This looks pretty cool, I want to ride one but wouldn't know where anymore. I have a couple of the Old Trailblazer 250 Triumphs, my friend had one too and the BSA version. He posted here quite a while back but is in prison now.He had a 2003 BA. They were junk.


I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Ha! Cool to see a Triumph dirt bike! Man I love the dirt bikes but unfortunately my IQ drops sharply when I get on one.

I just reread my post and it doesn't read the way I meant it. I meant the old Trailblazer 250 dirt bikes were junk not the BA. Those old Triumph dirt bikes tended to lose the crank seal and cook the big end rod bearing. Seems my IQ drops on dirt bike too, fun but painful!

Just saw the video as well. My IQ would have to drop before I got on it too many joints that wouldnt like the pounding.
As Warren Miller the maker of ski movies is quoted as saying "when your ability to ski exceeds your IQ then I have a job for you"

I like the inverted forks but looking at it I don't think I would like the seat. It doesn't dip down where it meets the tank. I think you would slide forward or back too easily.
