European Trials

Can anyone suggest any websites or clubs that I can contact as a group of Southern middle aged clubman would like to wobble and fall off around Southern Belgium later in the year? Somewhere in the Ardennes or Namur etc would be good.

Apparently Luxembourg is allowing roll backs as long as feet is off the ground. 2 min time limits and stops with foot down is still a point. Belgium is allowing stops as well even though they really tried the no stop thing last year. Hrmmmm have the people spoken? --Biff

Looking for someone to be the third member of three man team riding in this years trial riding the Expert class. If you have ever fancied riding in the event, but cannot get a team together please email me via the site. The trial , a national is not really hard, so would suit someone used to this type of event who rides regulary.

The pre entries for this trial open 27/06, apparently there will be a full explanation in English this year, as " must have documents " to ride have changed from previous years, as it is being run under a new federation . I understand a full effort is being made to welcome non French riders, but as yet that's all I know. Bear in mind an entry is not deemed accepted until all relavent paper work is received and agreed. As explained on a previous thread, regarding this trial you need a three man team, or you get teamed up with other Larry no mates.....so you might spend the weekend speaking French or Spanish. Hope that helps

www.ventoux-trial-classic.com The entries are now open for this trial. For information on what you need to do and organise to do this, look on the thread below Mont ventoux 2015. Excellent trial, hope to see some of Brits that came last year, again this year.

Speaking to some chums yesterday, the word is that this might be the last ever trial held there. Apparently there are Mayorial elections next year, and there is a new candidate, who if elected wants to turn this whole area into a natural park. Result, no motobikes... So, whilst not set in stone, anybody who has always wanted to ride or its on a bucket list, I suggest when the entries come out later in the summer, to do it. There is a previous thread on what you need to do and how your bike needs to be... will be a real shame if it goes its the best two day twinshock / Pre 65 in France.

Whilst quite a while off, the dates have been set for the Classic trial in Mont Ventoux Provence for the 14th and 15 th October. Those who fancy a European adventure this comes highly recommended, for how it all works, and information please look at previous posts here over the last two years. Regs normally come out around the end of July, and its advisable to get in early with entry and booking accommadation .

Hola, Very simply I can't find any info on the interweb about the weight of the little Cota, either with or without fluids. Does pesó en vacío translate to empty weight? Unless it's 55Kg. Anybody know if that's correct? Any links to the Bikes specifications that might list its weight? Gracias

I'd like suggestions for something in a beautiful place on either the second weekend (13-14) or the third (20-21). And suitable for a beginner as perhaps I bit off a little more than I could chew with the SSDT. I'm an incurable optimist and am sure I'm going to have the most awesome time!

Hi! I have no idea where to put this, but I suppose this is the best place. As I suppose most of the polish riders are often checking Trialscentral.com looking for an advice or other stuff, but they have no idea that there is a polish forum (as for example me - always on TC, not knowing that there can be a polish forum ). So, I have thought that the best way of advertising it is to post it here, because the polish forum is still fresh, kind of deserted and not very well positioned on google. I hope that it gets some response http://trial-arena.org.pl/forum/ Cheers!

Somebody going to this event? I am... http://www.msig-gressenich.de/

A very welcome announcement from the Belgian Motorcycle Union: "After a thorough evaluation showed that it was better for our national competitions to return to normal 'stop' formula."

It remains a little place near Liège in Belgium where people can still do a little trial ... Without causing any ecological damages or neighborhood disorder ! Of course, some "neo-ecologists" attempt to classify the area as "Natura 2000" (protected area of ecological interest) You can appreciate the "ecological interest" of this place which was laid out and cleared of rubbish by people who took care : If you can help, sign the petition to show your opposition here : https://www.lapetiti...ment-12385.html Thank you for them.

Please note that due to some enviromental law changes, Robregordo has to move dates from May to autum time. The dates chosen are 3 & 4 October 2015. The bad news are that we will have to wait now 13 months untill the next edition of the trial. The good news are that Robregordo will continue going for some years to come in the new dates. Also Motoclub Sotobike will introduce some improvements. If you want to take part, please contact me by PM and the club will assist you with your entries and paddock hotel booking.

Out of interest if anybody would like to see the runners and riders for this trial they are published on the French Classic trials site. Forum Trial En Ancienne. Scroll to Manifestations and look for the Saint Feliu thread. Few Brits making the trip.. safe journey . This trial goes from strenght to strenght.

I've just seen the results from the recent Spanish championship round and the first 4 riders all finished "clean" after having their scores wiped because of time bonus points. The riders seem to be getting 10-20 bonus points each lap deducted from their scores for time bonuses. The top lads were dropping 5-15 actual marks a lap so they were ending up on zero. Anyone know anything about it? It seems a bit stupid to me.

Are there any forum members living in Spain and riding with Spanish clubs? Interested to know how licensing works, how clubs are run, if they mostly have their own land to practice on, that sort of thing? Thanks in advance ?
