Riders urged to complete Brisbane bike survey

Leave a comment

The newly formed  Queensland Motorcycle Council is urging riders to fill out an online survey about motorcycling in Brisbane.

They believe it is important that the survey has a strong response as it will “demonstrate strong support from the motorcycling community” and show that the new group has some clout.

The new group formed this year more than 18 months after the Motorcycle Riders Association of Queensland closed largely due to a lack of support.

President Graham Keys says their discussions with Transport and Main Roads officials had resulted in a promised seat at the table for future relevant government meetings and road safety forums.

Now they want to prove to Brisbane City Council that they are a legitimate rider representative group.

They are encouraging riders to complete the council’s online survey to “help identify opportunities to improve the motorcycling experience in Brisbane”.

The survey will help Council to “identify and develop policies, plans and infrastructure to enable safe motorcycle travel in the city”.

In the past, we have been critical of the council’s motorcycle strategy, but they have been lifting their game with parking in recent years.

Their online survey is open until Monday 28 February 2022 and takes about 10 minutes to complete depending on how much optional information you provide.

Click here to fill in the survey.

A login or subscription is not required to access and participate in the survey. Simply follow the questions as they relate to you and submit your comments.

Council is making all the right noises about motorcycling, finally realising riders may be the answer to the city’s traffic and parking issues.

Here is what they have to say:

Having a connected, flexible and sustainable transport network in Brisbane is important to ensure we can easily commute to work, conduct business and study, access lifestyle and leisure opportunities, and visit family and friends.

People of all ages and abilities, ranging from non-riders to experienced riders, are encouraged to have their say, and we hope to gain as much feedback as we can to ensure any initiatives reflect the needs of the community and provide a positive benefit for our city.

Motorcycling is a key initiative of the Transport Plan for Brisbane – Implementation Plan 2018, and focuses on opportunities for safe, motorcycle travel in the city. Travelling by motorcycle and mopeds, particularly for commuter trips, can assist in managing congestion on our roads and reduce the need for car parking in the CBD and activity centres.

Our vision is for motorcycling to be a transport mode of choice for travelling throughout Brisbane and minor goods transport, with appropriate infrastructure in place to support safe riding for residents, visitors and businesses in Brisbane.

While it’s good to see council acknowledging motorcycling, the survey asks a stupid question about putting on your headlights in the day time!

Electric trike replaces iconic Aussie postie bike

Leave a comment

Who would have thought a couple of years ago when we first started seeing those strange electric Postie trikes on our footpaths that they would replace the iconic red Honda Postie bike?
Well, now it’s official. 

Australia Post representatives have told a parliamentary inquiry into road safety that they are on track to have all motorbikes phased out of the fleet by 2025.

The Honda CT110 Postie bike has been used for postal deliveries since the 1970s.

They will be replaced by Swiss-made Kyburz electric trikes which Australia Post says are safer, can only reach 45km/h and are allowed on footpaths.

However, I’ve spoken to several posties who say they are dangerous because they can tip over on uneven footpath surfaces.

The electric trike has a top speed of 45km/h and can carry up to 100 small parcels and 1200 letters at a time, three times more than the old Postie bike.A Honda CT110 'Postie' bike with mailbags in a park

With parcels now the bulk of Australia Post’s business, the writing was on the wall for the iconic bike.

Australia Post began ordering the trikes to replace the two-wheelers in 2019 after a two-month trial of three trikes in Brisbane in 2018.

This is bad news for Honda, but good news for lovers of the bike as there should be a lot hitting the market at bargain prices.

However, it will eventually lead to a scarcity of the popular machines.

The Kyburz trikes are already the nation’s largest electric vehicle fleet.

Australia Post says the trikes are safer than the traditional motorcycle because they are easier to see on the road, more stable, have increased rider protection and lower on-road speeds.

Australia Post safety and wellbeing general manager Rod Maule told the inquiry the motorbike fleet was involved in the most accidents out of all delivery vehicles.

He said since beginning of the replacement program there had been a significant drop in incidents.

He claims drivers trialling the vehicles found they were less fatigued and more visible to other drivers on the road.

He also claimed an unforeseen benefit of the electric fleet was that it attracted more women to join the male dominated postal delivery workforce.

The new trikes can be ridden/driven in some states on car licences.

Gloves off in latest MotoCAP safety ratings

Leave a comment

Twenty pairs of motorcycle gloves have been rated for safety and protection in the latest round of testing by the award-winning Australian MotoCAP website.

This brings to 128 the number of gloves they have tested and rated since the safety intitiative launched in September 2018 and a total of 403 jackets, gloves and pants.

Recently MotoCAP made changes to their glove-rating system based on new research on impact damage.

In the latest round of testing, the RST Titanium Outlast 2 leather gloves became the fourth pair of gloves to be awarded the full five stars for safety.

