Talking bikes: public forum for riders To be held at Deakin University in Melbourne, with a number of items up for discussion, including the campaign to legitimise filtering
The Australian Riders’ Division of Motorcycling Australia is hosting a riders forum called ‘Talking Bikes’ on October 28 in the LT12 lecture theatre at Deakin University, Burwood Campus, Melbourne.
With seating for 200 plus attendees, riders are encouraged to spread the word to try and fill the venue. Entry is free.
The forum will feature a panel including John Voyage of Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, as well as other key motorcycle advocates.
“This forum is an opportunity for motorcycle riders to come together and talk about some of the important issues riders face at this time and discuss what the future holds,” said Rob Smith, the Australian Riders’ Division manager.
“It doesn’t matter whether you ride a sports bike, a cruiser, or a tourer you need to know what’s happening in your world.
“If riding your motorcycle matters to you then you should come along and voice your concerns, Motorcyclists have been silent for too long.”
Some of the items scheduled for discussion are the Victorian levy, the campaign to legitimise filtering and Maurice Blackburn’s Sorry Mate I Didn’t See You (SMIDSY) public education campaign.
The forum is scheduled to start at 7:00pm with details on the Australian Riders’ Division new website, http://www.ard.org.au, or Facebook page
