if MNSW stepped up and ran the titles in Canberra it wouldn`t have been an australian title it would have been a nsw title. so good on the Queenslander`s for saving the aussie title.

?? How did you work that out.


It takes more than just the governing body to put an event on, it also need the clubs to be interested and support it, if the right people aren't pushing for it then it ain't gonna happen.

[Davey Crocket]

Maybe MA is feeling the pinch with events being cancelled everywhere and have told the State bodies to step up and run events....money would be the only consideration to them I would think (like how to get more out of us) This is where I don't understand MNSW, I know you have that stupid Speedway act but if there where more tracks in NSW then there would be more events/riding....and more money for them and MA. You guys in NSW need to get some pollie's on board, tell them how great motorcycling is for youth.....motor functions, health (we are an obese country), team players, bla, bla ,bla. Get a delegation together (pollies/councillers/govt departments/motorcycle industry etc) and come up to QMP, Ray would be only to happy to show them around and talk of the benefits.....there you go Nathan, hold your hand up and be part of it. It's money printing machine.

Clear defined roles of Scrutineers.....WOW FINALLY!!!!

[Nathan S]

All seems warm and fuzzy and that the Commission is keen to listen.... until anyone talks about Evo... FFS.

Logbooks worry me because lots of people drag bikes out of the shed and go racing (even at National level). Unless the logbook is free or very close to free, and very easy to obtain, then they'll be a dis-incentive for people to enter.
We're not historic road racing - the budgets and the egos are much smaller.

[Ted]

I find it strange that a guy appointed to investigate the Commissioner is in attendance and advising on rules and technical matters with him.

I wonder if the shop will take back the chain guard I welded to my swingarm now that it is, after all, ok to trap your body parts in the final drive. FFS

[supersenior 50]

Ted, would you please expand on what you find strange. Do you feel the person you allude to is either biased or incompetent? When you elaborate on that perhaps you could expand on who or what you think brought about the chain guard issue. I also fitted guards to four bikes (sure didn't weld them though) so am interested in your take on that issue.
If you could be more specific it may provide the basis for constructive discussion.

[Nathan S]

MA appointed a supposedly impartial person to investigate the complaints made against the chair of the commission. Now the investigator is sitting in on Commission meetings, which could appear to be a sign of partiality.

[KTM47]

I think the criticism of the MA appointed investigator is unfair. Read the minutes, one commission member withdraw from the discussion RE EVO rules.
