I could ride the best Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:35:11 GMT Neil King http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5952 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5952 Eddy Legune rode a Honda very competitively. I don't think I spelled his last name right, but he was a top world rider in his day. I've seen Stephen ride his Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:11:01 GMT Scott Jacobs http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5951 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5951 Thanks for the input. I have quite a few old Hondas, but no experience with the TLs. I know they only made them for a couple of years and seems I remember that Mon, 06 Jul 2009 00:27:21 GMT genetuck http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5950 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5950 ... Scott, I haven't been active in trials for years, but I have some experience with Hondas. I once put a big-bore kit in a TL-125. My son did fairly well Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:51:43 GMT philipramirez29 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5949 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5949 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 16:01:37 GMT Ramon Aguirre http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5948 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5948 Not  bridgeport 4 sure. 4 a local it has  potential. it needs a lot of work. ________________________________ From: philipramirez29 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 03:16:23 GMT Scott Jacobs http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5947 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5947 Yeah, this one has sat up for awhile. The plates weren't stuck when I started it and it engaged and disengaged fine, but it did feel like it was dragging. Sun, 05 Jul 2009 03:10:56 GMT Mark Hansen http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5946 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5946 Most old clutched drag a bit, but can be improved with new plates (friction and steel). I have had a ton of old bikes and usually the dragging decreases as Sun, 05 Jul 2009 00:09:24 GMT Scott Jacobs http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5945 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5945 You got any idea why it is "dragging" like I explained in my original post? Is one in decent shape, but needs that kind of work worth that? I think the Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:33:18 GMT Stephen Hetzel http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5944 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5944 I'd love to have that thing, but that is the last thing I need. The nice thing about old Hondas is that you can still get parts from Honda, minus plastics, but Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:59:28 GMT Scott Jacobs http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5943 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5943 Oh yeah, as you can imagine, the bike felt really heavy and cumbersome compared to my modern Montesa (of course it also had motocross knobbies on it)...my gosh Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:55:55 GMT Scott Jacobs http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5942 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5942 I have some TL questions if any one knows these bikes. I was considering vintage trials and like old Hondas. I found a TL250 that is in decent shape and is Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:49:03 GMT philipramirez29 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5941 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5941 Well Kyle Wedgeworth,Mark Hanson and myself went to Rock Creek,Not so hot,maybe I missed something I may try it one more time,but for 20 bucks not so sure.

My 2 oldest boys are both on the small side for their age. He could be in the 125 range; it all really depends on his skill Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:31:31 GMT Scott Jacobs http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5939 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texas-trials/message/5939 They actually advertised that in Shreveport a couple of years ago. We wanted to go, but didn't. Haven't heard of anyone near here doing it before or since
