boofont Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I know I'm leaving my self open to a slating here but why should your average club man have to spend more so that the odd one or two talented youths can benefit? I realise that they should get support but I dont' think it's fair that it should come from the pockets of other riders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perce Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 So how much did Trials contribute to this fund then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperado Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I ride about 6 trials a year... haven't had an acu licence for about 6 years... if it goes up anymore i will be even less inclined to get one. Trials is a cheap motor sport that most of the club riders use as a day away from the missus!! .. start telling them that they have to pay for the top riders and i know where they will tell you to stick your licence.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> To try and explain a few simple facts to r2wtrials and like minded riders. The whole point in having a trials registration (or 'licence')is that with that simple exceedingly cheap to obtain piece of card comes all important third party insurance cover at all trials you enter. From an organisers point of view we are held responsible should any accidents to other people (spectators etc) or damage to fences, vehicles etc occur during a trial. So long as riders who enter the events have a trials registration card these eventualities are covered by the ACU under the permit that is granted for that event. All very boring for you lads who want a cheap thrash around the hills but non the less essential for those of us who put our names on official documents and are held responsible whilst you enjoy yourself. Food for thought and please give a thought to the wider picture and for Gods sake GET A LICENCE. I will even do it for you if you let me have your details !

kinell Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I've only just noticed this thread... I want to support and promote youth riders but I would be pi**ed off if it was made compulsory via an increase in my ACU licence fee! In fact, I can't believe anyone could be that naive to even suggest it! Stealth 'Sunday' Tax for the lads and lasses that just want to escape from the wife/husband and kids for the day? Supporting a promising youth rider HAS to be a voluntary choice, buying them a rear Michelin or Dunlop now and again is much appreciated and better than now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marky g Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I think the raffle thing sounded good, why don't you put a donation box by he side of the signing in table......those who want to give will give and those who don't won't. At least you'll get a feel for it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true - remember there are many AMCA riders in the south - no licence required. Increasing licence cost will just increase this number. ACU should scrap licence/reg & just charge fees on a per trial basis. It would cost me more - but does encourage the casual rider more. And everyone pays........
