KMCC TO RUN 50th RELIABILITY TRIAL
2010 will see the Keyneton MCC celebrate 50 years of running their Reliability Trial, which started in 1961. The 2010 event will run for 8 hours duration, 2 laps of 4 hours, starting at the KMCC Clubrooms. If you've ridden in the Trial between 1961 and the present day and have still got the trusty steed sitting in the shed how about throwing the leg over one more time, just to see if you’ve still ‘got it’ by having a ride in the rally class. more info>

 
KMCC CELEBRATES 60TH ANNIVERSARY
2010 will see the Keyneton MCC have a double celebration, celebrating it's diamond jubilee, or 60th birthday. The Mike Connors Reliability Trial will also be run for the 50th time this year.
 
The club would like to celebrate the occasion with you in a night of nostalgia and memories at the Keyneton Motorcycle Clubrooms on Flaxmans Valley Road Wilton. more info>

LOG BOOKS IN RELIABILITY TRIALS

A log book will be supplied free to open competitors riding Reliability Trials, the same book (issued only once to each competitor) must be presented by the competitor (who's name is labelled within) at each round of the Series as part of the necessary documents produced.

The book will be available at all rounds of the series unless demand exceeds supply. Then they can be obtained at the next event.

No penalty is imposed if the first log book cannot be obtained for the first ride due to lack of supply.
The log book is designed to last for at least 4 years, allowing for change of motorcycle during this period.  The book goes with the rider not the bike.
The book is designed to record faults with both the bike and riding gear of the rider or passenger (in the case of sidecars.)

All log books are numbered and these numbers are recorded on a data base for tracking.

Faults have to be rectified for the next event of the series ridden.
For lost log books there is a 300 point penalty which will be imposed and a $30 fee which may be imposed to replace the log book.
On proof of the old book being full a new book will be issued free of charge.
 
NEWSLETTERS & WEBSITE STORIES
The Club’s Publicity Officers Chris Caust and Andrew Warnest will be at it again in 2010 to keep all members informed on happenings in and around the Club, and also to increase the profile of the Club in the community.
Any stories from all events that members compete in are most welcome. All members are welcome to self promote themselves, and their sponsors as we can’t possibly get to all events, so let us know.

JUNIOR COACHING PROGRAM
From 1st July 2006, Motorcycling Australia and Motorcycling South Australia have introduced a Junior Coaching Program to assist with the coaching and development of junior riders.
What this means to junior club members is that to compete at a competitive club day, they will have to have a log book to compete. This only applies to riders over 7 years and under 16years of age. Juniors under 7 years will be able to ride with a one event recreation licence on a separate track as happens now.
 
How do you get a logbook?   If you have ridden at a competitive club day prior to the 1st of July 2006 on a one event licence and you have the copy of that licence, the club or Jim Haseldine can supply a form to be filled in with your details and attach a copy of your 'one event licence' and send to Motorcycling SA and you will receive a log book. If you have ridden but can’t find your copy, the club has a copy of the licence and if you let Jim know he will locate it and get a copy to you. Otherwise you have to attend a Kick Start Program.
This includes a 5 hour course, which you have to sit and pass and then you will be issued with a log book.
Jim Haseldine has attended a training course and is part way through being accredited as a coach and the club is getting more members accredited as coaches as soon as possible to assist you with coaching. If you do the Kick Start Program you have to sit the test with an accredited coach.
 
The idea of the Junior Coaching Program is to ensure that juniors know how to control a motorcycle before being allowed on the track. The coaching does included some theory and a test, which has to be passed with 23 out of 25 questions correct. This is what is called an open book test and the coach can assist you in where to find the answers as they are all multi choice questions were sure every one will receive 25 out of 25. There is a riding test to take and pass, but it is to prove if you can ride and control a motorcycle.
All we want to know is can you start and stop your bike safely and display basic riding skills.
I have not seen any one at a club day that could not pass the test easily. You don’t have to be able to rail a berm or nail a triple jump. The Keyneton Motorcycle Club will do every thing to help you get out there and ride your bike.
