scoobystu Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hi there Just starting to look at trials bikes with a view to doing a few events and generally playing about. Been riding enduro's for 3 years or so and have always fancied a shot at trials. There are also a lot more events closer to where I live compared to enduro. Currently in the market for a bike and if anyone has one or a suggestion as to what would be a good beginners bike then let me know. Cheers for now.

02-apr Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Couldn't do much better than a 200 Beta to start with. There are two for sale in the Central Belt. Try Lanarkshire MCC and Dunf MCC websites for the adverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westie Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Are you a youth or adult rider ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobystu Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) adult in body - youth in mind. 33 years young as an aside. I am a member of the Melville motor club which is ACU affiliated. Do I need to join a trials club in order to ride events. Obviously that would be the case for the closed to club ones. Club membership isn't too expensive anyway. Are the bikes scruntineered before the start and can you buy a license on the day? My current one only covers enduro.

You can ride under the Melville MC Scotland Ltd as it is affiliated to the SACU. It is cheaper (at this moment in time) to buy a trials licence ( Edited November 2, 2007 by Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabie Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 don't how different you SACU lads do it but doesn't a higher licence back cover you for anything cheaper (or same price) ie i have a mx licence which covers me for enduros and trials (and grass track if i had ticked the box) also we do do a scruitnering down here but that just varies across the country, club to club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
