I’d like to remind everyone that it is Motorcyclist safety Awareness Month See:

https://www.tac.vic.gov.au/about-the-tac/media-room/news-and-events/2026/motorcyclist-awareness-month-puts-rider-safety-in-focus

Sadly, it hasn’t started well in Victoria and three people using motorcycles have recently died while using our roads.

We should all do our best to avoid such tragic and life changing incidents and I will remind everyone of what I try to reinforce at the start of every ride

“Let’s all aim to get home with ourselves, our bikes and our licences intact”.

Safety has been discussed during recent rides and events.

I am coordinating volunteers for moto-marshalling at the Melbourne Ironman Triathlon and am looking for riders who can carry a pillion passenger. Full details in the attachment. Some cost recovery reimbursement will be made which will cover your fuel costs and more. Please consider helping out, it is good fun. Cheers, Brian L 0439 010 873
