never heard of thunder bugs or june/july bugs before :angry: Dont seem to get them here, at least I havnt seen any ever.

I have had 3 (160 front and back and a 180 front) I thought all of them were crap, they didnt have any bite or any holding power, one leaked, I hit another on a rock and it un-did the hose. however, I tried waynios 160 one and it was soooo powerful, waay better than my avid. so when they work, they work well, but otherwise they are a pain

I saw it today. At first I thought it was a rockery, didnt even give it a second glance in thoughts of riding it, then someone said it was the trials area, I was shocked. Its smaller than my bloody bedroom! cant see why the have built it when shipley glen is a mile or so away :P

after eventually wearing out my red heatsinks (which were exellent) I am now using my old red bloxx. I used to have them on a hog rim with the harshest grind I could get. The brake was good, but not exellent. Now I have them on a sun doublewide with an old grind (still rough) and its almost like having tar! This brake works sooo well, there is no modualtion, just power which suits me nicley. They are wearing pretty fast though.

yeah, he eats soooo much and is pretty fat, so I called him pig :shifty:

Harvey looks very happy :P I have two cats. This is Tansy, she is 16 now and the most bad tempered cat ever, but oh so sweet at the same time, I love her. I have another cat called Pig, he is about 17 and is completley deaf, but I dont have any pics of him. Both cats hate each others guts and have never got along :shifty:

glad you guys had a good time. I aint sad I didnt go, it doest quite sound like my kinda fun but each to their own.

I have looked and examined the engin, the spark plug sparks well, it has good compression, air filters good, exhaust is fine. It still wont start up though, I cant think of anything else, any ideas?

got the bike today, doesnt quite look as in good a condition as the photos or description led me to believe, but for the price I cant complain. There are two things that need doing to it, the kickstart doesnt return. He said the spring inside has gone, is this easily fixable? It doesnt seem to select all gears, again how easy is this to fix myself? one last question, does anyone know the correct measurments of petrol to oil? ta

I might go, but I would rather ride some rocks, Leds isnt my fave place to ride. We'll see

that was bloody quick video making:S Not bad considering how quick it was made! nice job (Y)

I thought it was an ace ride!! (Y) (Y) I did loads of stuff that I couldnt do last time I went, the weather was puurfect and I liked all the people, the plave had a good atmosphere. if anyone has any pics I would love to see them

good news everyone. I have won a ty175 on ebay for the sum of £166.50 (Y) here it is I cant wait to collect it. Thanks for all the advise everyone

(Y) Ali C has earned his hot chocolate tonight

I am watching a few on ebay, there do seem to be a lot of them around the west yorkshire area (Y) I fancy having a clutch so I can get some power down, also gives me more confidence for when on the rear as I aint used to letting off the throttle. Was yours a private deal or from a company? Halifax is really close to me.

when I was at back cowm quarry, there was a guy and his son there, the guy had a go on the bike and it seemed to be pulling him no problem. Iolos moped is only 50cc, and thats got plenty of power, was your ty80 running right?

my friend had a 125 crosser and it scared the f**k outta me! sooooo fast and the power band was lethal. I am after a trialsy rig, with a sump plate, there are a few places around here to take it. Iolo found a moped in a lake and got that going, it was only 50cc but it was soooo fun! So if I got somthing with a sump plate and bigger wheels, imagian the fun to be had on that!

cheers for the help guys. I think most of the mentioned bikes are a bit too much for me at the mo, but if I get a job it might be more feasable.

I am desperate for a trials motorbike. I have my eyes on either a ty80 or ty175, what are peoples thoughts on these? I know the 80 is meant for kids, but I still recken it would be good fun and good to learn the basics on. I have seen a few on ebay, but I was wondering if there were some online shops that sell 2nd hand bikes? or if anyone on here has one for sale? cheers

38 inches on my control

what else is there to discuss? Biketrial uk gave us some answers.

I think its just a lack of body movement, you dont preload before you jump. try again but really crouch back when you takeoff, then throw yourself across the gap. And the thing I said about trying to get hight as well as distance still stands
