One for Rabie

RE: One for Rabie

well “mine” is a trials bike so i isn’t ment for speed (dread to think what a speedo would say). actually up north where they go across mores between sections (im in kent – so all in one wood) they have gear 1,2, and 3 for sections, 4 for off road and 5 for on road.

its good fun 😉

im no technical expert (but i could find out) about technical issue – like setup – normally its a matter of taste and how you feel comfertable riding

Thanks for that mate.
I notice your bars are set back on the trailly, does that give better leverage ?. I havent altered a thing on mine since I brought it earlier on this year. Dont know how good it (or even me !) would be on a trial as its only a 125 and feels a bit athsmatic.

I must get mine down town and get the fork seals replaced, the cables replaced, the carb overhauled, the fuel tap overhauled, the dent taken out of the tank, oh and replace the brakes with ones that actually work !. Fortunately with trials gearing on it (check out the size of the rear sprocket), flat out is a staggering 65KPH…thats about fourty, so most ‘offs should happen in slomo !.

Found a little shop in one of the back streets of Limassol that’ll do all that and still gimme change from about 30 quid so its going down there soon.

Cheers

Gary

😀 😀 😀

its one of the first monoshock honda trials bikes, a ty250 – circa early 70’s (from the time when the japanese didn’t own the european trials brands like they do today). it is my “sponsored” ride which is use in a few trials. im heavily involed in a motorcycle club over here (see my club’s website that i run) and its sort of a fmaily business thing with all my family invovled (although its all volunter work).

prersonally i have several bikes, a 50 year old sidecar trials outfit, a 1970’s suzuki 370 trail bike, and some others in bits.

first pic (should be) said ty-250, whiel the second is my dad and my mate riding my sidecar recently
