M.A have advised BMCC that there will be no rule changes before the April meeting, as for 2016 who knows? As always with a National, M.A will appoint an eligibility scrutineer, not our club. Said scrutineer will abide by the M.A interpretation, not mine or anyone else's. It can't be any clearer than that. I'm going to stop talking on this now, come or don't come, it's your money Ralph!

So most people seemed to understand that Evo bikes needed to be built our of parts from Evo bikes.
Some people understood that it was any drum brake forks, any air cooled motor, in any twin shock frame, providing those bits came from a Pre-85 or Pre-90 bike.
The Chair of the Commission, Mr David Tanner, has advised that a bike made from any age parts is OK providing it meets the three criteria.

So which is the "current interpretation"?

I can see that you want it to be simple, but it isn't. If you want your life to be simple, then you need official MA clarification (not an unofficial phone call or private message from Mr Tanner).

Trying to bury your head in the sand is likely to create a shitstorm. If you can get an official MA statement of where the line in the sand is, then it will be respected.

I have no vested interest in this: I sold my Evo bikes because I had the shits over the perpetual uncertainty.
But I am telling you that "just like always" is not going to save you drama - it's going to increase it.

I'll be there with my Pre-90 bikes.

If it turns to poop, it won't be because I sat back and said nothing.

I absolutely will not stir up any trouble.
Want to wager a six pack on whether there will be poop without any input from me?

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure there's too many flared tempers and too many frustrated people for this to go off smoothly without prior clarification.

Which was why I bothered to post.

Hope it all works out: worst case for me is that I can say "I told you so".
Best case is that I'm wrong.

It's gone.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I reckon that will a long time away Hilly, probably never. The original story was that it was not suspicious ( :o ), of course now, the amended story is that it was suspicious. It will be a long time in limbo for the Ravo pub.
