sherconoob Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 on youtube, everide (from the states) and i have a bit of fun with the whole accent thing... this video always cracks me up where he tries australian, new zealand, scottish and south african accents. nothing to do with trials riding though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_56 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hmm, I think I know why this guy rides alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_56 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Can anyone direct me to a good thread about; The good, the bad and the ugly of various brands. What years are a good find for a budget shopper and so on. Is a 1996 Yamaha a great starter while a 1996 Beta has cooling issues? Is it better to go north of 2000? I see a bit of negative comments on Gas Gas, is that just friendly ribbing of a mates bike? Are their any arguably great starter finds? I would favor a two stroke bike.

guys Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Montesa 315R is one of the most reliable bikes out there. And easy to ride also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_56 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 The closest, and basically only bike within 250 kilometers is a very clean 1994' Montesa 314R but the guy wants $5500 for it, Hmm, they still let me wander the streets on my own so I'm not that insane. I would be interested at $2500. There is a 2000 Montesa 315R in the USA for $2500 but it looks real shabby. If it was close I'd take a look but it's 1200 kilometers round trip. If I want to travel a couple days like I did for our TY175 I can get a 2012 OSSA for $6000, 2007 Sherco 2.9 for $4500 and an assortment of Gas Gas and Beta's from $2800 to $4500. Dependable and easy to ride would definitely be the highest priority on my check list though. If one comes up in a proper price range it may be the choice. Riding season is just coming to a close around here so there is no rush. Since there is no visible trials community around here to speak of there is no opportunity to check a few out and try some on for fit and feel it i appreciate the direction of experience from this site. I might add, I am 6 ft, 210 pounds too if that makes a difference. Thanks for the reply, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_56 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 There is a 1997 Montesa Cota 315r some distance away for $2200. Are there any blaring issues with the 1st year for this model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
