owlit Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I would like to know if I could ride trials in Italy using an ACU international trials licence, or is that only for international events? It seems an Italian trials licence is the same as a mx and enduro licence and would be a lot for perhaps one or two events. Thanks in advance.

scifi Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I think you need the FIM licence, which can be obtained from the ACU, for 30 pounds... https://www.acu.org.uk/Uploaded/1/Documents/2018 Licence Forms/2018 Enduro Licence Application Form.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlit Posted May 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Great thanks, that looks like it might do the trick. All I have to do is find some trials to ride while I am in Italy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschrauber Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 To get the international version of the licence you need the eyesight and medical report too, so prepare to open the wallet wide for this "service"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Depends which events I would guess. Can't see you could ride a club trial without an Italian licence. You can't here afaik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschrauber Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Mmmmh I don't know which kind of trials you want to do: - modern trials, national: "Italiano e Centro Sud" the regional trials series Campionato: regioale Ligure, regionale Piemonte and Trofe Asi Piemonte, regionale Lombardo, regionale Triveneto - classic trials, "Trial Gr. 5 Trofeo" - trials riding in the high mountains / Motocavalcade or "Motoalpinismo" or "Mulatrial" Therefor (in own experience) do some homework before you ride, look up the trials you want to visit in advance and contact the club or event manager, the Italians are super strict with their rules* which too vary also, thus mean you might still need a "Tessera Sport" or a "Licenza superiore". Your bike might too have a road registration, "Registro Storico" may be even an international insurance, as most trials are held on public places. * Some of the Italian rules: Entering the sections (for example when visiting) is only permitted with a helmet on the head! - wearing of gloves is mandatory. Without gloves under certain circumstances no start! - Arm protection is required (long-sleeved clothing). also for hot days, do not forget about long sleeved but breathable Trial shirts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We (brits) would need to same when riding out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlit Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Thanks to all who have replied. Most of the trials I have found are in the north and a long way away. I live (when in Italy) not far (20 miles) from San Marino where there was an international last year (I think). But most around here ride MX or enduro, no trials let alone twinshock. If I spent more time in England (Wigan), the I would do club trials and twinshock. And if I had a club in Italy locally I would join as an Italian member. But as the trials I could ride would probably be one-offs, I suppose I will carry on riding in my wood here in Italy and ride trials in England when I can. Thanks again for all the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
