Responses to the October 29 protest rally in Melbourne have been
very positive. Four groups will ride to the city for the rally the
day after the GP. The rally, among other things, is protesting against
recent moves to force motorcycle & scooter riders to wear high
visibility vests, make government approved protective gear compulsory
and bring back front number plates.
