February 6, 201214 yr I am considering my first SSDT in 2013 (although more likely to be 2014). Just wondering how 'legal' myself and my bike need to be, I know I'll have to take my bike test however I'm not sure what insurance etc would be required. Also, how much would I expect the week to cost including entry etc?

Best to download a set of regulations from the SSDT website, bike must be legal for the road and rider must have the correct drivers licence for the machine on the public highway.

February 7, 201214 yr 9 x 7 number plate. Next time you see a rider at the Scottish with a plate that size will be the first time

February 7, 201214 yr i'd visit the trial to get a idea before sending in an entry.. 9x7 plates are the legal sixe but i ve never seen one. as for costs you ll need 8 nights accomadation plus food. plus you have to get to fort william plus entry.. plus consumables.. you ll as a minimum need to allow a couple of hundred for fresh plugs air filters oils tyr etc.. so all in 1200 might do the trick.. thats a expensive holiday of a week..

Bike (125cc) is being registered taxed and insured (MSM includes cover during the trial and very reasonable cost). Entry fee (
February 8, 201214 yr Andat: Can you tell me how you old you need to be to ride a full size bike in the SSDT? My son is 15 now, and I want to have another go at the SSDT with him when he is old enough. He rides a 300 Evo and I dont want to subject him to the Scottish on a 125 now. Steve

Steve In the UK you can't ride a motorcycle on the road until you are 17. The SSDT has a lot of road work so you must be road leagal. If you haven't passed your riding test then you will be limited to a 125....Pass you test and a 300 should be OK.

Unfortunately that isn't the case anymore for those who pass a test in the UK for 17-19 yr olds, they are now restricted to 125's, though I see the chap if from Canada, so maybe best to pass a test over there where I assume the laws are different.
