Our Members Evening on March 20th has two speakers to entice you along: Julie Emmitt from BikeTrac, and our own Roger Taylor.

Julie will be discussing bike security and the part that tracking devices such as those offered by BikeTrac can play. Julie will cover all the information you need to make the best choice for your circumstances if you’re considering installing a tracker, and will answer your questions on both electronic & physical security. She’ll also offer  tips & tricks to ensure that your bike does not end up in the wrong hands!

Roger will be familiar to many of you from one or more of his roles as Ride Leader, National Observer & CAM Secretary. He recently completed his IAM Masters and will be sharing his experience of the highest challenge on offer to civilian riders. Is it worth your investment of time & money? How does it differ from the Advanced Rider course? Hear directly from CAM’s newest Masters Rider.

The very wintry weather is the prime suspect, but whatever the the reason there’s been a low take-up and we have taken the decision to postpone the Helite presentation – and therefore there will NOT now be a Members Evening this Thursday (16th January). Everyone who had requested a place has been informed of the rescheduled date – Thursday 17th April. We’ll send out an email reminder nearer the time, but once again all will be welcome at the rescheduled talk!

Both Metzeler & Pirelli have recently issued voluntary tyre recalls
If you run Metzeler Tourance or Pirelli Scorpions you might be affected: consult the Metzeler recall notification or the Pirelli recall notification for full guidance. If your tyres come from one of the recall batches, the next step is to contact the manufacturer (as detailed in the recall notification) to find out if you are due a replacement!

Many thanks to eagle-eyed Terry Jacobs for unearthing and alerting us to these recalls. If your tyres come from one of the affected batches please send us an update describing your experience contacting the manufacturer and obtaining replacements

For our final Members Evening of the year we’re delighted to be welcome George from Ultimate Hearing Protection Systems. George will be talking to us about the Ultimate’s range of custom-made moulded earplugs, designed to be worn comfortably under a motorcycle helmet for long periods. The company was founded in 2001 by Dave Marshall, a biker looking to create the highest quality hearing protection system for motorcyclists. Ultimate’s CE marked products are made from anti-microbial medical grade silicone, and their client list includes police forces, Formula 1 racing teams and fire & ambulance services

Sticking firmly to tradition, our Members Evening is being held at Over Community Centre: with ample parking, a licensed bar & their seminar room at our disposal, this is a great venue to meet members of the CAM Committee, socialize with your fellow bikers and catch up with old friends. Members, Associates and their guests are welcome – but to assist with planning, please send Catherine and Nigel an email if you plan on attending

Thursday 28^th November, 7:30 – 7:30pm   |   Over Community Centre   |   All welcome
