I am floating the idea of an event similar to the Alphabet Challenge that will suit concessionally registered motorbikes.

Riding these motorcycles are subject to conditions...see http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFil ... ession.pdf

Owners sign a Form E 81 ...see http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFil ... ession.pdf

The main time these vehicles would be used are on club events.

It is intended that the BMW Cyclopedia Challenge create a year long club event for which a trophy will be awarded.

The proposed rules are:
