PROTEST RUN 4

The PROTEST RALLY against:

1. The flouro vest law proposed by Victoria Police.

2. The compulsory boots, pants, jacket & gloves law proposed by Police.

3. The return of front number plates (and/or stickers or tags) proposed by several officials and Police.

4. Anti-association laws proposed by the Victorian Attorney General.

will go ahead.

WHEN:  from NOON on Monday, October 29, 2012. That is the day after the Phillip Island GP so many    riders will be in the state and a lot of media.

SPEECHES: 12.30 pm to 1 pm. Speeches will be kept short becaus many riders will have to get back to work.

WHERE: A'Beckett Street, Melbourne in the Elizabeth Street motorcycle precinct.

LAPS: After the speeches many riders will have to return to work. Those that don't can do laps of the  city raise awarenress of motorcycles & scooters in traffic and the issues they face. Suggested route. Elizabeth Street, left in Collins, left in Spring past Parliament House, left in Victoria and left back into Elizabeth.

All usual road laws apply. Road safety is the highest priority.

Rides in from key points should be organised. Cranbourne to guide riders from the Phillip Island races is important as is Geelong, Melton, Sunbury, Campbellfield and Lilydale. Maybe Brunswick HOG could organise a ride from Highway 31? Petrol Stations are usually good assembly areas. I'll put the details here as organisers contact me.

The Scooter Association clubs are supporting the PROTEST.

Aussie flags and club banners should be flown proudly. They attract the media and show the public that we are united, well-organised and we care.

HI VIZ VEST LAW 26

One of the issues for the Monday, October 29, 2012, PROTEST RALLY in Melbourne is the threat to make flouro vests for motorcycle & scooter riders law in Victoria within 18 months.

Police said that if riders did not like that we could give up motorcycling.

Minister Mulder may say it's not his plan but he won't be in that job forever and the unholy trinity have made it clear hi viz vests are definitely their plan for riders.

Mandatory hi viz clothing is a threat in Europe too. The French appear to be leading the push on this one.
