Good onya Kevin, KTM47. What a guy....outlining any problem with the MOMS and forcing us guys with pre 75 and older machinery to mount something that was never on our bikes in the first place. All because one stupid moron hurt himself while helping to pick up a bike! I say, STOP WORKING FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES and start lifting our sport back to where it once was in the 80's. You lot are all the same once you get a sniff of power.

Thank you for your kind words TBM.  All I have done is let MA know there is a problem.  Sooner or later they would have found it.  I could have just kept quite about letting them know but that is not my way.  Also NSW were going to enforce it anyway.  People want rules clarified well that is what they have got.

 16.15.4.6 Other than CMX/CDT A chain guard made of suitable material must be fitted in a way to prevent trapping between the lower drive chain run and the final drive sprocket at the rear wheel.

There you go Ted your original question has been answered.

http://moms.org.au/rules/18-classic-motocross-dirt-track/18-4-machine-and-class-identification-classic-mx-dirt-track/

So is a change going to be made to Motocross and Supercross regs:


15.22.8 Drive chain protection
 
 
15.22.8.1 Front sprocket may be guarded so as to prevent direct access to the chain or sprockets with the fingers.

No mention anywhere about chain gaurds

I could of kept quiet as well, but it's not in my nature either. It's a ridiculous rule that came from the brain of someone who has nothing better to do with their time than to amend rules that have been working for decades, and you supported it. So I just told it as I see it. It's not going to prevent bugger all incidents in the greater scheme of things and now the license paying, fee paying, entertainment providing riders have to modify their bike(s). We're not professionals, we don't have sponsors, most of us work on our own bikes make sure we stay within the set rules and pay through the nose to attend MA sanctioned meetings.
How about giving SOMETHING back to the sport other than a poxy little museum in a box sized room that no one gets to see! Us clubbies, the bread and butter of the sport, get screwed from every which way while the real pros who get paid to ride get support from MA. I'm jack of it.

Yes Ted I can look at it and read it ::)

I want to download it and be able to print it so I can take it to a meeting. Surprising as it may seem many most racers don't read these posts

Does any of this pass?  Lucky it came off on the last lap :o.  I have never run a front sprocket cover and not about to start.  Stupid rule!  I'm an MA official just not a very good one ::)
