Paul Lewis writes
We are proposing to run an
inaugural Region 3 competition on 1st. Oct 2011 at Sutton Coldfield
fire station – competition will be based around the
disciplines associated with Advanced Motorcycling as detailed below.
At this stage we are favouring
a format where each group enters a team of 2 Riders for each discipline
– 1 Full Member and 1 Associate – anyone who has become a full
member within 3 months of the competition will be deemed to be an
Associate. Precise format will be finalised once we have response from
clubs.
Observed Ride
– On-road covering dual carriageway, A and B roads – about 20 miles
duration – marking system allows 100 points maximum score – I will
attempt to arrange IAM examiners to conduct the Observed Rides –
failing this we will look for Senior Observers from attending clubs
Slow machine
control – Slow
speed manoeuvrability test around a tight course – 1 practice plus 2
proper attempts – best score to count – start with 100 points, lose
5 points for every foot dab or cone touched
RoadCraft and
Highway Code test
– 25 questions on each topic – 2 points awarded for each correct
answer
Machine
Faults – we
‘adapt’ a machine with 10 faults – ten minutes time limit – 10
points awarded for each identified fault
Venue
– Sutton Coldfield
Eligibility -
Open to any IAM club so if a Region 3 club has close ties to IAM clubs
in other Regions they can pass this invite on but we will give
preference to Region 3 – logistically, there will be an upper limit of
24 contestants – it may be possible for some clubs to enter more than
one 8-person team
Prizes
–
Trophy awarded to the winning club team – determined by points
totalled combined for the 2 entrants – trophy will be sponsored
Prizes for first, second and third in each discipline – funded by an
entrance fee – assuming maximum of 12 clubs entrance fee will be £50
