b40rt Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Our rules aren't that strict and it's not considered cheating. The only rules are; twinshock, aircooled, no hydrolics. There is a guy with an '04 315R with twinshocks, home made drum brakes(he's a machinist), and an engine out of a Banshee 4 wheeler. Are real twin shocks that hard to find ?

OK so i accept all that even though i dont agree with it and i know you guys over there have always had what seems to us a strange outlook on Trials. So what would you consider a cheat bike and if anything goes why does anybody even bother to ride anything other than a cheat bike. Confuses the hell out of me. Genuine question though.

Aircooled motor, really late fantic? and fantic wheels? Not forgetting to bolt on the shockers!! Do they have to work in your "rules" or could you keep the linkage?

lineaway Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Put new disc brakes on the front end. Lower the pegs, and take about 14 oz off the flywheel. That bike could still win your Intermediate thru senior expert. That is what fun is!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil king Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Well, it's like putting chocolate on peanutbutter. You say it's cheating to put chocolate on your peanutbutter over there. And I say, but over here it's ok to put chocolate on your peanutbutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motofire Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Are real twin shocks that hard to find ? In my opinion yes. If their not turd heaps people want big money for them. Those that have nice twin shocks generally keep them anyways. Also so few trials bikes are even brought into the states to begin with. I have been looking for a decent twin shock and just ended up getting a Reflex. Plan is to hop it up a bit and have some fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a way to find trials bikes all across the USA: Jaxed mash click on tab marked "motorcycle" and scroll down,I had him add "trials" to his menu so that you'll get any craigslist or ebay add that has trials in the title or you can just google "trials site:craigslist.org/ mcy" and set the date preferences to "sorted by date" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have rules in motor sport to prevent CHEATING! Eat as much peanut butter with jello or chocolate or fish its not a sport, not this side of the atlantic anyways.
