Another scrumptious MCCNSW Newsletter:
Hi All,
Great news! The MCC are pleased to announce that our February 2021 meeting will be our first “face-to-face” meeting with delegates and friends of the MCC. It seems a long-time coming and I’m really looking forward to seeing and speaking with you all at Club Ryde.
Please delegates, invite as many members from your clubs to attend. It is important for the MCC committee to reconnect with as many of our members as possible on this momentous occasion of a legal gathering of like-minded individuals.
The ongoing issue with CTP scheme The MCC will not stop battling for the best and fairest outcome for motorcyclists of NSW.
If you are encountering problems with making a CTP claim you should contact your club delegate or any member of the MCC committee directly. We may be able to assist you. SIRA (the regulator of CTP insurance) has proven to be open to investigate some cases where special circumstances are involved.
Motorcycle Awareness Month 2020MAM went well this year with many events organised on a much lower profile due to the damn Covid.
One of the more notable events was the Cessnock City Council Joe Rider campaign, which was a joint-venture between several of the councils of the Upper Hunter region.
The event received 605 sightings which is a fantastic result. The MCC is pleased and proud that we were invited as guest speakers to the opening of this inaugural event. We also received good airtime coverage on NBN Newcastle local news.
A big thank you goes to the Road Safety Officers who organised and ran the event from all those councils involved.
MotoCAP going from strength to strength The Five-star rating system for motorcycle safety clothing have seen many manufacturers being added to the list. This rating system quantifies the claims of manufacturers that their products perform as advertised.
Due to the MCC’s efforts, several committee members recently attended a demonstration at Crashlab. The facility and their testing regime is very impressive. We also received good air-time on local news media.
Trail Riders subcommittee at MCC Several people have boldly stepped forward and formed a subcommittee under the MCC. Their first task was information gathering from the various groups and individual trail bike riders.
This rapidly expanding pastime has proven over the past several months to be a valuable means of maintaining a balanced strong mental health as well as physical fitness.
Anyone who enjoys this outdoor activity is invited to join the
Facebook page.
The MCC is eager for any recreational riding groups with a formal or informal structure to join the MCC. This will give your riding group a good solid base of information and support. It also enables us to represent the needs of
all recreational riders of NSW as fervently as we represent all other forms of motorcycling within NSW.
Please check out the MCC website for further details of membership and the activities of the MCC that benefit all motorcyclists of NSW.
So get out there and ride, visit and support our regional communities who are recovering from Covid and bushfires and drop a line to the MCC of where your groups are visiting so others may also benefit.
I’m sure you are all sick of hearing about COVID-19 but do not become complacent as familiarity leads to contempt which, may lead to infection. Please, follow all the instructions and advice from the health professionals especially in washing your hands - a simple and necessary task.
Happy holidays,
Trip
