How about a Greeves Pathfinder. The Pathfinder was one of the last trials bikes Greeves made and used a Puch 175 motor. Before I bought it Bob Ginder rode this bike to an AHRMA championship in classic expert riding the 1 line before they changed the rules. And here is one of my Penton/Wassell trials bikes. These are my favorites and I have spent a lot of time on them in AHRMA trials.
The first... second... third (traded one and two for this one, plus the guy greased me 5 Bens) present (cheaper parts, lighter front end) Hitting the trails... Screwing around at the house... Trials is a family affair around here...
I went over to Anacortes and rode with kwisin for three . five hours. Got hot and tired but had a good time. Going to primp on the GG tomorrow. I was a little suprised as to how quick that thing comes on. Fun, boy it don't want to die going up the climbs [a good thing].
I picked this up last week for a very good price. It needs a front brake cable and a little bit of tuning and its ready to ride.

Now cut that out! Those dark green early Plonkers are just too sexy! And I think Ossa continued to use the Plonker name even after introducing the Mick Andrews Replica version - somewhere in my stash of useless stuff I have some old Ossa brochures that still use the term. I owned 14 Ossas at one time before reality reared its ugly head and still have my 72 Pioneer 5-speed that I bought new. The MAR is the one I shoulda never turned loose of. I sold it to a friend of mine for $700 back in 1993 and he recently sold it for $2700 on Ebay. It was in mint condition and I even offered to give him double what he'd paid for it a few years ago to get it back,
My TL125 in its natural environment. Here it is being test ridden by CookieMonster. <object width=425 height=318><param name="movie" value="https://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="flashVars" value="s=aT01NTEzMTMwMzEmaz1yUDU5UCZhPTY5MTE0NzRfZVlhYjgmdT1FdmlsQ2xvd24mZT0x" /><embed src="https://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf" flashVars="s=aT01NTEzMTMwMzEmaz1yUDU5UCZhPTY5MTE0NzRfZVlhYjgmdT1FdmlsQ2xvd24mZT0x" width=425 height=318 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object> I know. It's been posted before but watching him sink out of sight in his first 30 feet still makes me laugh.
Ha, Yes. I also have a big bore thumper. For riding right out of the garage it's way overkill and unmanageable on several of our trails (we live at the base of a ski area). I originally picked up the 4RT as a way to be able to ride these trails, not so much because I wanted to ride trials. Now I'm finding that my interest is growing, however my skills are.... Not so much. Working on it though. The video's make it look so easy, I'm finding for me it's really not. Still working on it though.
