ACU Discussion

Lets be honest off road motorcycling (trials) has a bad image, albeit with the un-informed public who assume that anyone riding a trials bike is some marauding balaclava wearing youth out to destroy the peace and tranquility of the countryside. Some of the looks I've been given off rambers would have curdled milk, even after I've done the customary nod of the head and greeted them with a, ''Good Morning''. The real truth is very far from that. We are a family sport, consisting of people from all walks of life, who enjoy the countryside in a responsible manner. To help improve our sports standing amongst other countryside users has the ACU or should thay consider employi…

Mine doesn't have a photo on as I did it online and it didn't ask for one does it matter and how can I get a photo on it when I renew it

are the acu anything to do with the dvla.

Where did that come from??? We now have a Expert List. Expert A and Youth A list and now a three tier Expert B list. Looks like the Gap year was a waste of time.

Our club has recently been given permission to use a brand new venue to stage a trial. New venue, new sections. That doesn't happen very oftenthese days. What's more, it has a club house and a large carpark and the course can be a mile or more round each lap. We needed to impress the owner. We would like to go there again. With this in mind, I held a briefing in the club house prior to any bikes being ridden. I explained that we needed to be on our best behaviour etc. It poured down. Three of the sections deteriorated a little and became very muddy, but overall things went very well. Until, that is I returned to the carpark to find a rider pressure washing his bike. …

Does anyone know when the dates for next years nationals will be released?

Why can't minders in youth champs have bikes and sign on etc?

So what has happened to the footage of the Ladies training day they are supposed to broadcast???

Hello All in UK Don't really know where to post but assumed that some gasgas rider would know. Last rode trials in 2002.. instantly stopped due to injury.. about to start again. What's the current postion regarding trials licence. As just giving it a try for a couple of trials to see if injury now OK. Can you get day membership of ACU for riding a single trial. Don't mind paying club membership fee but not too keen on paying for a licence I may only use once or twice. Thanks

A long explanation – with a short shelf life. As a starting point for any future debate I feel it is quite important to look at the ACU structure – in a sort of historical way if you like. I apologise in advance to those like Rabie, Start C and many others who obviously already know all this – but I really do get the impression that many do not – and this then often sets us off on unnecessary deviations. So - although boring – please allow me to start at the beginning so to speak. I will obviously take a simplistic approach. This will obviously be long – so I suggest Andy leaves it on a few days and then just deletes it – and we can discuss matters which I am sure …

As a club secretary I'm trying to do the annual download of unique ACU codes so that members can re-affiliate. 2019 codes now appear to be available when I log on - I'm given the option to download either excel or csv, but when I click on either option I'm met with a blank screen and no download. Anyone else having similar problems?

I applied for a competition licence to compete in Baja events in the UAE, as I have an ACU Trials Competition Licence the ATCUAE required a rider release letter from the ACU. I e-mailed the licence department in Rugby and got the necessary letter within hours. People are always quick to have a go at the ACU so its only fair that they deserve credit for giving such a good service to a member. On another note the cost of a ACU trials licence is a great dealer cheaper than a ATCUAE one. So well done the ACU.

I ride with both ACU and AMCA clubs and i was wondering if AMCA is also no stop? In the AMCA events ive been riding no stop. Cheers,

On reading the CLASS ENTERED section for the tradional championship ( the regulations say the same) . It states if you enter ,for instance.... class E 'Machines not in class A ( pre 75)...class B (twinshock)or class C ( aircooled) ridden by rider over 50'. Now the classes A,E and F on some rounds get an easier route ( which is a good idea), if you are an over 50 rider riding say, a twinshock, does the wording above mean you cannot enter the twinshock in class E OVER 50. hope it makes sence??

Hi there, i'm rather confused with the acu licence form, what boxes do i need to tick for trials registration, i was a member about 2 years back, and now just getting back into trials and i remember it was about 30 pounds, has it gone up? Much Appriciated Reguards Richard

Does anyone know when the national dates for 2012 will be available? There is normally a list on the ACU website, but I've not seen it yet. Many thanks

has the acu made a decision on stop / no stop for next years youth championships ?

The ACU have updated the website, however on the old one you could see the upto date Trials Championship tables i.e. BTC, Novagar, Traditional etc. I can no longer find them, nor the list of rounds. Is it me? Anyone point me in the right direction.

hi there, i was filling out my registration form and it says youth a,b,c,d at the moment i am classed as a youth a and i would have to ride a 125cc but in a few months time i am 17 so does this mean that i can ride 250 and above? and it also says that for persons that are 16 and above are classed as adults so does this mean i could ride a 250cc now or not?i am only planning on riding clubman trials if this helps. thanks.

has the a.c.u. training squad been named yet?
