skyrider Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Hi im skyrider from preston in lancs and i have just received my acu licence and have joined the lancs county mcc, so i think im going to have a go at trials but before i do i need some riding kit and above all a bike (a used model) i wont be the youngest there wobbling round the course (im 61) but i think i would enjoy the day out and the venues, so if anyone knows where to get some decent riding kit i would be interested thanks Edited September 20, 2021 by skyrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Best thing is to go meet up with the club to get a look and ask questions ... you don't need fancy gear to get started, and clubs are a good source of used boots and bikes. I started on a 2004 Gasgas 125 and it was a great bike, plenty of people will say a 250 is good to start on but that would have been too much for me. Good luck!

turbofurball Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Yeah, they would be fine to get going on ... I started out with a pair of generic motorbike boots from Lidl (which I got second hand for a fiver), and they worked ok until the soles peeled off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyrider Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 yes this is what im thinking they are enduro boots so they should last a while hopefully ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
