I've had contact from a Trials Rider in Brazil who's moving to London and looking to buy a bike and sort out some riding in the area. 3rd in Brazilian Championship 2001-2004, got about

which side of london i.e north, west etc because you could give him a list of clubs local to the area available on ACU website i think

As for a bike he can have my 02 beta for

for south of the river look at the south eastern centre; check out; http://www.acu.org.uk/directory/centre.aspx?id=13, http://www.trialsinfo.com/, http://www.nktc.org.uk/, http://www.thamesvalleytrials.co.uk/ and the SEC ACU links on my clubs website http://www.sidcupmotorcycleclub.co.uk/

if your the Essex end of London then the eastern centre is worth a look - http://www.easternacu.info/ or http://www.acu.org.uk/directory/centre.aspx?id=3

i haven't got any link for the other portion, the south midland centre (M3 round to M11) - http://www.acu.org.uk/directory/centre.aspx?id=15

there is a tiny portion of the southern centre (http://www.acu.org.uk/directory/centre.aspx?id=14) near London (Berkshire, M3 to M4, area) - North Berks MCC, et all IIRC

But most events tend to be "Regional Restricted" or "Open" so joining a trials club around there gets you in

obviously will depend on bike storage and transport and how far they are willing to travel but on the bright side its been estimated that the 4 London/south east centres account for well over a 1/3 of ACU events and all have very healthy trials scene

best come back with some more specifics

BTW you'll get a 4 or so year old modern (any of the big 5) bike for that kind of money check out TMX classifides or
