st kick every time. Used all 5 gears as it was quite a distance between a couple of sections, no shifting issues. Had plenty of power for all the climbs, brakes worked well on the downhills. In the hands of a good rider I can see where this could be a very competitive machine.

swooshdave Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 You must have done a lot of work since the last time I saw the TY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducman Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 That sounds very good,as swoosdave said,you must have done a lot of work since last time.Myself had a rubbish day on the 250 TY on the Classictrial in Italy(Campo Canavese)two weeks ago.In the first section of the saturdy i fall into a very deep cold stream an was fully wet.Good thing was that it was bright sunny and hot.Next 4 sections also 5,then i found my confidence back.But too late.For me it was one of these days you better stayed in the bed.On the sunday i had a fine ride and came out 10th of 27.Sat it was 16th of 20th.So you see these things can happen to everybody,even on a good Ty 250 Twinshock.
