Trials (Or Not Trials) Dumping Ground

[Nhuskys]

Yes, I always ran No Toil. I also spent a lot of time on the throttle stop. After each top end, I noticed a significant boost in power, it was like a different bike. The rings were always fine, it was the piston skirts that wore out. The motor would get real noisy from the piston flopping around.

That's a familiar sound. I remember riding a D4 Enduro in 2015 on my TE125 and the grass track ran into the wood in a section. I was still a few turns back, and could see the bikes slowing down as they entered the woods. I knew there was a hill climb in there, and there was a bottleneck forming. I knew if I got in that line, and had to make a run from the bottom.... it wasn't going to go well. I hated being that guy, but I just clicked down a couple of gears, rode right past the waiting riders, and went for it. I had to use the tires of a downed bike for traction, but I made it!

So awesome, Get out of the way 125 race bike coming through !

I hate getting stuck behind my buddies on 300’s they can roll off the throttle on a hill and get going again. I have to attack or I’m not going up.

Just a couple of HRC homies hanging out in the shack yesterday, chillin', being rad, shop kitten photobombs...

Had a blast at the latest Mountain West Vintage Trials Association event at Sipapu Ski Valley, NM this past weekend. Phone decided to be a cranky bitch and not work much, but I did get a few pics. The League pits on Saturday -




Wait, what is that parked behind my 315R??




Yup, my latest Bad Financial Decision. A mid-'80's Montesa T-15 Trials bicycle.




More to come...

Dug out the T-15 to ogle it. Every bicycle guy ties down bicycles like this, right?




Set it up next to my Yamaha Moto-Bike just for kicks -






This thing is chock-full of '80's Montesa yumminess -








Found some goober welds and glop brazing on the handlebar. With all that brass in it I can't clean-weld it so a grinder-n-paint will make previous welder-he-ain't!




Yup, I like it. Shop kitten photobombs -




Plans are to replace the missing chain and brake cable, but in the meantime it joins some '80's and '90's Montesa homies.

I am not familiar with vintage bicycle trials. I started bicycle trials in the 90s, with powerful hydraulic rim brakes and feather light aluminum frames. I think my trials bike weighed 18 pounds.

Dunno what this one weighs, but it's TONS lighter than the Moto-Bike!

My neighbour has one of those still kicking around from his early days, I’ll try to find it and get a photo of it.

Time for some Beemer love in the 'ol shack -




The Waif K75 already had the fuel pump/filter assembly replaced along with the fuel injectors. It had been abandoned with fuel in it and all those components had locked solid. Time to finish it up. New fuel pressure regulator and hoses to replace the granite-hard ones -




Why BMW insisted on using tiny little Willie Weaksauce negative battery cables is beyond me, but a REAL cable replaced it -






The 'ol Waif fires right up, runs, idles, shifts, rides, steers, stops... All good!!




Used some LA's Totally Awesome to de-funk the old fork fluid muck off of the front end -






Not too shabby for an abandoned, derelict waif of a free bike, eh? Yup, this bike was FREE!!




Next up, the Bucket List R100RS.
