Motorcyclists will pay $5 for a return trip on the $2.5 billion road in a move that has shocked and angered riders.
Until now, motorbikes have been allowed on tollways such as CityLink free of charge because of difficulties photographing rear number plates and fitting electronic tags to the bikes.

In the lead up to the Moto GP last year the TAC ran a Hints and Tips competition, filmed the tips and now you can view the clips online.

Motorcyclists will continue to be killed by wire median strips if road authorities fail to review their "prehistoric" designs, a leading spokesman has said..

The motion being put by Cr Clarke to review footpath parking will be discussed at the next City of Melbourne Council meeting which starts at 5.30pm on Tuesday 30th October.

The MRAA encourages riders and interested parties to attend this meeting to hear what Cr Clarke has to say.

Anyone who wants to speak at the meeting is advised to arrive very early to register with council re their say or contact council direct.

Riders across the board have been outraged today (25 Oct) at the plan put forward yesterday by Cr Peter Clarke, which would see motorbikes parked on footpaths in Flinders Lane and Little Collins, Little Bourke, Little Lonsdale and Little La Trobe streets made liable for fines up to $115.

The MRAA has been in contact with the MCC head of Community Safety Stephen Martin who advised that there have been no complaints received in relation to motorcycles blocking pedestrians. MRAA President Dale Maggs has spoken with Cr Clarke and put the rider case to him.

Motorcylists have threatened to shut cars out of city parking spots if Melbourne City Council goes ahead with a proposal to ban them from parking on footpaths in narrow city streets.
