Stevie gets the cash!

September 9, 2019 John Moffat

The club held its national trial on Sunday 8th September in glorious weather, the 12th Paul Kilbauskas Memorial trial was well supported with 88 riders competing for Scottish Championship points being round 7.

This year we decided to have a prize draw with a good prize, £100 to be exact. Without observers and land, we have no event.

David Kinnear, the factor of Alvie Estates Ltd was on hand in the morning to draw the winning ticket, this identified Inverness club member, Steve Jamieson as the £100 winner.

Fin Yeaman was on hand to photograph Steve with Club Chairman, Grant Coward with the cheque from the club.

SACU set to make Lanyards Compulsory for 2020

September 1, 2019 John Moffat

Just an early ‘heads up’ that all machines used in SACU competitions may have to have kill switch lanyards fitted for the 2020 season.

At present they are only required for Championship trials, but there is an indication that they will need to be fitted to all machines for all SACU trials from 2020 onwards.

The main problem is that they cannot be fitted to older 4 stroke classic machines which use the magneto electrical system, so these may be the only exception.

It is not clear if this will apply to ACU riders who ride in SACU events as they have ACU licences and the rule at present does not apply.

More information will be released from the SACU at the appropriate time, but it may be a good idea to get a lanyard kill switch fitted to your bike sooner rather than later.
