I tried to sign up for membership and the app error-ed out on payment option. I tried both paypal (first) and then CC. Help
I’m sorry for the difficulty. So far there are 44 renewals, but 4 other people have run into the same problem. It’s been impossible to nail down and seems to be a browser, computer or internet connection issue. Different workarounds have worked for different people. Rebooting the computer worked in one case. Using the Microsoft Edge browser instead of Chrome worked in another. Switching from an iPhone to an android worked in anther. Trying again after making sure you have a strong WiFi signal worked in the other.
I THINK it worked this time./..
I live in Western BC and would like to convince my partner to move to New England (where I’m from). He is an advanced trials rider. Where are the best riding areas in NH, VT, Maine or Mass (and the most riders). This might be too big a question, but I would like to get some idea. Perhaps there is a better forum for this?
Hi Allison,
The best trials location in New England (and perhaps the United States) is in Rhode Island. Both National & World Rounds have been held there. A good way to connect with people and local clubs is via the NETA Facebook group.

Hi,
Are the dates for NETA events correct? They appear to fall on Tuesdays rather then Sundays.
Thanks,
Hi Bob, Those dates are for 2023. The 2024 schedule probably will not be published until after the banquet in Feb.
Oops, please disregard.
Hello, I’m looking to pick up a used 250cc 2stroke trials bike. 290cc considered also. I’m in central CT and willing to travel for the right bike. I prefer Sherco but this is for my son to get into trials so any brand will work. My email is dpaw16@yahoo.com . Thank you.
I was just looking to post something like this but seems I already did. I’ve been checking facebook marketplace too but still haven’t found anything. My previous Sherco came from a NETA member, via advrider.com, maybe I’ll try there again.
Thanks,
Dave Pawlyk
HI Dave,
I somehow missed your original comment from back in October. My apologies. In addition to FB Marketplace, check the used bike listings at the Jack’s Cycles website (https://jackscycles.com/used-bikes). Posting an inquiry to the NETA Facebook group might also help find a bike.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/newenglandtrials
Who do I contact for working the catra event in October?
Sorry for the slow response. I sent an email last week to try and get an answer for you, but didn’t get a reply. I’ll try another person today.
Hi Mike,

I have a vintage 1975 Montessa Cota in mint condition with only a few miles on it that I am looking to sell located in Manchester, NH. I was old you had a section on your website to post bikes for sale however I am not able to locate it. Can you please forward me a link to it. I can be reached at sueve@comcast.net
Sorry, we don’t have a for sale section on our website. Jack’s Cycles will list your bike for free. You can also list it on Facebook marketplace or the “Trials Bikes for Sale USA” group.
Hello trials riders, I don’t know if this is the place, but here goes…. I aged out of riding and have a new Jitsie Trials Helmet HT1 Solid Matt grey/grey Large still in box, never used that I would like to sell. Thinking $70. I could meet at trialsevent near Hoosier Falls, NY on Sunday. If anyone is interested my phone# 802 362 1644 in E. Dorset, Vt.
I added a link from the For Sale forum to your comment.
Is there parking at steppingstone for the trials today ?
Sorry, I didn’t check my messages yesterday. There is free parking at the event.
I know this is an old post but is the helmet still available? Thanks.
Not sure why I was scored a DNF @ Brimfield. I handed in 4 cards, is it because I rode non competitive?
Your scores for all 4 loops should be shown. I’ll find out and update in the season results tabulator spreadsheet. It’s almost done and will be available in the next couple of days.
Thanks Dave, I spoke to Leo, he is going too look in to it.
Can anyone please provide the address for the trials event that is coming up this Sunday the 24th in Middletown Ct? Much appreciated
Hi Mark,
Here it is: https://newenglandtrials.com/venues/meriden-motorcycle-club-mmc/
Under the section “clubs and venues”, the link for the Springfield Motorcycle Club should be changed to the new website. Here is the link. https://springfieldmotorcycleclub.wordpress.com/
Done. Thanks for the info.
I think this Comments section should be replaced and folks should instead be directed to the forums with instructions on how to register and post questions there. I am really surprised the NETA has very little online presence and discussion, unlike say the Granite State group on Facebook. We should encourage our members to post there and our NETA leadership should post things there, unlike on the Facebook group (thinking of the Harry Grant message from our President today).
When I say “there” I mean the forums section or someplace where we can have online discussions. The NETA Facebook group does not permit discussions.
I agree that the Forums should be the primary place for questions and comments. However, the Comments section still has a purpose because it allows the general public to post comments or questions. I have revised the text on the comments page to make this clearer.
what is going on for the next season? annual meeting on line?
The board is hoping it’ll be possible to hold events. What happens depends on the Covid situation and what sort of restrictions are in place for public gatherings in the locations where the events are held and our riders live.
There will likely not be an in-person annual meeting. Online is a possibility, but whether it be forum messages, zoom, or whatever has not been determined. If you have suggestions, please put your ideas in a forum post so they can more easily be discussed.

Hey, Dave here from NY. Planning to join NETA and I am looking for a pair of trials boots for my daughter. She is a womens 7 1/2 and probably a size 6 or 61/2 in mens. Anybody have any to sell?
Thanks
Hi,
I don’t know of any boots for sale, but I do have several ideas that might help you find boots. Try posting an inquiry in our forums (I’ll approve your registration), in the advrider.com trials forum or contact Stu Preston at Jack’s Cycles (jackscycles.com). Good luck and stay safe.
This is a nice resource for the ‘new’ folks like us. Thanks Dave (and hi) and everyone else.
Is the 7/27 date supposed to be 9/27 for the RITC event?
You’re right, the date should be 9/27. Thanks.
Will you be posting the link for smuggs mug. I would like to order a few pics from last season.
Hi Karie,
