AMCN ON IRG

AUSTRALIAN MOTORCYCLE NEWS printed a letter by Independent Riders Group (IRG) member Lindsay Swift. Lindsay warns that being apathetic about bike politics is costing us our right to ride. He says weak bike representatives are worse than no representatives.

The IRG represents individual riders and surveys them to develop policies in line with what riders want and need. Then it lobbies hard to influence governments to give riders a fair go. You can get a copy of the 2014 survey form by emailing  d.codognotto.oam@bigpond.com .

As Lindsay points out, the IRG does not collect membership fees. Most of the work being done is paid for out of members' pockets.

If you can't get too involved, you can help by filling in the survey and get others to join. Numbers count. 

Attend an IRG function or three during the year. Seminar - August 9. TOY RUN - December 7.

Or you can make a donation at the Bendigo Bank.
