Here's the KT250 being ridden at a Club trial yesterday. As usual it ran like a charm all day.

I found some pre-digital Twinshock Trials bike photos tonight that brought back memories.

This is Jeff Hill's Honda something (RS200T?) (Seely Honda?) Please someone identify it properly if you can.

Behind Jeff's Honda is Mal Chapman's 250 Yamaha Majesty

Taken at the 2000 Aussie Titles at Thunderbird park

Another SWM at Thunderbird Park in 2000

I might be wrong but it looks like one of Darryl Martin's bikes.

This is not at Thunderbird Park! It is a photo of my OSSA MAR on my driveway after the long drive home in about 2001.

It took 3 years to buy this bike or rather it took 3 years after advertising it for the seller to finally decide to sell it to me.

For the OSSA trainspotters out there, yes I know the paint scheme doesn't match the rims and bashplate. I am planning to decorate it as a MK2 MAR.

I've done very little to it and have only ridden it in a few trials but have big plans for it.

This is my TY250A back in about 1997. This is the same bike as detailed above.
In this photo it still has the hastily fabricated aluminium chequerplate bashplate, Koni roadbike shockies as ridden at the 1996 Aussie Titles.

I think this an earlier photo of John Barwick's lovely KT250A1.

The photo was taken at the 1995 Aussie Titles at Canungra
