Marty D If you had asked that question yesterday, I could have found out for you by asking the man himself! I was speaking to Steve today at Alford, Grampian Motorcycle Convention.

geordabroad Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi all What constitutes a Colley TXT PRO? (Not that mine is for sale) I've got a 2006 TXT300 Pro that was a Steve Colley practice bike. No stand, Keihin carb. flywheel weight but still got a quick action throttle, Kokusan electrics and a Colley sticker on the tank. Loads of power for me... (I'm really no expert) so I'm trying to tame it at present. Bought from a mate of Steve's in Darlington. Just interested to hear what the specs of a Colley bike are, and whether mine is one.

toofasttim Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Marty, sorry to hijack your thread. Geordabroad, are you really in China? If so did you take the bike with you? Have you had a look at the trials scene there? I've heard some interesting stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordabroad Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi Tim yes I'm really in China, in Beijing. I shipped the bike out in pieces to avoid import tax... and built it here and it was running great until the carb stuck wide open. Didn't know there WAS a trials scene here. Would be good to know if there was: firstly, so I could get some help getting my 300 to work, secondly to help with getting spare parts. It's a pain in the ... getting them shipped out from the UK with friends etc. and finally, might actually get to do some competitions First trials bike I've ever had, and apart from a couple of days out in the hills outside Islamabad a few years ago, only ever been on dirt bikes and mountainbikes. Please tell me if you know of any clubs or contacts. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hi Ian, The closest GG importer to you that I know of is in Hong Kong, or Taiwan. Take a look on the GG Sapin web site for details. The only trials related info I know about China comes from Thierry Michaud when the FIM sent him out there in 2007 to check out the possibility for running a world round for maybe 2010. He said that there were a few older trials bikes around, good possibilities for sections but not a great deal happening. Do you still have a problem with your 300? Hey Tim, what interesting stories are these? nothing about endo's down rock steps are they? :-) Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hey Pete/Geordabroad The story to which I was referring was the same one as you (Thierry Michaud). Stu Essininnnngh (sp?) also spoke highly of the scene but that was in HK. I did a bit of surfing t'other night and found some vids. Whether they were in the peoples republic, the republic or HK I don't know but the standard was a long way off. Go to youtube and search for "moto trials china".