They are also the first that has been advertised as waterproof, with a water resistance score of 6 out of 10.

Gloves can now be sorted on the website by star rating using the filter option.

Deakin Uni Institute for Frontier Materials Senior Research Fellow and Honda GB400 rider Chris Hurren said the changes to the glove ratings were the result of “ongoing tweaking of the system based on new research conducted by Deakin University”.

Chris says these changes mean that accurate ratings are assigned to gear based on the latest research and testing, allowing consumers to make informed decisions on their purchases and increasing their protection on our roads.

“Hand injuries have not previously had the level of scrutiny that the rest of the body has received by researchers worldwide,” Chris says. 

“They are just listed in most research as hand injuries regardless of the injury type.”

The original MotoCAP ratings were developed with the limited information at the time of the risks involved for the hand. 

Dr Liz de Rome and Chris have conducted research into this area to determine the injury risks to hands to fill the previous lack of information and provide the appropriate advice to riders. The glove ratings were revised accordingly. 

“The majority of gloves will have stayed the same or improved in rating however there may be a small number that have reduced in their protection scores,” Chris says.

MotoCAP testing

All gear tested and rated by MotoCAP is bought covertly.

In 2019, MotoCAP, has won a Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) road safety award.

MotoCAP is a partnership between Transport for NSW, State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA), VicRoads, Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV), Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC), Lifetime Support Authority (LSA), the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, Western Australian Police: Road Safety Commission, Department of State Growth, Insurance Australia Group (IAG), Australian Motorcycle Council and Accident Compensation Corporation in New Zealand.

Testing is carried out by the Deakin University Institute for Frontier Materials on behalf of the MotoCAP partners.

All gear rated so far has been obtained through a secretive buying system to guarantee integrity.

KTM invites riders to ride out days

Leave a comment

Motorcycle companies are aware that they don’t just sell motorcycles and hope you come back for servicing.

These days they have to provide customers with events, social clubs and “experiences”.

Harley-Davidson has historically been the best at this with their HOG chapters and rallies.

Now many other manufacturers are onboard with similar events such as BMW’s long-running GS Safaris.

KTM Australia has been organising adventure and dirt bike riding events in recent years and has announced their calendar for next year.

And it’s not just limited to KTM riders, either,

Since KTM Australia also imports Husqvarna and GASGAS dirt bikes, their Ride Out Moto Weekends are open to adult riders who own a KTM, Husqvarna or GASGAS off-road motorcycle (enduro, MX or cross-country) and to their kids on any brand of kid’s bike.

The weekend events will take place across three states in 2022.

Each event is a two-night, two-day recreational adventure on private property and is designed to be a non-competitive, family-friendly experience.

The first is in Stroud (NSW) on March 25-27, followed by Cooby Dam (Qld) on April 8-10, with the final weekend taking place in Wangaratta (Vic.) on April 29 to May 1.

Each weekend features a custom-cut 20km trailride loop, a grasstrack, an easy hillclimb and a newbies/kids track.

You can ride as much or as little as you want over the two days, making the most of all the tracks and set-ups on offer.

The registration fee is $299 per adult rider, $50 per child rider (aged 5-15) or $499 per family (two riding adults and two riding kids). An extra non-riding family member can attend for $30. Each event includes two nights of camping and two days of riding on an exclusive private property.

Also on offer, the latest range of 2022 KTM, Husqvarna Motorcycles and GASGAS off-road models will be available to test on a 10km test ride loop, along with live music, American-style BBQ cook-offs, catering, coffee, partner stalls, giveaways (including rider goody-bags), plus special guests and mechanical advice.

Numbers are limited and registrations open next Wednesday, January 19, 2022, at 12pm AEDT.

However riders are encouraged to contact their local authorised KTM, Husqvarna Motorcycles or GASGAS dealer for priority registration information.

Riders must either have a Motorcycling Australia (MA) competition licence, or an MA recreational licence, which is available to purchase at time of registration.

To find out more about each Ride Out Moto Weekend, contact your local KTM, Husqvarna Motorcycles or GASGAS authorised dealer.

Aegerter to continue with Dynavolt Intact GP in 2022

Leave a comment

Dominique Aegerter:
“Of course, I’m delighted to be contesting my third year with the Intact GP team in the MotoE category. We had to wait until the race calendars were published to make sure that no dates overlapped with the Supersport World Championship because I’ll be competing in that class again in 2022. I would like to take this opportunity to thank both teams for allowing me to participate in these two championships. It will certainly be an exhausting season with 20 races and an additional seven doubleheaders in MotoE. But I already can’t wait to get back on the bike and race, although I’ll have to wait until May for MotoE. I’m pleased that with Mugello and the Kymi Ring we’ll be visiting two new circuits with the electric class, and the qualifying format will also change a bit. I’ve been third once and now second in the MotoE Cup, so the goal is clearly to win the title. We want to fight for the podium in every race to have the chance to be at the top at the very end. We will do our best, but until then, I wish everyone a great Christmas season and a fantastic New Year. I’m going to spend the next few weeks in Switzerland, preparing myself mentally and physically before I travel to Spain in January or February to train more intensively with the Supermoto and Motocross bike. In the meantime, though, feel free to follow me on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, as that’s where I’ll be documenting my workouts a bit and giving a few updates. Hoping that the Corona situation will relax a bit again, I’m looking forward to the next season with confidence and to be able to welcome all the fans at the track again. Stay healthy!”

