toetoe Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I could be going to visit two friends of mine in northern Ireland, i was thinking of taking my bike to ride in a local event, close to where they live, do i need to make my self a member of the MCI or can i sign on as a visitor for the day, from what i can see my ACU is not valid there.

eddie_lejeune Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 your ACU license will be valid, you will need start permission though http://www.knockmotorcycleclub.co.uk/TrialsRules14.pdf Also the website above is the main site for trials in NI- with all the dates etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toetoe Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks Eddie, iv had a reply from a club and they are a AMCA club so if I take part in one of their events I will just have to pay £5 membership and £20 to enter, no license required but if I went somewhere else it would be MCUI and that would mean paying £10 for a day license or £30 for a year, the club I’m interested in mentioned ACU but they would have to pay extra for insurance so they’re not to keen on that, thanks for the website link, very helpful.

eddie_lejeune Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 It depends on your level or riding, the amca affiliated club- Moto Trial NI cater more for beginners and clubmen so the hard route in one of their trials would be like clubman in an MCUI trial. So it would cost you £30 to enter an MCUI trial, or £25 to enter Moto Trial NI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toetoe Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 i would be looking for white route/novice, i'v only just managed to finish a trial and that was at earl stilton, besides the people who retired i came last with 151 points but i was so happy that i actually finished a trial and really enjoyed the day, the points didn't matter so thats what i would be hoping for, something on the same lines, i plan on going around march/april time so the weather would be better and i can take the misses and my friends with me for the day, i sent an email to mototrialin.com and a guy named Robert Crawford replied back with some very useful information, it sounds like their events are aimed more at having fun, more than serious competition and that would cost me £25 for the day, £5 membership and £20 to enter, thanks again for the information.

rusty ken Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 As a novice I have been dragging a pre 65 around the C class at the last couple of mototrial ni events, and can't recommend them highly enough. The focus is on a good day's fun, the venues have been great, the sections are manageable, and everyone is very friendly and helpful. Since the club started there has been a huge increase in interest with over 150 bikes of all classes at the last event. If you are going to be in NI then I'd definately recommend that you give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
