Obscure trials bike

[Davey Crocket]

I ended up buying a job lot of 4 TY175's today.....and I had to take a Yammie AG bike aswell....can we burn it at CD Noel?....sacrifice to the god's of Conondale?...let me know (I think it will be the only way to un-shame myself for stouping to the same level as TMBill.....who still has the worlds largest collection of farm bikes!!)

Burn it   No way.  Take the racks off put on some plastc guards Bill will have another bike to ride.

Too true....a works AG bike! ....he can build on the Wednesday before CD.....we only have the best at CD...we can put it with the Husky sewing machines and maybe do a peoples choice award......it will be close.

So how many TYs are you going to have there? 

[Davey Crocket]

Just one.

Looks more like a rigid to me

Could be right there young Tone. That mudguard stay wouldn't work very well if it were a mono.

Here are a few more trials bikes from some well known MX/Enduro makers.

Now that's what I call a trials bike , it would be a trial to ride one .

Creek crossing should be interesting .

I should make it easier for everyone.
Here are the pics.
Single cylinder BMW.

Twin cylinder shaft drive.

BMW.

How about a 4T Bultaco.

Or a CZ.

An early Maico.

Some thing newer in a Maico.

A Greeves.

A Hodaka.

KTM had a go as well.

And not too bad either.

Laverdas effort.

After SWM they had a go as SVM.

There was a Husqvarna as well.

A good mate of mine just got hold of an Aprillia old trials bike. Anyone heard of it before.

There were twinshock and single shock Aprilias made in mid-late 1980s. The one I'm familiar with had a Rotax rotary valve motor similar to what came in in Armstrong and SWM trials bikes. The twinshock would be highly desirable for competition but I don't think they were sold new in OZ. The monoshock was sold here but not many. Fantic twinshock and monoshock and Yamaha monoshock were much more popular at the time.

That's an interesting Maico trials bike but I reckon the only Maico components are the tank stickers. As ugly as she is, at least my Maico is all genuine Maico, the only non Maico parts on the whole bike being the Yamaha reed valve setup and Mikuni carby (and PVL ignition).

My Maico trials bike nose to nose with Kevin Browns equally ugly Husky trials bike. The Maico looks a lot better now that it's fitted with a proper Wassell trials tank and seat. The Maico is a mechanical work of art and works beautifully.
