The benefits of riding are significant. In addition to the freedom and fun of the ride, two-wheeled commuters nimbly negotiate traffic, park with ease, and save money on transportation.

 

Motorcycle and scooter riders can also mitigate COVID-19 risks posed by public or taxi transport methods without adding to traffic congestion, with two-wheeled transportation offering an effective means of maintaining social distance.

 

Mr Griffiths urged licensed riders to re-connect with their inner two-wheeler.

 

“What drew you to learn to ride in the first place? Was it the quick commute? Skipping through long queues of traffic? The easy parking? That indescribable feeling of freedom when riding?” he asked.

 

“To the riders already on your motorbikes, it starts with you. Make it your mission to get your friends and family without bikes to get back out there. Remind them of the passion they’ve forgotten and get riding!”

 

Motorcycle dealers representing all brands across Australia are open for servicing and sales.
