Does anyone know where my boys could ride their electric trial bikes? (Legally) Preferably where there’s obstacles like the woods so they can practice balance ect Near to where I live Lichfield (Staffordshire) thank you

I have been riding bikes for nearly 40 years but last messed around on trials bikes as a teenager. I decided to buy a basket case almost trials cub as a project, well of course the bug has bitten so where do I start, I would like to enter a novice trial when i eventually finish the bike but are there any clubs in the surrey area? any advice welcome, I really dont have a clue where to start.

With the Jotagas due on the UK shores soon,anyone got any ideas who will be the No 1 UK rider???!!! This should be interesting!............................................................

i have just had a look at whats on in the next week or so and in one of the advertisements it gives you the different routs that will be available on the day and one of them is over whatever, does that mean you can have a go at any of the circuits but the points don't count or is it something different.

Both of the venues available to Bedlington club for tomorrows trial are waterlogged. The trial unfortunately has now been cancelled.

I have some parts I want making for a restoration project, I have found it incredibly difficult to find someone to make them, as most company's don't want the work either because it's not in the100 or 1000's of parts or the quote is ridiculous as they don't really want to do it, or because I'm not VAT registered!!! Anyway, can anybody recommend a machinist who might be willing to discuss the work and is either in the Oxfordshire, Wiltshire or Berkshire area. Your help would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice/help concerning the following. I have ridden road bikes for over 20 years but 6 weeks ago had an operation to have a brain tumour removed. The tumour was in the visual part of the brain and the surgery means that I no longer have any peripheral vision on my right hand side. Sadly the vision loss applies to both eyes and so I can no longer hold a DVLA licence. The impairment means that I can't see anything to my right hand side which is frustrating because whilst I can physically ride a bike, I can't perceive hazards approaching thus it is too dangerous for me to either ride on a road or ride in close proximit…

I am sure I read in the TMX calender that the Bemrose was on the 13th March this year. I haven't seen any regs for it yet though. Does anybody know when it is? I know that it is usually at the begining of September. Was it just a misprint in TMX. Cheers Dave

Went along to the Southern Experts (Sunbeam, Sittingbourne and Barham clubs) at the weekend down at Combe Valley, Dover Was a bit cold, but dry. Good ride from Jarvis!!!

Ive got a week booked off work in august and my plans have fallen through, was thinking if any one would be up for finding some where to ride (like shiply glenn) and all booking into a Bed & Breakfast for a night riding in the day, party on the night and then move onto another location?

This weekend and Parkwood offroad, were host to the last round of the Ladies nationals and also the Oset cup. There will be plenty of media and images covering this weekend, so i would like to write a little post to thank a few people. It was a fantastic weekend and a superb event, so on behalf of the riders i would like to give a MASSIVE thank you to Nige + Nick at Trials UK . I can't imagine how much effort it has taken to organise and run an event that was so good, yet still run a very busy shop. However they've done it the fact remains that they did, and it was an A grade event! Also helping out and worthy of a Thank you - Horsforth Committee and also members for …

Hi Just looking for a quick breakdown on the Course and grading on the Reeth 3 day from some of the lads who have ridden it, I can't seem to find much about this online. I entered it as "Hard Course Novice" and not having ridden in the UK before was wondering if its the right choice or not. If someone could just give a rough breakdown of the following I would appreciate it. Whats the difference between the Clubman and the Hard Course? What's the difference between Expert, Intermediate and Novice on the Hard Course? Many Thanks Trevor

Early days but it looks like I'm coming to the UK on business. Naturally my trip has been planned to co-incide with the UK round. I hope the boss doesn't shift it round too much but It does fit in with the people I need to see. I'll be in Swindon or there-abouts, so how difficult will it be to travel from Swindon to Hawkstone assuming I'm in a rental?

should be good , cota kid you going??

Going on my holidays in the summer to Bikersrest( Lower Wembsworthy Farm ) Has anybody got an idear what there is there.

I have just been onto the trial website and discovered that the Old Kings Head has just down. Not sure how long the note has been on the website. If you are riding and have booked yourselves in there (like me) you will need to find somewhere else!!
