The MCC are running a Motorcycle Noise Testing Day

Purpose:
With all the kafuffle over exhaust noise brewing and the $200 fines
being freely handed out to a rather unsure public by the police and EPA,
"isn't it about time to know if your bike is legal?" Even though your bike
passes it's rego check each year it may not pass an Police/EPA test for
exhaust labelling and noise. come along and see where you stand... Talk to
some experts and help support the MCC who are in amongst the politicians
fighting for your rights and freedom!

The MCC believe that it is important to get a feel for the typical
sound levels of motorcycles. Motorcycle owners who have their bikes tested
will be able to find out a very good approximation of their bikes exhaust
noise level and hence it's legality. Testing will not be done to the full
extent of ADR-39/00 however the data gathered should be very close to that
which would be gathered in the formal ADR test. The data gathered by the MCC
will be used at the highest levels of government in order to fight for that
which is right and fair... "your right to ride without fear of persecution
and to make motorcycling safer"

Location:
Old service station (now NRMA outpost) 100M South of Mount White
Village Store (Road Warriors Cafe), Pacific Hwy, Mt White. The plan is for
everyone to marshal at the Cafe and come over to be tested as requested.

Date/Time:
Saturday Sept 20th, 10am at the Berowra Mobil for a 10:30 departure.


Call For Volunteers:
We will require some volunteers on the day to assist with testing
(please note volunteers have to be up at Mt white by 9:00am!) Max from the
Cafe will be supplying lunch to those who wish to help. Please get in touch
with me should you be interested!
