Post-GP protest ride

It will take place in Melbourne the day after the Australian MotoGP round, voicing opposition to a number of current 'safety' proposals

A major motorcycle protest will take place in Melbourne on Monday, October 29 -- the day after the AirAsia Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island.

The protest will seek to unite Australian motorcyclists against a number of motorcycle 'safety' proposals, including:

  • The fluoro vest law proposed by Victoria Police;
  • The compulsory boots, pants, jacket and gloves law proposed by Victoria Police;
  • The return of front number plates (and/or stickers or tags) proposed by several officials and Victoria Police; and
  • The anti-association laws proposed by the Victorian Attorney General.”

The protest will be held in A’Beckett Street in the heart of Melbourne’s Elizabeth Street motorcycle precinct from noon, with speeches to be held between 12.30pm and 1.00pm before a mass ride through the city past the Victorian Parliament.

A number of rides into the city will take place from various meeting points on the city’s outskirts.
