Australia's First Motorcycle Friendly Region to be launched in WAOn Sunday 23rd April 2017, Avon Tourism will launch WA's first Motorcycle Friendly region, Avon Valley.The Avon Valley region flows along winding roads north-west from Beverley through to New Norcia, taking in the country hospitality of York, Northam, Toodyay, Chittering, Bindoon, Victoria Plains and Goomalling. The combination of stunning scenery and WA's temperate climate offers the opportunity for many a great ride.Whilist other Australian towns/municipalities, such as Texas, Queensland, Wauchope, New South Wales and Crows Nest, Queensland have declared themselves Motorcycle Friendly, it appears there's not yet a regional collaboration.
This regional project was made possible through a $16,180 allocation from the Wheatbelt Development Commission's 2016, Royalties for Regions supported, Community Chest Fund along with facilitation by the sub-regional tourism organisation, Avon Tourism. Cully's Yamaha also kindly stepped in to fill a funding gap. Each of the seven Shires provided in-kind support to undertake the installation of the eight dozen pieces of signage.The Shires will be linked with "Avon Valley Region" branded road signage, designed to complement their existing signage, along with "Experience the Avon Valley on Two Wheels" noticeboards at key visitor information points.
The regional map, including fuel outlet and rest stop locations, will be made available to riders as a pocketsize brochure and also online. The maps feature contact numbers for information, towing and assistance, plus tips and techniques for riding on country roads. Another element will be "What's Around The Corner?" asking riders to think in a different way about rural riding and reminding them to call 138 138 to report unsafe roads.Avon Tourism Chairperson, Karen Dore, said "We encourage all motorcycle riders to experience the Avon Valley on two wheels and to give our regional motorcycle friendly operators the opportunity to warmly welcome them". Ms Dore, who rides a Yamaha MT07 and is the 'hanging on' half of a road racing sidecar team, says that the initiative has been well-received by local businesses.
A diverse range of Avon Valley eateries, accommodations and attractions have also pledged to be "motorcycle friendly" through the provision of visor wiping and / or gear storage facilities along with easy access to suitable parking. Motorcycle friendly business operators will display their "proud participant" stickers prominently, with a detailed listing available from the website. Many of the operators will also take the opportunity to offer exclusive motorcycle rider only offers through the AVMCFR Facebook group .
