Trials Australia Forums

Good to see that little Moto G, interesting bike.
Here's a ripper of a 400cc Triumph twin, these bikes were surprisingly docile and smooth to ride especially the 350's, this ones been increased to 400cc, they had a lot of weight low down, come on Bill lets see that one of yours in action.

Here's a hybrid 350 Grumpy - '61 3TA engine in '61 Greeves Scottish TDS rolling chassis - belonging to a forum member in Bris

Here's a real fancy heavyweight in the form of a 500cc Velocette pictured at the 2013 Manx classic trial, it did really well in the actual event, definitely a rareity in the heavyweight ranks.

I should have started off with this one, its the box of bits which was my brothers creation in the 60's and I bought it out to Australia in the 80's, its a BSA 350cc Gold Star.
Its progressed somewhat from this and my aim is to get it ready so that I can take it to Conondale this year, mind you that was my aim for last year as well !!!!!
Can anyone spot the biggest problem I have faced to rebuild this bike

No forks? No gearbox? No magneto? No fuel tank? Can't decide which seat to use?
Ah I remember now wasn't there a problem finding the right wheel rim to suit the hub?

Nice one Billy
Good try David but all those items were there but missed by the photo.
The problem is very clear in the pic, keep trying, its quite simple

You don't want to ride a rigid ?

Nice try Jon, by the way it seems a long time since I met you at the Sam Cooper trial.
OK guys, you need a clue, what is it about the engine that is the problem ??

Too tall for the frame maybe? Hard to see from that angle
