UK Trials Talk

I've had contact from the Harley Owners Group looking for a Trials Club to do some displays at their South of England Rally in August. The rally is organised by Harley Chapters from Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Thames Valley and Oxford. Website for more info is http://sofer.uk.com/ Any clubs fancy it, PM me or use TC contact form and I'll put you in touch with the organisers.

Apologies for my naivety but was an English team or a British team sent to the TDN in Toulouse? They are listed in the results as Angleterre...

Hello, looking for Renthal UK customer support e-mail address. I'm in the US and apparently the website defaults to location or something but have not been able to obtain it. Thanks.

hello I have looked online for information on the Bill Pye 2 day trial but I cant find anything. Can anyone shed some light on this please, venue/date/how to enter etc many thanks

Sad news really as he did look good for the WTC in the future.

What's going on with north east trials this weekend?one at oxenlaw, one at ayle near Allendale and one at butsfield?

Bit of a strange post this, but whilst riding the Terry's Cup Trial in December last year I got chatting to a chap that I have seen regularly at road trials around the country but never chatted to. We got chatting about a road bike trip I have planned this summer and he had done similar routes taking in Grossglockner, Stelivio, and rode similar routes every year from what I gather. He recommended a tank museum to me, that has one of only 2 surviving certain model WW2 tanks in it. I can't remember what tank, where it was, or even which country it was. I am starting to plan some places to visit on the trip and would like to take a look if possible. I would recognise the guy…

Hi, just hoping someone might know the venue for Durham TC trial Sunday 17 January, Ayle at Alston. Is it suitable to bring a new starter and c class Cheers

Just seen Youtube film from last nights Sheffield indoor stunt trial. The question is does this do anything for UK bike buyers ? If you had film of one of these great riders up on the Mendip Hills at Lambs Liar in the mud and they find grip and the mud does not clog the bike solid, that would be a better sales pitch. Or do we just look at events like Sheffield as a pure show of trick and stunt riding which has nothing to do with UK's normal trials events or riders ?

Vic Brittain Trophy Trial entries are now FULL - sorry to those who haven't got in. A reserve list will be made for 10 places if we get any riders withdrawing their entry before the closing date. Thank you to everyone, an overwhelming response. JT

So, when was it ? Now?...................or was it 1990's? 1980's? 1970's? Just been looking at some of Rappers pics on FB, from the 1970's and 1980's which prompted me to start this thread and ask the question I reckon it was the 1970's & 1980's for me - the halcyon days when you could enter a World Round, if you were a good Centre rider without a minder, to catch you How about your opinion?

Anyone know when the midland centre is going to add 2016 fixtures to the website?

Happy new year everyone, I have stupidly miss placed my membership renewal paperwork for Guisbrough trials club can anybody confirm that Charltons is open today for practice? Can I use my 2015 key and membership? Cheers,

Hi everyone, I bought my 10yr old son a beta evo 80 for Christmas, I'm in the North East, I have a beta 300rr myself but thought he would do best learning properly on a trials bike. How difficult are trials events for children? What category would he be in, he's been on it twice and he's picking up gears etc and clutch control (although it needs moving closer to the bar a little). My local dealer does the passes for Croft trials club in Darlington so I'll get him registered although I'd like somewhere we could ride together. Any advice to get my son doing some events would be fantastic. Thanks in advance. I'll be getting him a trials helmet this week

Hi, Anyone familiar with the roads near to parkwood?? Given all the flooding ongoing is the venue going to be reachable? Would like to go tomorrow as it's the only day forecast for no or light rain! Cheers

Sitting watching the sports personality of the year annual show and not one mention of the achievements of our ladies in trials on the world stage . Emma Bristow Ladies world champion and our ladies winning the Trials des Nations again .. ACU pull your finger out and raise the profile of our sport , as the governing body it falls as part of your mandate to promote and raise awareness of the sport of Trials and what better platform than this programme, let's see if the ACU can do better next year !!!!

Anyone know if this trial is on? time/location? Its listed here http://www.midlandcentreacu.org.uk/page26.htmlbut has no detail and is not in the T&Mx... Cheers

Hi All, Went practicing at Cliviger on Friday last, was talking to the farmer/landowner and he mentioned that travellers/gypsies were aware the top gate was not locked and had been known to sneak down and steal stone/metal from his yard at the bottom. I'd been having a problem with my van central locking in that it would alarm fully but not lock the side sliding door, hence I had removed everything from inside. When I returned from the hill after an hour the side door had been opened and alarm activated. I'd advise removing all valuables tools etc from your vehicle before attending - can't imagine they wont bother breaking in if they think something might …

Are any of the regular Sammy Miller riders going to ride the IOM round in 2016? Seems a very very expensive trip just to ride one event.
