Concussion related injuries has taken on much more prominence recently because of the well-publicised injuries reported in the sport of Rugby.
Ignoring the signs and symptoms of concussion may result in a more serious brain injury, a prolonged period of recovery or in the worst case lead to death. The potential for serious and prolonged injury emphasises the need for medical assessment and follow up medical support until the concussion injury has been fully resolved. A return to competitive motorcycle sport before the complete resolution of the concussion exposes the rider to recurrent concussion and also places himself and others at further risk of an incident and possible injury. There is no such thing as minor concussion or a ‘knock to the head’. Continue reading
The season is drawing near and the first race meeting at Croft will soon be upon us.
I hope to continue delivering the NEMCRC hosting and website for another season but it can only be as good as the news posted on it.
This is your website, (your newsletter is lifted directly from the posts on the website) it would be great if we could have more members and sponsors stories on the website and in the news every month.
Why not let us know how pleased you were with last season or the trophy you collected at the presentation dinner? How has the bike preparation been coming along ready for the first race? Have you found some new sponsors we should be helping you advertise on the site, if they are supporting you, they are supporting the sport? What are you hopes for this season?
Send any stories of your racing your bike, your supporter,s or your sponsors direct to me (Bruce) at Allinson’s Photography for publication on the website, don’t forget to include any photographs you have.

First of all apologies for not putting an announcement on the web site prior to our East Fortune meeting.
It has been my intention to introduce engine and frame numbers to the Technical Inspection card for some time in an attempt to stamp out the use of rogue frame and engines and I have the interest of both the club and riders at heart when doing this.
The change was met with considerable support and with only two moans from the same team out of an entry of 130 that’s not bad.
One rider who had purchased his bike from an insurance company had the receipt to prove this and that’s fine. What we do not want is the police stolen bike team to come to a meeting and confiscate bikes where the frame/engine numbers have been tampered with. This has already happened, just last year at Brands hatch when 10 bikes were removed from the meeting, (I believe 7 were returned).
The next step is to, (at random) following technical inspection, (to save delays at the time) go around the paddock and have the rider or mechanics cross reference on the machine the engine and frame numbers that have been entered on the technical inspection card. Anyone who has any comments or ideas regarding the introduction of this can contact me by email.
Many thanks

Some of you might have noticed in recent ACU newsletter there is an article to help new riders wanting to purchase a racing motorcycle. The article tells riders what to look for, ie. have either frame or engine numbers tampered with etc.
We hope you find this helpful and would be grateful if you can download and pass on the article to any other riders you know.
Much of the info in this item applies to anyone replacing their motorcycle for road or track use.
The Club can not stress enough how important the issue of stolen motorcycles in motor sport has become and feel we must warn members that more stringent checks will be made in the coming season. The police have been known to attend meetings in the past and have confiscated suspect motorcycles.
This Guide provided for all motorcycle racers by the ACU has been compiled with the assistance of the Metropolitan Police: Stolen Vehicle Unit and Motorcycle News. The guide gives very detailed information regarding what to look for in legitimate engine and frame numbers and will help you avoid buying a stolen motorcycle for competition or even road use.
TECHNICAL INSPECTION
Hi everyone.
Well another season is just around the corner and as chief technical inspector can I ask that you address a few points to help my team.
