Canberra awareness ride 2006
From Bikers Australia: Thousands of motorcyclists will ride to Canberra on Saturday, January 28 in support of a celebrity based motorcycle awareness ride to highlight a range of important motorcycle awareness and safety issuesFollowing in the footsteps of the famous Celebration Rides in 1996 and 2001, this national awareness ride will bring together a cross section of the whole motorcycle community in Australia in order to bring positive public attention to the importance of motorcycling and making drivers 'more aware'.
Organised this time by Bikers Australia and the Melbourne based MRAA, the details will be similar to previous rides with a road closure on the Federal Highway and a mass ride through the cheering throng of local residents to New Parliament House. It is expected that members of the Federal Government will be present and already has the support of Federal MP Jackie Kelly.
Previous Awareness rides to the nation's capital have secured an enormous amount of positive motorcycle coverage in the mainstream media across Australia. Indeed the last Celebration ride featured prominently on news bulletins and significantly featured on the front page of the Canberra Times, as well as other papers and national motorcycle magazines. More information will be on info@bikersaustralia.org.au soon.
