Just found this. One reason why the Wyegate isn't a championship round. And other things. It was much the same in the 80's when Dereck Wylde wanted us to be part of his championship. The event had to change to suit rather than the rules change to suit the event. I assume that cutting a DT or XL to handle like a TLR is ok going by the bikes I see. Actually one thing that does confuse e is the Pillion seat rule. I have to assume that this also bans enduro bikes as they don't have pillion seats After all they have no rear foot pegs. Tidy up the wording someone. I reckon the rule thing is just taking things too far. Sorry.

Just to drag this one out of the depths and blow the dust off. Has anyone come across engine spares of any sort? I am so tempted to buy one but the thought of a blown head puts me off.

Couple of points. The MSA ruling has been in force for years and there has been no reason to ignore it and break the law. Want to risk everything? It's no hassle. Try doing a cross border event from England to Wales as I have C of Cing the Wyegate for years. That actually is the biggest bind as we pay 2 sets of fees. The one to Wales is slightly cheaper even though its 70 odd miles than the English one for 20ish. Anyway, date clashes. ACU fault. The mess about with the national dates and thus at CtoC level we can't set a date. Every year we clash with Adrian Moss's events or would do if not careful and I am sure other clubs. Why? Because there is no way of knowing what some one else is thinking , short of having one whopping big national data base that is a first come first served set up. Quite how one centre is expected to know what one the other side of the country is doing baffles me. Dates in the Western centre are short and clashes out of centre will happen. I suspect that those who worry about clashes are not really aware of the dates issues Eg we can't use our Wyegate start on Mothers day for example. Maybe I miss something?
