August 11, 200719 yr I want to find out about LDTs, but there doesn't seem to be much information here or elswhere on line. What's involved and what's the best way to start? Thanks!
August 11, 200719 yr I want to find out about LDTs, but there doesn't seem to be much information here or elswhere on line.What's involved and what's the best way to start? Thanks! The Stratford-Upon-Avon Club run a round of the trail bike championship which is on 23rd September. This is knwon as the OK Supreme LDT and is open to any solo motorcycle which is road registered. It is excellent value for money as you are typically on the machines for four to five hours. The trial is aimed at machines such as Gas Gas Pamperas, Beta Alps and Yamaha Serrows, however many riders enter each year on Enduro bikes such as Honda XR400's. I usually ride my DRZ 400 Suzuki and only loose about a dozen or so marks. The OK Supreme starts at Blackwell Village HAll near Shipston-on-Stour and follows a 75 mile route around the Cotswold Hills which is navigated by use of a written road book and includes small roads, trails and quite a lot of private land normally unavailable to bikes. The competitive part of the event consists of 25 to 30 observed sections on route, most of which are ridden without inspection (So are suitably marked out being wide and straight forward.) I hope this helps to answer your question. Pete
August 16, 200719 yr this site - http://www.eventdirectory.org.uk/ used to list them all (currently down) there are several about all over the place, best look on the enduro type sites (esp bob mullin's enduronews.com, also TBM) for dates bikes ridden range from serious folks on scorpa long rides, though to snesible types on Serrows, TTRs, Pamperas (etc) right up to enduro bikes and even the odd nutter (ktm dakar bikes, etc) trials sections tend to be reltivly easy for a trials rider, becasue they are unseen and most riders have no lock (or trials skills!) down here in the south east there are 3 events in the year; the Sidcup LDT (used to be the OWLS), Timber Woods and the Witley. Regas are out for the Witley (http://www.witleymcc.co.uk/) and you can see reuslts and pic form the other two on the Sidcup website (http://www.sidcupmotorcycleclub.co.uk/) Edited August 16, 200719 yr by rabie
August 16, 200719 yr Author Thanks. Definitely sounds like something I'd like to have a go at. Now I just need to sort myself out a road legal bike . . .
