MOTORCYCLISTS ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR MOST CRASHES
MEDIA RELEASE - The Blame Game Report (download here)
After the C19 pandemic there will still be an Australian road toll. Motorcycle Riders Association of Australia (MRAA) Spokesperson Steve Bardsley has updated his BLAME GAME document for the 2020s. Police said in August 2020 that motorcyclists were at fault in most fatal crashes but motorcycle & scooter fatal crashes were down a third on 2019. The Victorian Economics & Infrastructure Committee is conducting a Parliamentary Inquiry into the latest spike in road injuries and deaths.
The BLAME GAME update is timely as domestic tourism starts up again. It strips away misleading crash data, false assumptions and prejudice around motorcycle & scooter crashes and lays bare the systemic hurdles put in the way of people who can improve two-wheel safety.

Steve Bardlsey said. "THE BLAME GAME CONTINUES will put the cat amongst the pigeons." Please send this email to as many motorcycle & scooter riders, clubs, facebook pages and websites as you can. Show it to your local MP and/or Journalist. Help stop the BLAME GAME.

Twin Spurs Rally 13th - 15th Novemebr 2020
In the current COVID 19 environment there is no certainty that this event will go ahead, however, at this stage we would like to provide some information in case things dramatically improve. Location: Marysville Accommodation: Marysville Caravan Park and local hotels Friday : BBQ and Trivia Organised rides : Friday and Saturday Saturday night : New Venue and great food with Dinner at Duck Inn Registrations : Forms will be available early September on line and from committee members if we believe we can proceed with the event. Hank has spoken to Crystal at the Marysville Caravan and Holiday Park about our booking for the weekend of 13 to 15th of Nov. She advises there is no need for members to pay a deposit when booking for now. When we all know what we are allowed to do, they will get in contact closer to the date with each booking, confirm if they still want to go, and clean it up then. So if you are not sure, it suggested you can still go ahead and book now, and confirm it closer to the date. ____________________________________________________ Touring Rides
