  • We had a request to get a Twin Shock on the channel and I when I was offered this bike I could not resist!
    Even in 4K the video quality doesn't give this machine the justice it deserves to the viewer. A pleasure to ride and an icon for the ages, as this was the first smaller CC engine trials bike to be brought into the UK to conform with the new sixteener laws. Meaning young riders were confined to a less powerful bike. This was one of the first purpose built trials bikes from a European brand (Italian). Which Quickly Became something of an icon and a trial winner! Especially for the youth riders. But trust me it had no lack of power!
    Sit back and taker a trip down memory lane as we even have our take on the epic Kickstart winning machine!
    This is Trial Tube.

    Bravo una grande moto qui in Italia si trovano a 1000€ usate. bravo hai guidato bene. Con simpatia. Mi dispiace molto che FANTIC abbia fallito. Il 240 è stato il loro modello TOP..

    My first proper trial bike was a Fantic 200, after getting upgraded to an intermediate rider a part exchanged it for a brand new Fantic 245.

    So, I live in the U.S. (sadly) and I had never heard of Kickstart. Now, I've gone down a rabbit hole of Kickstart and I can't quit watching. Great channel, Danny! Thanks.

    Twin shock is a different kind of riding but we do benefit from the new styles of riding.

    I’m really enjoying working my way through your brilliant videos. I’ve had an old beamish Suzuki stuck in the back of my shed for years I’ve just dug out with a view to having a blast. More than happy to see you charge about on old montesas, bultacos and Ossas from the 70s or even the late 60s 😬👍❤️

    Love watching! The Fantic reminds me of my TY175 that I compete on: awesome! Too bad that we can’t seem to get a waterproof boot, I always feel silly avoiding walking the river-bottoms.....

    My first bike was a fantic 303 1989 (250cc), it was actually a mono but still a great bike. That had a forward Kickstarter and lovely gold rims 👍
