Trials Australia Forums

Set up this practice section down the paddock at my place. It has been nicknamed the "Loch Ness Monster"

From a Trial in Feb this year at Mole Creek Tas,

That photo of you at the IoM Classic 2 day is fantastic Roger

Thanks David, I was a very happy man to finish, the IoM event is a much larger one than the Pre 65 Scottish, I was no 205, there were 240 starters that year, the Pre 65 Scottish only take 180.
I was entered last year as well but had to pull out through family commitments but I am planning to ride it again in 2016, the organisers have asked if I want to enter an Aussie team,,,,, any takers ?

Good one Trango

Only me so far The tyres are about the same width as the footpegs on the bike. More than a few times I have jumped off the side hanging on to the handlebars to stop the bike crashing down

That's the beauty of tyres. If you stuff up then chances of hammering your bike are minimal.

If you having trouble running off the side and keeping pointed in the right direction then you need to practice holding a
straight line along a piece of 4x2 first

Good advice thanks gasgasman nothing like the old 4x2 balance beam to straighten the wobbles out. I will be needing the extra balance I have just scored 4 more tyres that are bigger than the current ones. "Loch Ness" will soon be taller and more involved than it is now

Thought this thread needed a bit of a revival so I am posting photos of one of the tyres I mentioned in my last comment.

giving the TLR200 a bit of right wrist!
