Thank you both. That's good advice and info. I think it would be worth investing a few quid in a day or two of coaching from an expert. What would you say the "welcome" is like at those two clubs for a complete novice? I last rode a trials bike in 1978 when I had a TY250. I shall now go and take a look at www.cnwtrials.org.uk

Thank you all, and thank you Jools, I've PM'd you. Regards Steve.

Thanks all that's great info for starters, quick too. I'll look up the ACU site. Anybody else on here from Cheshire Area?

Hello all. I'm a 48 year old bloke who has fancied having a go at the old feet up game for ages. I'm from Cheshire. I'm reckoning I can get myself a useable bike for about 800 quid, a twin shock type Beamish Suzuki or a TY250 Yamaha type bike. Or whatever? Where can I learn to ride? Where can I get local advice? What's the score with these bikes, I see some are registered for the road and many are not, indeed have no lights or horn, speedo etc... I have no intention of riding it on the road so what's the score? Any advice, comments appreciated. Regards Steve.
