tell me what you think i will use mine for the engine and wheels nothing else!

Went there to see what it was like, I actually went to ride my crosser, but the idea was to case it out for trials too. There were actually quite a few trials bikes there, there is a fair woodland area and some shared jumps (hills for a trials bike). My impression is that it is NOT the best place for trials practice .. OR MX for that matter, but it is open every day and offers a LEGAL playground for offroad stuff and

I'm just returning to trials after a very long lay off and was wondering if there are any practice venues around the Gloucester area? I want to see if I can still do it before entering a competitive trial. Cheers.

Hi as a "returned rider", (under duress from son), I've been looking at the calendar t find events local to me. Found the one mentioned in the topic title and would like to attend, but it appears the secs' telephone number is incorrect - can anyone help? FS.

Do any clubs offer day membership for there closed to club trials on a year round basis. If so has this resulted in any increase in entries.

hi, anyone know who to contact about entering the ilkley grand national? it might be too late already but cant find any regs or contacts for it on google. cheers

Take a look at this post I just read in our local paper. is it any wonder we get a bad name in the eyes of the general public. Click Here

Can anybody offer location / directions to this Sundays British Championship round in the West of England? Thanks.

Going up this weekend, can anyone post any directions if possible, we will be coming from junc15 on the M6 - taking the A53 towards Buxton. Not 100% sure where to turn off the A53 though? do I turn left into the village of Flash and go from there? Any help would be great Many thanks Just

Has the date for th 07 Manx been confirmed yet? I know it is very early but I have been informed I have to go to Belgium for business next August, and wont arrive back until Saturday 25th. If this clashes with the Manx I may have to resign.

Doncaster, what a great place .. Seriously ... Does anyone know of any decent practice areas within say 20 mile radius, where I can take myself and two sons, 9 and 12, Trials riding without getting hassled by either chavs on nicked Honda 90's, 'crossers or the police ? There are a couple fo really good motocross tracks near us, Armthorpe and Austerfield, but they don't like Trials bikes .. We'd travel further for really good places .. We have a couple of areas that are accessible and relatively free of hassle, but not really totally legal, slurry pits etc between the Pilkingtons Glassworks and Thorpe Marsh power station for instance, and not really safe or offering …

I'm getting good info out of this forum - keep it up! Next doubless silly question - where do I get chain and sprocket kits from? My prefered source is Ebay for most things these days but I can only find one vendor doing actual kits, there are a few others doing back / front sprox and possibly chains. To my mind, when one is knackered they are all knackered so you may as well get it all in one kit. I was suprised to find next to nowt in the back of TMX. I know its a minority sport and there isn't much about but there must be a supplier somewhere that you all use surely. Still cannot source a manual for my Beta techno 1999, anyone got a copy? ta

From next year clubs in the UK will have to run trials under the world rules(stop and hop without penalty) or no-stop. What rules will your club be using and will it be a change to any national trials? Will the clubs moving to the new rules be using any timers in the sections? Our club, Sheffield and Hallamshire will be moving to full no stop.

hi im after a trials bike like a beta evo 125. there is many more i would consider just using that as an example. what realistically would the top speed be of a bike like this? im 22 just under 6' and very thin so i dont weigh alot. the reason im asking is if i can avoid it i dont want to have to get a trailer to get to events. if i registered it with the dvla, mot, insurance etc would it be ok to ride on the road? i.e. not too slow i would be a hazard to myself. 125 is the only option because i dont have a motorbike licence. hope someone can help i have been googling for a while but not much has come up. cheers tom

Hi folks Just got a new bike and after my last gasser got nicked I aint taking any chances so I was wondering if any of you fine people knew where to get the best deals for fire, theft and transportation to/from events????

Since Jeroni Will be riding the Ossa??? who will be riding factory Beta in Jeroni's spot? I heard that U.S. champ Cody webb will be on Beta for 2011, and may have some kind of involvment with factory Beta in europe.
