Classifieds section HERE
Just a note about the classifieds. Dealer ads are fine for specific bikes but let's not get into that "Call for best price" stuff. If you advertise it put a price on it.
Due to spam ads appearing in the classifieds section (get rich quick while working at home in you're spare time in the bath sort of thing) anything posted to the classifieds will have to be "approved" by me. This means your ad won't show up immediately but in a day or so. Sorry but I'm going to nip this in the bud before it gets out of hand. Dan The Photo Page HERE

More from Scott at Moto
Connection
(better news this time)
Hey Trials
Fans!
Just a quick
heads-up.... Moto
Connection is going green - well
OSSA green that is! We are
proud to announce that Moto
Connection is now an official
dealer for all modern OSSA
motorcycles! We should have a
brand new 2012 Ossa TR280i
trials bike on the showroom
floor late next week!
Super cool bike - fuel injected,
clean-sheet design, lightest
regular production trials bike
available, Ohlins shock,
high-boy airbox, the list goes
on.... You can see all the
details, specs, and photos on
our website under MotoTrials -
Ossa....
I will
have try to have the new 2012
280 available for demo rides
right away - so contact me if
you are interested. Also
should be able to show it off at
the NETA banquet in late January
as well - so make sure to check
it out there if you happen to
attend.
We will also
be carrying the new
Ossa Explorer - a hybrid
trials/enduro bike - same cool
engine and chassis as the 280i
along with a comfy seat and long
range fuel tank. This bike
should be available late spring,
early summer...Pics and details
of this bike is also on our
website under the Off-Road menu.
Additionally we will have
the new Ossa 250 & 300cc
2-stroke enduro bikes. These
bikes will have fuel injection,
electric start, reversed
cylinder, clean sheet design,
Ohlins suspension, etc....
Hopefully they will be available
as 2013 models - stay tuned for
more info... Early release info
is currently available on our
website under the Off-Road tab
It looks like Gas Gas is not the
only manufacturer
looking at Trials riders as
a good market for electric
motorcycles. Philippe Aresten,
the president of Scorpa from
2001 to 2007, started
Montpellier, France based
Electric Motion and plans to
bring the EM 5.7 to market.

Steve and Sam (the fabulous Singer Brothers) excellent gates. $50 bucks will get you enough to do your whole event. Even I can follow these. Trialsmasters can EMAIL to order a set from Steve HERE
NETA does not recognize bicycle helmets, climbing helmets or hard hats for competition. Only real motorcycle helmets. Yeah yeah we've heard it all. They're expensive, they're uncomfortable, they're hot... Blah blah blah. It's the rule and it just might save your life.
