Thousands of motorcyclists will ride to Canberra on Saturday, January 28 in support of a celebrity based motorcycle awareness ride to highlight a range of important motorcycle awareness and safety issues.
Following in the footsteps of the famous Celebration Rides in 1996 and 2001, this national awareness ride will bring together a cross section of the
whole motorcycle community in Australia in order to bring positive public attention to the importance of motorcycling and making drivers 'more aware'.
Organised this time by Bikers Australia, the details will be similar to previous rides with a road closure on the Federal Highway and a mass ride through the cheering throng of local residents to New Parliament House. It is expected that members of the Federal Government will be present and already has the support of Federal MP Jackie Kelly.
Previous Awareness rides to the nation's capital have secured an enormous amount of positive motorcycle coverage in the mainstream media across Australia. Indeed the last Celebration ride featured prominently on news bulletins and significantly featured on the front page of the Canberra Times, as well as other papers and national motorcycle magazines.
As with the Celebration Rides, this National Motorcycle Awareness Ride is expected to attract a lot of positive public attention to motorcycle safety and awareness issues as well as to motorcycling itself. Get your friends to come and make this the biggest ever.

Message Sent by Lee - How To Recognize And Help prevent a potential Stroke !!! Takes A Second To read, and may save a life!
My Father Died Of a Stroke in 1996... Poss.
Story unrelated to me though.......
During a BBQ a friend stumbled and took a little fall- she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They
got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a
bit shaken up; Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ - had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.
It only takes a minute to read this - a neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed and getting to the patient within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE - Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps.
Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to
recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize
a stroke by asking three simple questions:
1. Ask the individual to SMILE.
2. Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
3. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (coherently) (e.g .It is a sunny day today)
If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 000 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's
annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this test could result in
prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.
