Hi,I am now the 'proud' owner of this bike! tucked up safe and sound in clayton le moors, lancs. I'm returning to trials after a lay off of over 35 years, so i've joined the red rose club and plan to have an outing soon-on the easy stuff. Joined this site yesterday and i must confess that i have no knowledge whatsoever of this type of bike-i'm more familiar with the newer stuff (35 years ago that is)and have had a puch 125 in a dalesman frame, honda tl 125s and a brief play with a fantic 350. Would be interested to speak with anyone local who has a trials bantam? to compare notes. Regards, Andy.

Hi Guy's.

Nice little bike, But can it be classed has "PRE 65"????

Surely the engine is later and has four gears??? And the trick ones are much worse!!

This "PRE65" tag on bikes has got to be stopped. What is wrong with calling bikes of this class "BRITSHOCKS" anyway??

YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENCE??? :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Regards Charlie.

Whats wrong with having more than one class ?

For arguments sake call them BRITSHOCK, or TRICKSHOCK, or Pre ?????????

Hi, although i haven't much idea on this type of bike i know its not pre 65 (but its a bit nearer than the bulto/Montesa i was thinking of getting!)- and i just liked the look/sound of it, I agree with the thoughts on the 65 tag - but i'm well aware that it's a bit political, so i'll steer well clear and just try to enjoy the sport again !! Took it out on saturday for a quick try, engine seems strong but still can't get used to gear change on right!

I'll send a pm Stuart.

Thanks for the interest folks,

Andy.
