Trials Australia Forums

I see some wonderfull original and restored twinshocks and classic trials bikes at local trials events in Queensland.
I thought it would be a good idea to ask all you guys Australia wide that have a piece of trials history in the garage to show us a picture of your twinshock or classic trials bike and a brief story of its history.

Mick Andrews reckons Yamaha sold 30,000 TYs per year through the mid 1970s. Here is a miniscule sample of some of them. For the youngies reference, trials riding was so popular and TYs so common in 1975, that it was necessary to use stickers, coloured handlebars, and coloured handgrips to tell your yellow-and-white Yamaha from the other 20 or so yellow-and-white Yamahas parked while the riders inspected a section.
I was greatly relieved when the 1976 models came out in very different colour schemes to the 1975 models.

Jeff Eckert again this time with his TLR250 at Conondale - not a restoration job - just immaculate

George McKenzie's potent Triumph Tiger Cub. Another magic machine.
