In response to the recently published proposed Land Conservation
(Vehicle Control) Regulations 2003 we have established an online petition
which will be sent to the Victorian Government. The document is
available for viewing at http://www.nre.vic.gov.au/ris/ and I strongly
encourage you to read it carefully. There is very little reference to
trail bikes in this document, and the authors make a point of saying
that for some time there has been little input or demand from
trail bike riders, so it is about time we let them know we are many. It
is the first step to ensuring they can't ignore us.
Please take the time to sign the petition at
http://www.petitiononline.com/02vtb/petition.html and let your network
of trail riding contacts know about it. For those of you who have websites
of your own, could you please give it a mention. We need to show the
government that we are NOT a "minority" user group!
Cheers,
Mike Chmiel
