Gday Ladies and Gents,the Freedom Ride is scheduled to take place on the 1st of December. It will start from the Eureka Stockade in Ballarat at 8am and proceed to Parliament House in Melbourne. It would be great to get as many as possible on this ride but of course If you're not up for that the main thing is to make it to Parliament House for 10am. It is worth noting that this is NOT A PROTEST, rather it is called a "Freedom Ride" to show the media and the public that we are ordinary Australians who share the passion, joy and freedom that riding a motorcycle adds to our lives. We are overwhelmingly law abiding citizens who happen to ride motorcycles as our chosen form of transport (and because it's FUN of course)!! Something like this is aimed to attract media attention and to give us a chance to say how much we dislike the treatment (harassment) of our fellow riders in Queensland due to the unfair legislation aimed at policing a very small minority of lawbreakers. I urge you all to make the effort to support this initiative and to show a united front in an effort to stop this blatant discrimination for the sake of ALL riders in this great country we live in.
Everyone on here bitches and moans about the government/taxes/police harrassment, but I bet more than half of you won't even have the balls to ride and show up for this, cowards and sheep.
At least it looks like its going to be organised, thx for update
