Vic Motorcycle Club committee meetings?

No idea on that score. There are very different definitions of the two words. 'Scrutinise', and 'check'.

It is all over the show that the safety of the bike is the responsibility of the rider. The checking of the bikes is legally redundant, but I would guess it's an easy proof that an event organiser is actively trying to increase safety levels.

You would be very surprised what is picked up at "bike check" Drew.

I've had a couple of interesting ones personally.
None seated rear brake pads was a common for a while...
Always good practice having a second set of eyes looking over any race bike (and some riders don't even check things themselves and/or miss things when in the Friday night rush).

Way back in '72' when the Mach 4's came out,mine for some reason used to break rear spokes ! I would check all the time but it was picked up in Scrutineering a couple of times. Made the morning into a mad rush to get it fixed and re checked before the day began.
It was serious checking in those days,all your gear as well.

Yea,times have changed a little at club level.

I (personal view not VMCC) for one would to see gear checks as part of bike checks. I like the ozz example (posted earlier) with the rider showing up in gear...

Anyway, big ups to one of our scholarship riders for taking the initiative and posting up reports covering his experiences thus far.
