Looking to get back into trials after many years off, rebuilding a Sherpa T to ride and I do not see a lot of vintage competitions available in socal or elsewhere, I know it is big in Europe but does not seem that way here, am I better off just competing at another level instead of bike type?  

It's quite normal for people to ride twinshock bikes in events that don't have a twinshock class

If there are any local AMA district trials near you just ride those in the novice or intermediate class. I have to do that on my Sherpa T because of no twinshock events anywhere near me and it's still a lot of fun.

I would be surprised if socal didn't have twinshock classes for their "normal" events. Sacramento PITS (Northern cali) runs twinshocks with modern bikes at all of our events. They get their own class per line so you don't have to compete directly against modern equipment.

I hope your right, love the Sac area, but a long drive from socal. I anyone knows a club down here that runs that class im all ears.
