As title chaps
Anyone into 60’s/70’s era trials riding?

I don't ride off road but very year when I go to the TALMAG (which I think is for pre 1965 bikes?) I want to buy one!
Rode twinshock for a good few years and more recently got caught up in Long Distance Trials (LDTs) which is how trials used to be "back in the day"
A bit of roadwork, a few sections, a bit more roadwork, etc. LDTs are pretty steady and a good laugh. Some have a compulsoty lunch stop which brings a much more relaxed feel to the day. Some overnight events too, check out the MCC and the ACTC
The ACU run all sorts of events for twin-shocks. I used to do a few but a number of ex-champions strted turning up on modern reengineered pre-65's worth £15k+ and it all got a bit silly.
Keep yer feet up
Thanks for the advice so far....
Got an idea in my head of building a trio of 70’s machines such as
Bultaco Sherpa
Ossa mar
Montesa cota
Bikes from the mid 70’s when I started riding,more as a fun thing to own, ride and display with my nephew who’s had more modern stuff.
Cheers

Nothing that old, but having taken this apart 17yrs ago. I finally put it back together a week or so back. Currently the brakes do not work, but hey who needs brakes
