North Lincs Pre-65 & Twin shocks but they allow modern bikes with no championship points. Run some GOOD trials

thanks for the info

 

will try to find out if hatcliffe is open next weekend

& am planning on doing banovallum on 24th

 

do you get any chance of a bit of practice in the morning on a trial or is it straight in?

[ady witting]

Hi,

 

Yes you can have a bit of practice before the trial once u have got entered but not the sections, usually we get the 1 hour before the start

[025sagsag]

was hoping to try it out at hatcliffe today but have stuff to do..

 

so i'm just gona do the Lincoln club trial tomro'

hopefully i can have a half hour practice in the morning then!

 

i've never watched a trial before, any pointers & basic rules advice would be appreciated.

 

also, how much petrol will i need to take & does anyone know which way the tap is for reserve & on for a 2002 gasgas?

Yes you should be able to ride around before the start but not the sections.

 

I would take 1 can of petrol with you.

 

If you come and see us there we will sort you out and my dad will run the bike with you. We are in a big Blue Renault Master with Holmestead on the side of it. (Reg EY08 DCE) We will be there from about 9 - 9.30 ish. it starts at 10.30/ 11am
