Okay so this is NOT my bike for sale, but I came across it and thought you trials guy's would like it. It sure looks rare! :aj:

Anyone got any info about these things? I did some reading and it seems like a bike with some history :)

A very nice piece! I don't think it's elibable for some vintage classes because it's a mono shock but very cool none the less and something I'd love to have! It's not a TLM260R (one of my dream rides) but it's still seriously cool.

Here's a total resto RTL CLICK

and here's the one that makes me drool CLICK

There is just something about these bikes that screams "rare" and FINE engineering. They look so.........hmmm I lost the word, but you know what I meant.

You wouldn't happen to know of any old videos I can watch online of these bikes in action would yah? :)

 

[JTT]

Don't know of any vintage vids out there myself, but there are some very cool recent ones from World rounds here . Look under "multimedia" and then "videos".

 

[Patman]

Watch the indoor video and tell me how could stadium trial NOT make it huge in the USA? :|

 

[JTT]

Agreed Patman! Enclosed environment, seats, dry, warm (or cool) color, lights, sound, dancing girls....oops, got a little carried away maybe ;)

You guys have heard about the first American Indoor Stadium MotoTrial haven't you?
January 11th 2003 in San Fransisco's Cow Palace.
I expect each and everyone of you to attend. Email me for more info as I've not checked this board for months.

[Patman]

Well Ringo maybe you need to check back on a more frequent basis then :)

I'll be there for sure................................................. if you send me a plane ticket and put me up at a nice place ;)

 

[JTT]

...same for me! It's a long walk :(

Sarcasm aside, I am sure it will be a killer event and long overdue. Congrats Ringo on getting it together!

 

[1ringo1]

I seriously hope all of you consider attending this event. I'm not the one that has put it together, just helping promote Mototrials in America. We need this event to get all the publicity that it can in order to continue. If you feel any dedication to helping keep this sport around for our kids or even us over the next decade then please do what you can to support it at the local and national level.
Thanks and keep riding

Saw one in person last Friday at the National - VERY cool machine. From what I hear they were a great performer for their time as well.

Stay tuned, and for 2004 you'll be able to buy a new 4 stroke Honda trials bike...
