Kingswood as they have 4 or 5 club trials a year plus 2 centre championship rounds all based around Bristol...... But it don't really matter as you can ride almost anywhere with one club and a ACU licence.... http://www.kingswoodmcc.co.uk/

5 gears vs 6 gears. whats your opinion?
In the UK we have many trials that use the road to link groups of sections in differing locations. Like the SSDT and many others. Without a road gear we would be knakered be it 5th on a 5 speed box or 6th on a 6 speed.. So it's not useless.....

ty 125cc on road
Make sure you can get a dating letter from the frame number first. Don't bother getting MOT's etc until that's sorted although no harm in ordering the forms you need like the v55/5. The dating letter will have to come from Yamaha UK as the DVLA will only accept dating letters from the manufacturer if they are still in business. They will make a small charge. Without it you will have to have a "Q" plate which doubles or triples your insurance. The rest is easy, Almost the same procedure for any older bike. If you google your find 1000's of posts with advice on it. The only thing that differs for a trials bike is most have the MOT on the frame number without lights so that will be an advisory on the MOT paper work which is not a problem. On the V/55 form "Type Approval" question put "Exempt". The reason is "TRIALS BIKE" or it will be rejected. You could put "enduro bike" or "over 10 years old" as none require type approval. Some bikes will be selected for inspection by the DVLA. Someone comes out on a arranged date. They will only want to check frame and engine numbers. If they are not clear or look iffy again it will be rejected for any type of registration.

Stained barrel
Just wash with a bike cleaner like 6T9 or Muckoff. Mine is the same if just power washed with water. Spray this on and it's fine.... https://team6t9.com/product/blue/

300 FANTIC PROFESSIONAL 1984
It's 1984. They only made them that year.. The Fantics went mono shock the year after. It's a 250cc. Not 300cc Fantic went bust a few times. Although Fantics are still made, it was another company who purchased the name so no parts available from them. A good few trials specialists such as In Motion plus others in the UK + places in France and Italy seem to keep most items and post around the world. A few bike breakers also have parts. https://www.inmotiontrials.com/ http://www.fanticmotor.asso.fr/r02.htm http://www.bosisiomotori.it/home/ http://www.equipementmotard.com/index.php?cPath=219 http://www.r2wtrials.co.uk/html_files/bobwright.html Attached is a Fantic 300 riders manual, Non English & a parts list... Someone may have a English version but this should help. Tyres, inner tubes, oils, throttle cables, metric nuts & bolts, chains and other common items should be available from most local trials dealers in Canada as the same on many model bikes. Have fun...
