Scottz, I picked up a vintage Trials bike

Thought you might want to see a pic of the 75' Honda TL 250 Trials bike. I used to have a TL125 that was in show room condition and sold it like a fool.

That is awsome. It looks like it is very good condition.

Its got its flaws but its all there.

Looks like fun. I had a mid 70's ( I think) Elsinore 125. It was a rocket but had a power band about 500rpm wide. It was a dog when outside the band, and a wildcat when in it. It was loud, my neighbors hated me.

Yep my best friend had a Elsinore 125, You had to learn to ride on top of the band, and then hope it didn't surprise ya when you least expected it.
The guy I picked the TL up from had a Elsinore 250 that he raced in vintage class , tuned and ready to rip, he had a pile of trophys from the vintage races.,,,, asked me if I wanted to ride it and I was like NO I don't believe I do.....

Very NICE!! I had a Honda Trail 70 in 1974...would love to find one of those.

I've got it listed on craigslist atlanta, I'm trying to move into a newer model trials bike, gasgas or montesa,

A+ in judgement!

I bought a 05' cr250 awhile back because a friend was dumping it pretty cheap, It had been awhile since I had been on a 2stroke,
Was riding on a private MX track and the 2nd time out hit the whoops and had a yard sale, Lawn Darts included..... I had let my guard down on that extra little burst that rears its head ever so often. It seems like that soft dirt wouldn't hurt so bad.

Anybody want to go run the Battle of Atlanta with me as a Team ?

I'll have a 07' KLX300 for the race. I'm planning to run it Iron man If I can't find a team

Atlanta is quite a hike for me; besides I have not been in riding shape for about 6 years.

I used to think that too. Times have changed (or the dirt is harder!).

That's nice. They are rare around here but I see one every once in awhile. I'm in the middle of restoring a 1975 Honda XL250 but I like to ride my 08' Yamaha XT250. I found in my old age I have a weakness for electric start.