2021 MotoGP™ recap: French Grand Prix

Leave a comment

On Saturday, Quartararo stuck his Yamaha on pole position, as drama awaited on Sunday. The race was declared dry, and it started in dry conditions, but it wasn’t long before rain started to fall heavily. The first flag-to-flag race in years unfolded at Le Mans. Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) crashed out of the lead to hand Quartararo P1 in the wet, but despite two Long Lap Penalties for speeding in pitlane, Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team) had blistering pace.

2022 Triumph Tiger 1200 First Look Preview

Leave a comment

2022 Tiger 1200 Family: A Tiger 1200 for every occasion

2022 Tiger 1200 Family: A Tiger 1200 for every occasion (Triumph/)

Triumph Motorcycles introduces sweeping revisions to its family of Tiger 1200 adventure-touring motorcycles. These updates include a new engine, chassis, wheels, improved electronics, and numerous other changes to shave weight and improve performance. There will be five Tiger 1200 models on the roster in 2022, with the GT, GT Pro, and GT Explorer designed for road-focused adventure-touring and the Rally Pro and Rally Explorer made for riders who want a little more off-road prowess.

One thing all five models share is the new 1,160cc T-plane triple engine, which puts out 147 hp at 9,000 rpm and 96 pound-feet of torque at 7,000 rpm, both notable improvements on the output of the previous mill. Engineers revised nearly every aspect of the engine to shave weight and improve acceleration and low-end performance. New components include an updated crank, cylinder head, gearbox, clutch, shaft drive, bevel box, new bore and stroke, and a new muffler. The engine updates make for a more compact unit overall, as well.

Triumph focused a lot of attention on improving mass distribution and handling. The new engine contributes to that end, but the major steps forward are found in the chassis. A lighter steel tube frame features a new bolt-on aluminum subframe and pillion hangers. The tri-link aluminum swingarm is new also, and each bike is equipped with a fresh aluminum fuel tank. All told, the new generation of Tiger 1200s are 55 pounds lighter than the previous generation.

The road-focused trio and the off-road pair each come with Showa semi-active suspension, though the Rally Pro and Rally Explorer feature longer-travel setups to better handle their all-terrain duties. The Rally Pro and Rally Explorer are also equipped with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear tubeless, wire-spoke wheels whereas the GT, GT Pro, and GT Explorer have 19-inch front and 18-inch rear cast wheels. These road-going models will roll on Metzeler Tourance tires while the off-road models come equipped with Metzeler Karoo Street tires.

The 2022 Triumph Tiger GT Pro will start at $21,400.

All versions of the new Tiger 1200 features Brembo Stylema braking kit and adjustable Magura HC-1 levers.

Comfort in the cockpit is improved thanks to wider handlebars across the lineup. The GT Explorer and Rally Explorer bars are set higher than before as well. The windscreen is adjustable and the footpeg positions are optimized for comfort and control. Seat height is adjustable too, with the GT, GT Pro, and GT Explorer offering 33.4-inch and 34.2-inch options, and the Rally Pro and Rally Explorer offering 34.4-inch and 35.2-inch options. A low seat option is available as an optional upgrade.

Other standard equipment includes hand guards (all models), an aluminum skid plate (GT Pro and GT Explorer), and an aluminum sump guard (Rally Pro and Rally Explorer). The GT Explorer and Rally variants also come with crashbars around the engine; the Rally Explorer adds fuel tank crashbars.

Another notable difference between models concerns fuel capacity. The GT Explorer and Rally Explorer each pack a 7.9-gallon tank while the GT, GT Pro, and Rally Pro are equipped with a 5.3-gallon tank.

The 2022 Triumph Tiger GT will price at $19,100.

This crop of Tiger 1200s also packs a bevy of electronic updates, including a new 7-inch TFT instrument panel, five-way joystick control, backlit switches, a USB charger, cornering ABS, and cornering traction control. All models except the standard GT come with Shift Assist, Hill Hold, heated grips, and cruise control. The GT Explorer and Rally Explorer feature a tire pressure monitoring system, heated rider and passenger seats, Blind Spot Radar detection which allows for Blind Spot Assist and Lane Change Assist systems. The GT gets Rain, Road, and Sport ride modes. The GT Pro and GT Explorer get Road, Rain, Sport, Rider-configurable, and Off-Road. The Rally Pro and Rally Explorer get Road, Rain, Sport, Rider configurable, Off-Road, and Off-Road Pro.

