We saw this posted of an hour meter posted on a 2019 TRS and it reminded me that the 125 we have has over 300 hours on it – and still has 145 compression ratio. – in other words, the new bikes are quality build – Also a good reason to buy a trials bike because they last a long time where-as most enduro/MX style engines wear out rather quickly in comparison. – Using a good quality oil like Opti also helps.
Below is the one off our TTRS 125 -removed when I took it back in trade. – no I did not put all those hours on it.

An early posting of the Outlaw Trial held every year since 1986 —– Thanks to Paul Throssell for the poster – Paul -seen here riding at Bear creek- used to ride Trials and does all the printing for our events.
As I’ve mentioned previously – we put that first one on at East Kelowna, with a free Vintage on the Saturday, followed by the modern on Sunday. – The idea was for riders to dig out their old twin shocks and ride the long loop on Saturday, to check out the sections etc, while having a fun time. – Well as it turned out – the Saturday event not only proved to be very popular, but also very competitive!! –
We built a T- P Outlaw Pub — with a tarp at the top of the last big climb and I took a 24 beer pack up early in the morning – a tradition I carried on in later years at Summerland. ( just for the Vintage day)
How many of those faces do you recognize?
If you need to know more about Trials or events in the area – give us a call – we are always happy to chat about the sport.
