Despite our members youthful appearances we were once again able to have a mature debate with good points from both sides of the fence.
While I feel the cutoff date should be moved forward over time the big question is probably when. You don’t wait for your car to run out of petrol before you top it up.
I think sensibly though we took the small step to Pre 88 along with a 3 year shut the fork up clause.
This will give us some stability and allow some other old bikes to ride with us, as mentioned at the start, air cooled KDX’s, last of the Maico’s and Swedish Husqvarna’s among others.
“So if you think there are other machines that should be follow on models email MA requesting they be considered.”
Don’t bother asking MA, our club has always run our own eligibility criteria and as such have run a page on our website listing accepted follow on models.
If you think a bike should be listed then just politely ask from the eligibility page as many have done before.
“Can someone now ride a 1994 TT350 as it identical to the 1986 model in every way other than livery??”
As above, just ask the club, however you will need to give the new committee time for their feet to hit the ground.
“It seems if you weren't overjoyed with this decision (not even being aware that it was being proposed)”
Don’t know why you would think it wouldn’t be brought up, it’s been on the VERi agenda every AGM and I laid my cards on the table here weeks before the AGM
