Yes but you have to hold an unresticted licence to hire the riding gear or bike.
Here is what it says on the web site.
A $500 excess is applicable for every riding gear hire. This figure will be pre-authorised on your credit card 48 hours prior to your event. Alternatively, cash holdings for the above amount can be organised for the day of the event.
* You must provide a current unrestricted motorcycle license on the day of your hiring.

Brendan ..
I dunno how this'll go down in the forums .... but anyway . .
I went out to the Morisset markets on sunday and bought myself a new jacket . .. for $200.
Its well made, comes in lots of varieties and has all the CE armour and is tough as.
The whole suit (jacket zips into pants) will cost ya 350.
I know its a budget option, and it aint no Joe Rocket .. but its good qual leather and may well do ya for a while.
Ill be seein ya on Thursday morn so you can check the jacket and qual for yaself.
Richo.

Brendan, the same dudes have the gear at Paddys and no doubt are at Parklea (the guy that owns Morriset also owns Parklea). Failing that, Morriset can be a fun return detour on a Wollombi run from the PITS.

I have a spare suit that you can borrow Brendan...
It's been down the road once but still in good condition.
It may be a little tall but you're welcome to try it on.
Lemme know
