If
you ride then you definitely want to do this half day session – this is
NOT a standard first aid course as it’s totally geared to riders. By
the end of this advanced course you'll be competent in CPR, accident
scene management, emergency helmet removal and road trauma injury
treatment techniques. In the event you round a corner and come across a
rider down you'll be glad you know what to do and so will they! BOOK

| I'm told the Police wanted a change in the rules of the run so that the bikes would all be herded to the left of the highway so cars could overtake the column. This would have reduced the exit width by half. From where I was the bikes were getting hot, riders were getting angry and the Cranbourne GP RUN took much longer to clear the main street than in previous years. The safest and most efficient way to move a large number of two and three wheelers from A to B is in one steady group. Marathons and fun runs, bicycle races and tours are not stopped to let car drivers through, why are motorcycle & scooter riders treated this way? |

MELBOURNE MEETING ON MCs ON FOOTPATHS
Given the RACV President's negative attitude to motorcycle & scooter parking on footpaths in Victoria in ROYALAUTO earlier this year and the surprise amendments to the otherwise very positive Melbourne Motorcycle Plan which we were not allowed to question or debate, it would be as well for the motorcycle community to keep its' guard up.
From memory, the amendments appeared on a screen at a Future Melbourne Committee meeting attended by all the city councilors and quite a few motorcycle & scooter riders. The long-standing rules of the meeting did not allow questions or debate. The Motorcycle Plan was voted in unanimously. More than a few riders were concerned that the amendment gave the CoM the power to ban motorcycle parking on narrower footpaths. The thin edge of the wedge???
The Independent Riders Group is happy to work with the CoM to solve a problem where there is a proven problem. BUT, will strongly oppose moves to ban footpath motorcycle parking where no problem is proven. The IRG supports more free on-street and off-street motorcycle & scooter parking and would like to see lockers introduced to encourage the use of protective clothing, especially for commuters.
The issue of motorcycle & scooter footpath parking is on the agenda for the Future Committee meeting next Tuesday, October 13, 2015. It's at the Melbourne Town Hall from 5.30 pm. There is a public gallery so riders should attend. I can't make it unfortunately.
