Trails Comp on Public land

[Phoenix]

I currently have my trials bike conditionally registered. This allows you to ride on public areas, and some state forests (some require additional permits) Although some shires do not accept bikes at all. period. But we have managed to ride in the state forests up here without hassle (we're in the good word with the local council member). Conditional rego meant just to record the details of the bike, did not need lights or indicators, and are restricted to the hours of use and locations of drop off.

do you need your bike licence as well? What bike do you have?

Trials riders are very shy.
Come on people, is is too much to ask to get some feed back?
Did you all realise that no motorsport event can legally be run on private property, without Council permit?

My questions are
Would you be prepared as a rider to pay a premium for the privilage?
Would you be prepared to have your bike recreational Registered?

I sense some frustration in getting answers/view points to your questions.

Since you asked, I don't think I would pay very much to have any form of rego for my trials bike to ride on public land. I have to many private land options at the moment. When I want to ride in public areas I just use my other regoed bike. Maybe I am not the right person to ask or I have missed the question? If I did not have so many options of places to ride then I would have a diffrent point of view or maybe I would not have bought into the Trials sport.

I realy only see the need to ride on public land if it was for some kind of demonstration or compitition event then you would have all the licences and permits for such event if you could get them or you will again us private land.

What do you mean by public land ? State Forestry, National Parks, Crown land in and around townships?

I know some forestry tracks that would be fun and some real rock/slopes that would test the best but very out of the way. Using the local crown land would piss a few people off.

If the majority of people thought riding on public land was a real need for them I would be happy to support them and the concept for the progression of the sport.

OK, I have had my say.

The rec reg bit is not so hard and it is cheap if you plan on keeping a bike for years. The killer is the stamp duty! You will never get riders that change over bikes every 1-2 years to pay $40 per $1k in stamp duty every time they rego a new bike. I roll over demos and pay the duty because it is worth it to me to ride in the bush and be seen (legally).

What you need is DSE to agree to MAV insurance and an exclusion area of other riders and bikes so no rego is required. It is a sweat idea but the seat polishers have us hog tied and bowel twisted and are working their way into private land too! I admire your intent, but the red tape has us by the front sprochets!

This must be a Victorian thing I can work out from you original post??? (your details are a bit sketchy to what state you are in) and you might like to clarify this, as this seems to be a problem for you over there. Sorry I cant add anything to help you, as we dont have this problem West.

This all depends on the legislation and requirements for each state too, because they will all differ. Our Enduro's in Wa are held under similar to what has been described in the replies, a concessional licence etc
