TEMPORARY AUSTRALIANS
A TV series on motorcycle culture in OZ will be launched at the Sydney Motorcycle Show at Darling Harbour on Saturday, November 26 at 2pm.
The community television program has the tongue-in-cheek title, Temporary Australians. The name was inspired by a negative stereotype that motorcycle riders have to live with. The series will give the motorcycle community a chance to tell it's story in the most positive way though the eyes of presenters Brendan Jones and Greg Hirst. Both have been riding motorcycles for years.

been a member of the Brotherhood Christian Motorcycle Club for 34 years. And, Hirsty is well-known for his media and advocacy work for riders and especially for his role in the fight to stop the anti-association laws being pushed around the country. Now he's a producer!
"After decades of often negative exposure, this series presents the Aussie motorcycling community in a positive light. It's a chance to share the passion and good humour that glues motorcycling together with everyone who tunes in." says Hirsty.
Filming is still happening but good footage is already in the can. Items include special celebrity motorcycling moments with the likes of Ten Sports Daryl Beattie, Olympian Kieran Perkins, Underbelly actor Les Hill, V8 Stars Todd and Rick Kelly as well as politicians such as Bronwyn Bishop and Peter Garrett.
