Tollway protest ride today - rocket rod 7777 - 20-05-2005
Anybody interested in doing the protest ride today?
Sorry about the short notice. Here are the details.......
TransUrban has reneged on a deal made with riders 2 years ago where they said we would NOT be charged for 5 years for using CityLink. Today we heard from Jane Calvert at TransUrban indicating that this agreement will not be honoured.
Implementation of this tolling on motorcyclists is scheduled to start just before the Melbourne Toy Runs in December. It is expected that a motorcycle will be tolled at 50% of the going rate for a car. For example, a trip involving both the South Eastern Freeway and the Bolte bridge on a daily basis will result in a weekly charge of approximately $40 to the rider.
The MRAA is disappointed that TransUrban would renege on a deal that encourages the use of CityLink by motorcyclists. MRAA representatives will be meeting with TransUrban in the next week to negotiate this issue. Should this fail, the MRAA invites all motorcycle groups, clubs and riders who are unhappy with being charged tolls to join them on the
Steps of Parliament
4:00pm
Friday May 20
For a ride through CityLink, as a demonstration of our disapproval of TransUrban's position.

Re: Tollway protest ride today - rev 01 - 21-05-2005
My bike's in bits at the moment (blinging) & busa 1 has gone or I would have been there like I was all the other times
Anyway it gave someone else a chance to hog the limelight for a change Those TV camera boys have been MY groupies in the past Remember the toy run a few years back, then the $50 levy ride, & the magistrates ruling on biker fatality protest etc ??
Anyway, when a protest ride is organised for a week day, where do they think everybody is ?
