OCMC
Motorcycles
Race participants are solely responsible for the condition of their motorcycles and personal riding equipment. OCMC and their personnel do not assume any liability by performing a pre-race inspection of the motorcycle or ATV. Inspection is a general safety inspection only, to promote the safety of the riders, spectators and officials.
Equipment used in OCMC competition must meet the following standards, except as otherwise stated. When permitted or required equipment to be installed, replaced, altered or fabricated, it is the sole responsibility of the rider to select components, materials and/or fabricate the same so the motorcycle will perform safely.
Every motorcycle must have two fully operational brakes at the start of every moto.
Handlebars and controls are not to be cracked or broken. Handlebar mounts may be altered. Control levers are to have ball ends at least one-half in diameter. Rider may use any stock or aftermarket handlebars or adapters approved for the bike they are being installed on and must be approved for competition.
Rear fenders are to extend at least to a vertical line drawn through the rear axle.
Three number plates are required, and are to be mounted securely. All numbers plates must be clearly visible with minimum dimensions that are 9 in. high and 11 in. wide or OEM spec’s with all four corners rounded to allow block style numbers. Number plates must be visible in contrasting colors. Acceptable combinations are as follows: black on yellow, black on white, red on white, white on blue. Any other colour combination or number sizing will not be scored and will not pass inspection.
All motorcycles must meet sound limits of 96 dB/A measured on the “A” scale at 0.5 meters (20 inches). The maximum allowable exhaust system must be attached securely together and to the frame. If the exhaust system dislodges from the motorcycle, the rider will be immediately black flagged and disqualified from the moto. The discharge end of an exhaust system may not extend past the rear edge of the rear tire, nor point so that it creates dust or interferes with the vision of another rider.
