Once again thanks for videoing the Poachers Trial so I can see what the riders were talking about when they came to my section (No.4)! One day you may get to video my section.

I had. BSA c15 as first bike it was cr** in fact all the British bikes apart from my brothers Vellocette venom ( which I wrecked in 1965 were cr** then onto Ducati and Moto Morini but my fav was a little Honda Benly I still think of that bike even after all those years

[@Dangerous1906]

Ducati are still crap even now I wouldn’t have one give they fall apart temperamental and cost a fortune to maintain

[@moonjumper66]

Is this 65 + senior class.

[@EngtecTrials]

`The class is for motorcycles made before 1965.

Is it just me or do the smaller 2 stroke bikes seem to be a bit better for this sort of course? Don't get me wrong I love all of these older machines but am leaning towards the 2 strokes and am on the verge of buying suchlike, I have my eye on a Sprite but then I keep seeing the four stokes from the tiger cubs up, which would be the better for a novice?

[@peterstephenson4935]

I rode in trials in the early 1960's mostly on a 250 Greeves. Yes, the smaller, lightweight bikes generally have a shorter wheelbase and are more easily handled in sections with tight turns. Also you would find that a larger, heavier, 350 Ariel (for example) will demand a lot more fitness and work from the rider, particularly a novice. Whatever you get enjoy your trials riding, it is a great sport.

@peterstephenson4935 thanks for your reply

[@gastongeneral6861]

Yes, I agree with Peter S for this comment. The 2 strokes in my opinion are a great way to learn trials skills on and are much more fun to ride because they are lighter. Pick up a 4 stroke later in your career.

Troppo belle le moto preistoria... Che muscoli davano

[@Mr71paul71]

Are theses old blokes for real ? A chav on a nicked honda 90 would be flying up and down this course flat out

[@EngtecTrials]

What make you think this then ?
