Ride Your Motorcycle Week starts today and Australian riders nationwide are revving up and taking part in the annual initiative prompting motorcyclists to shake off lockdown and get back on the bike.

Running November 29 to December 5 the campaign asks riders dust off their motorcycles, scooters, dirt bikes or choice of motorised two-wheeled transport, get them serviced and hit the road, track or trail.

2021 been another weird ride. The pandemic continues to put a strain on physical, emotional and mental health.

We’re riding this thing out, and getting back on our bikes is a proven means of managing stress.

“You never see a bike parked outside a psychologists office” is a well-worn adage among riders. Studies have shown riding can make a serious difference in the way our bodies react to stress and mental strain.

We want to know what riding means to your mental health. Tell us, and if your post gets the most reactions, we'll shout you servicing for the next year (to a maximum value of $1300AUD). 

We know, servicing is part of riding, but wouldn't you rather spend the dosh on something more exciting like track time, new gear or a cheeky little upgrade?

Are you a passionate motorcycle rider? Are you tired of paying high registration costs?  Fed up with the lack of motorcycle and scooter parking available?  Just generally sick of authorities ignoring the environmental and health benefits of riding on two wheels?

Forgotten foible, or sadly missed secret shake?

Sharing a nod with a passing rider. It’s a moment only riders know. It conveys a bond for a shared passion, a mutual understanding of life only understood behind motorcycle bars. A membership to a mysterious club other road users cannot join.

Ride Your Motorcycle Week is back and this year its focus is getting riders back on their bikes after lockdown as summer riding season beckons.

Took the long way home and arrived a little later than planned? It's only natural this might annoy the bosses, partners, friends and family members in your life. 

With this note, you can keep the good times rolling without having to worry about keeping anyone waiting. If they seemed stressed, recommend they jump on a bike and get a taste of what they're missing!

We are feeling for the Victorian riders, still stuck inside and unable to participate in Ride Your Motorcycle to Work Week.

The rules and regulations surrounding the pandemic are in a constant state of evolution. As ambassadors for the riding community, it’s important we do our part.…

The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) and the Ride Your Motorcycle to Work Week campaign support initiatives presented by the 2 Wheel Action Group (TWAG) in its bid to improve conditions for motorcycle, scooter, and two-wheeled electric vehicle riders.

TWAG, which lists legendary motorcycle champion Wayne Gardner as an ambassador, is petitioning Australian Government to reduce the cost of two-wheel commuting through:

The motorcycle industry’s annual week of two-wheeled commuting, Ride Your Motorcycle to Work Week, will take a different approach in 2020 – and there’s just a month to go before Aussie riders raise their kickstands.

Running from September 21 to 27, the 2020 edition of Ride Your Motorcycle To Work Week will see ‘To Work’ temporarily crossed out of the event logo.
