Motorcycle sport grew on Saturday, March 2 when clubs around Victoria hosted the first-ever National Come ‰Û÷n‰Ûª Try Day, a joint initiative between Motorcycling Australia, and other State Controlling Bodies, to increase motorcycle sport.
33 clubs affiliated with Motorcycling Victoria welcomed eager new faces who tried out motorcycle sport for the first time, and took advantage of a free Come ‰Û÷n‰Ûª Try Day licence, which covered the cost of the day, a free Annual Recreational Licence and perfect weather.
Across Victoria, around 50 new riders took part at Castlemaine MCC, over 150 riders had fun at the Ravenswood circuit at the Bendigo MCC, and Central Vic Junior MC had around 60 brand new riders enjoy a well-prepared Toolleen circuit. At Barrabool around 100 riders took part in the day that was organised by Geelong MC.
Broadford‰Ûªs State Motorcycle Sports Complex was the epicentre of the day in Victoria, where eight clubs took part in activities on the dirt track, motocross track and road race circuit. Over 90 riders took part on the dirt track circuit, 70 on the road race circuit and over 90 at the motocross track.
President of the Harley Club of Victoria, Richard Loft, was ecstatic with the day: ‰ÛÏIt‰Ûªs been great,‰Û
