PRESS RELEASE
The ACU’s Trials and Enduro Committee have been requested by the Isle of Man’s Department of Agriculture to ensure that all competitors entering this weekends 2 day Trial present their bikes to the Machine Examiners in a ‘showroom’ condition.
With the outbreak of foot and mouth disease on the mainland, the Manx Authorities are understandably taking no chances and have stated that if machines are presented in a muddy condition, they will be refused entry into the competition.
Committee Chairman, John Collins said, “With the farmers current fear still very high over foot and mouth, we are very lucky to still have many events going ahead and I would ask all competitors to be sympathetic with the Manx residents and ensure their machines are thoroughly cleaned before being transported to the Isle of Man.”
If you require any further information please contact Brian George, ACU Press Officer 01788 566428 or via e-mail [email protected].