For maximum off-road prowess, the Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer is the way to go.

Each model gets the latest LED lighting and daytime running lights. All models except the GT also feature adaptive cornering lights.

And finally, the looks are improved with a more upright stance, minimal bodywork, and a lighter-looking front end. The GT will come in Snowdonia White; the GT Pro and GT Explorer will come in Snowdonia White, Sapphire Black, or Lucerne Blue; the Rally Pro and Rally Explorer will come in Snowdonia White, Sapphire Black, or Matte Khaki.

With longer-travel suspension and a host of off-road upgrades, the Rally Explorer is Triumph’s most capable Tiger 1200 yet in the dirt.

For 2017, Bezzecchi moved up to Moto3™ full time to partner compatriot and former CIV rival Manuel Pagliani at CIP. Fighting for Rookie of the Year, the Italian just missed out but took a first podium finish, and moved to Redox PrüstelGP for 2018. Nine podiums in 2018, including three victories, saw Bezzecchi mount a lightweight class title assault against eventual Champion Jorge Martin. Despite missing out on the title, a hugely impressive Moto3™ campaign means Bezzecchi secured a Moto2™ seat with Red Bull KTM Tech3 in the Moto2™ class for 2019.

Royal Enfield 120th Anniversary Edition Twins Announced

Royal Enfield 120th Anniversary Edition Continental GT 650

In November 1901, Royal Enfield launched its first motorcycle at the Stanley Cycle Show in London, kickstarting the journey of what would become the oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production. It is marking the milestone with Royal Enfield 120th Anniversary Edition Twins, special-edition versions of the INT 650 and Continental GT 650.

A limited run of only 480 units worldwide – 120 in each of its four regions, split equally among INT 650 and Continental GT 650 models – will make these highly desirable. North America will receive 120 units of the 120th Anniversary Edition Twins (60 INT 650s and 60 Continental GT 650s), and they will be available in early 2022.

Royal Enfield 120th Anniversary Edition Continental GT 650

The 120th Anniversary Edition INT 650 and Continental GT 650 have been designed and handcrafted by the company’s teams in the U.K. and India. Along with exclusive black and chrome color schemes and a selection of factory accessories, these limited-edition anniversary models feature artisan-crafted die-cast brass tank badges and classic Royal Enfield hand-painted pinstripes.

The exquisite brass badges are crafted in collaboration with the Sirpi Senthil family, multi-generational artisans from the temple town of Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, India. Particularly specialized in making the elegant brass effigies for the most revered temples in India for centuries, this is the first time that these artisans have collaborated with any automotive brand.

Royal Enfield 120th Anniversary Edition Twins

The unique, rich black-chrome tank color scheme has been developed in-house, at Royal Enfield’s original 1950s-era manufacturing factory in Thiruvottiyur, Chennai, India. The motorcycles are chromed with an alternate, sustainable trivalent eco-friendly process. To complement the black chrome tanks, both the Continental GT 650 and INT 650 will feature blacked-out components, with the engine, silencer, and other elements in an array of black color schemes.

The motorcycles will also come equipped with a range of Royal Enfield Genuine Motorcycle Accessories, such as flyscreens, engine guards, heel guards, touring and bar-end mirrors, and others in a black finish to accent the overall design.

Royal Enfield 120th Anniversary Edition Twins

In addition to unique hand-painted pinstripes, the tank top badge will feature the unique serial number of each motorcycle indicating that it is 1 of 60 unique motorcycles in one of the four regions around the world. Additionally, the motorcycles will also adorn a side panel decal that is a special ode to Royal Enfield’s 120 years.

“Few brands can celebrate the kind of legacy and history that Royal Enfield has enjoyed over the last century and a lot of this legacy is from the immense love the brand has received from riders through the ages,” said Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director of Royal Enfield’s parent company, Eicher Motors Ltd. “There was simply no better way of celebrating this milestone than sharing a piece of it with our consumers around the world. We are delighted to bring the 120th Anniversary Edition 650 Twin motorcycles to enthusiasts around the world, and share the brand’s legacy with them. Both the INT and the Continental GT are hugely successful around the world today, as they were in the 1960s, and truly represent our heritage of making simple and enjoyable motorcycles.”

Royal Enfield 120th Anniversary Edition Twins

Inspired by the legendary Royal Enfield Interceptor 750 and Continental GT 250 of the 1960s, these motorcycles have been instrumental in the brand’s global expansion and success in recent years, making them the obvious choice for the 120th Anniversary Editions.
