Hi all, as a newcomer to trials I want to pick a few of your brains,

I have just brought a 2009 gas gas txt pro 250 as a winter break from mx, and I was wondering about the licence situation, I'm going to join my local club ( earl Shilton trials club ) do you need an acu or amca etc licence to compete in trials and do different clubs run with different licences ?

One last thing, where is the best place to find local trial events ?

Cheers for your help, no doubt some of you will be picking me up from under my bike as I have the throttle control of a 6 month old chimpanzee !!

you need an acu license,shilton trial in next couple of weeks you can get it sorted then,

if you joun shilton you can ride there 24/7

look in east mids centre handbook for local trials,you will get one with your license

i

Thanks I don't suppose you know if you can get a day licence do you? I don't want to join then have to rejoin at Xmas ? Cheers, matt.

not sure,look on there web site for a phone number

and give gail a ring

Ok will do cheers for your help

hello!

you should be able to turn up and ride but you will just pay a bit more than there club members to do the trial,

i think they will give you a acu licence form at the trial to fill out and send off for your next trial

ACU trials registration is Jan to Dec. and no day licences. I would wait till Jan if you want to save money but its only a tenner so you may think its worth while paying. If you have an ACU licence for MX then next year you can add trials registration to it for free.

If anyone joins our club in November it will continue into the new full year, We are soooooo generous

your somebody we need to learn from if your a newcomer. how did you come to buy a bike ?

Cheers for all the replies, I have always been a fan of trials having owned a fantic 80 and a twin shock montesa cota 123 when I was younger, but I thought Im finally going to buy one as I only live 10 minutes from the earl Shilton trials ground and as I ride mx most of the year I wanted a change for the winter.

Hope to see some of you soon ! Matt.
