Talked to daughter. Need to stay electric for noise reasons. Thanks y4m4 for the offer. Brewtus your off the hook
I didn't think this qualified for its own thread, but it's pretty cool. Just watching American Pickers & they had a segment on trials. 6/3/19, Season 20 Episode 11 if that helps with your search. While not entirely correct on trials, it's always cool to see even a little something on the toob regarding our little corner of the world.
couldn't find it in the S20 E11 but remember seeing them find an old trials bike - I think it may have been American made or something obscure like that.
I recall them dragging a yellow tank TY out of a dairy barn . All factory stock stuff , $500 , I'm yelling at the TV ,I'll give you $700
Couple of Scorpas for @Norman Foley..... https://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/mcy/d/fayetteville-trials-bike-scorpa-250/7118670165.html Humpty Scorpa!! https://baltimore.craigslist.org/mcy/d/windsor-mill-trials-motorcycle/7118888534.html
Speaking of TY250s, I finally messaged this guy who has had this 250 mono listed since Feb. 26th. He's apparently really firm on $1500... Now I see why it's still listed. No airbox and the rear tire looks like a saw blade. Grips and levers are toast, but that isn't surprising. 1984 TY250 for $1500 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/857127468067328/
Yeah, looks like you'll hit it with your leg every time you attempt to pop the front wheel up a little bit. Seems real practical for trials. It's also a good thing we don't have much mud or water to ride through here. I was hoping after 2 months he would be in a more flexible mood.
