rtm Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I am making a comeback to trials soon on a twinshock. I now live in Gloucester, are there any clubs which run twinshock classes locally? Do I need to wear a crash helmet these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Should be plenty of Trials around Glos, have a look on the Western Centre ACU site, shows all the Trials for the year and neighbouring centres, why would,nt you want to wear a crash helmet? pretty sure you have to now,amazes me anyone would ride without one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtm Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 No issue with wearing one other than I dont have a trials lid. I have full face helmets but no trials lid. I thought it was compulsary in ACU events but still optional in AMCA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Not sure on that mate, you'll be nice and close in Glos to BVM Moto, loads of spares and clothing based in Stroud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon v8 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 The Golden valley club have a trial on Sunday if you are interested,usually quite a varied selection of bikes/abilities. Its at Climperwell farm 2 miles south of Birdlip on the B4070. I'll be wobbling round on my Ty - if its dry on the hard route,wet it'll be the easy route.Its AMCA,and you are required to wear a helmet.

rtm Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I know kilkenney and nettlton as I ran a C90 endurance mx race there a couple of years back but not agges. I have a Fantic 200 that I am going to put back together. Funny story really, I actually had a dream about 6 or 7 years ago that I had a fantic 200 in my parents shed. It was that real that I called my dad in the morning and had him go out and check. I did! Its a real dog but its the basis of my machine. My dad recons I was given it when I was a kid and its sat there ever since. had a similar dream about a DB9 but that didnt come true.

rtm Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I had a bimble about in the woods this morning with my daughter. Meet a couple of very very friendly people and now cannot wait formy first event. The sections looked perfect for my ability. I think I'd do ok on the hard course, I'll get a few hours under my belt before I decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
