The discipline of

trials is very different to any other motorsport as it is a non-speed facet. Points are given if a foot is place on the ground, the motorcycle moves backwards, the rider falls off the bike, bike exists the section by crossing over the tape that surrounds it, or by not following all arrows. Therefore, the aim of the sport is to lose the least number of points. At a typical ‘trial’ there will be 4 laps of 10 different sections with an entry and exit gate. The purpose of the sport is to enter the section (at the entry gate) and follow the arrows which correspond to the grade you are riding, upon completion of this you will exit the section (through the exit gate). Points system is implemented as such:
A foot touches the ground once – 1 point
A foot touches the ground twice – 2 points
A foot touches the ground three or more times – 3 points
Bike exists the section by crossing over the tape – 5 points
Rider falls off the bike – 5 points
Bike rolls backwards – 5 points
(There are other complex rules, however these are the most common)

Throughout the course of a year there are annually between 11-12 trials held, as well as practice/coaching days concluded across both summer and winter series’. Full year licenses and one event licenses are available on Ridernet. There are 5 motorcycle clubs within SA that include trials, these are:

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Today we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and spirit of all who have served.

Red, purple, and white poppies remind us of lives lost, the animals who served alongside them, and a shared hope for peace.

The ANZAC spirit lives on through courage, endurance, and mateship.

Lest we forget. 🌺

Vale Trevor Diener.

The Trials SA community mourns the loss of a true stalwart of our sport. Trevor was not only an accomplished competitor, but a constant and familiar presence within our trials family.

His passion, knowledge, and willingness to support others will be deeply missed by all who rode alongside him and had the pleasure of chatting with Trev.

Our thoughts are with his family and all who knew him.

Vale Trevor Diener
02 August 1947 – 19 April 2026

Motorcycling South Australia is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Hall of Fame inductee and Life Member Trevor Diener.

Trevor was a true legend of South Australian motorcycling, whose contribution to the sport extended far beyond his remarkable achievements on the bike. As part of one of Australia’s most successful sidecar trials teams, Trevor helped define excellence in the discipline, achieving outstanding success at both state and national level.

His induction into the Motorcycling SA Hall of Fame in 2019 recognised not only his achievements, but his lifelong dedication to the sport he loved.

Equally respected for his work off the bike, Trevor was a passionate supporter of clubs, events, and fellow riders. Recently, he was trackside doing what he loved, a reflection of his unwavering commitment to the motorcycling community.

Trevor’s legacy is one of excellence, humility, and service. He will be remembered not only for what he achieved, but for the way he supported and inspired those around him.

Our thoughts are with Trevor’s wife Jenny, his family, and all who knew him during this difficult time.

In honour of your memory, Trevor. Your contribution to motorcycling in South Australia will never be forgotten.
