Motorcycling Australia To Conduct First “National Come and Try Day” on 2nd March
Announcement posted by Revolution Bike Finance 22 Feb 2013
Revolution Bike Finance, a company that provides motorcycle loans across Australia, reveals how the event could be a benchmark moment in Australian motorcycle sports.
On 2nd March 2013, Motorcycling Australia, which governs motorcycle sports in Australia, will collaborate with State Controlling Bodies to hold the first National Come and Try Day at various venues throughout Australia. The events are being held to allow interested motorcycle riders to experience motorcycle sport events without having to buy their own equipment, or even buy a license.
As of this writing, events are scheduled in 40 different venues across Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, and Queensland. Events will cover a lot of different disciplines, including endure, road racing, motocross, moto-trials, speedway, quads, and dirt track. According to Motorcycling Australia, participants will have access to “a diverse menu of hands-on events and activities.”
The clubs and tracks will supply equipment, and will also ensure that there are experienced competitors and officials at all events to make sure that the events are safe, and that participants have every opportunity to learn all they can about the motorcycle sport they choose.
Every track and club will run their own events, ensuring that each event will be unique, and tailored to the needs of the track and the participating club. The clubs will have artistic license to present and showcase their disciplines in the best light possible. Clubs also have the option of scheduling a Club Practice Day to go along with the event.
Those who don’t yet have a license will be given a free, one-day license for National Come and Try Day, and will be able to apply for a free Annual Recreational License or a full Annual License at a discounted rate right at the event.
The only venue in Western Australia so far is Pinjar Park Motorcycle Speedway. They will hold their events from 9am-2pm, and will include Stock MX, Trail Bikes, and Speedway 50cc. Pinjar Park is located in Neerabup.
Ben Crombie, Managing Director of Revolution Bike Finance, is excited about National Come and Try Day, and sees the potential for a lot of growth in the motorcycling sport: “This is one of the best ideas I have seen in any sport in a long time. Imagine how great this could be for the motorcycle sport if it works out like it could. Potentially, the word of mouth advertising from satisfied neophytes could lead to unprecedented growth.”
Crombie continued, “And this is only the first year. The first year of any major undertaking such as this one is almost always a year of tweaking, adjusting, and debugging the operation. If they do this right, we could start seeing a steady growth in motorcycle sport participation, as new participants bring their friends out to watch, and tell them how great it is to participate.”
Crombie added, “One of the major entry barriers to any motorsport is the cost of competing. Racers have to buy a bunch of equipment before they even know if they have any potential, or if they are going to actually like the sport. By allowing potential racers to try out the sport without buying equipment first, Motorcycling Australia is removing a significant barrier from in front of potential participants in motorcycle sport.”
Crombie concluded, “If a participant tries the sport and “gets the bug,” it will render most entry barriers invalid. That is very powerful.”
