====================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mornin’ bloggers – hope you are all getting fired up for riding this long weekend – there is a reason I posted the pic above, as it shows me out on my TRS 125 – and as many of you will know, this is one of my favorite bikes. Also I just noticed that Danny Butler has just done a video clip on riding one. on his Trial Tube site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, I’m not a big fan of Danny or his videos, but I think this one is worth watching because it might be the only one he has done on a 125!! It should also be mentioned, that he is a big lad!! something he also said, while I only weigh 140 lbs!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess the bottom line is that the modern 125 bikes are REALLY good, and as George Hemingway showed capable of winning the Scottish six Day trial – if only he had not had that bad ‘5’ on the last day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that I’m expecting any big sales boom on 125 Trials bikes !! but in the right hands they are simply a “Hoot” to ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of our bloggers, may remember the test “Shoot-out” we did in 2018, between the Beta Evo 125 and the TRS 125 !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Older readers may also recall that George Fisher won the Scottish back in the 50’s on a Francis Barnett which I think was a bored out 197cc Viliers – certainly no rocket ship. – But at that time there were a lot of small British Factories producing lightweight bikes – many just converted street models. ( That is what we started on)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a good video of the Manx Classic two day on You Tube, which shows a lot of the very special BSA Bantams now popular for these events, of course they are now all fitted with special frames\/suspensions plus the motors now have a lot more “Go”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that these Trials videos are that interesting for people not familiar with the sport – that is why the new style Circus type events get more coverage. ( Because they are quite spectacular) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However I did notice a comment by young Jack Galloway after the last Euro Outdoor FIM – He said they were Indoor Sections in the Outdoors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

=========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer to the last quiz – Trials Photographer Neil Sturgeon a regular at the UK Trials with some brilliant photos. – Roger Boothroyd got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today – Another famous UK star – but who is it and what is that bike???<\/p>\n\n\n\n
