Petition: Support Trail and ADV Riding in NSW

Support Trail and ADV Riding in NSW

Trail bike access to popular NSW areas such as the Watagans and Newnes State Forest is under threat.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service – who manages many key riding areas such as Newnes Plateau and Cullen Bullen State Forest – is planning to close access to singletrack trails for motorcycles in only a few months.

The current plan is for 4WDs to have dedicated trails that can be shared, but single track will be off limits.

Clearly this will negatively impact the enjoyment of recreational trail riders, especially those located in Sydney and surrounds. What can we do about this? In the first instance, we all need to sign the petition addressed to the Minister for the Environment.

The petition asks that funding is provided for a strategic plan for motorcycle trail and adventure riding – something that NPWS needs to consider if it is to allow singletack access to motorcycles. The petition also asks for the singletrack access decision to be overturned and that the Minister of Transport introduces a recreational registration system similar to the one used in VIC to enable better compliance with legal requirements.

Please consider signing the petition at the link below before 26 August 2022 and ask your mates to do the same:

Schuberth Helmets Now Available!

Schuberth E1 Helmet
City Coast Motorcycles Wollongong is excited to announce it is now your Schuberth stockist. The German manufacturer’s impressive portfolio includes protective headwear for the police force, fire brigade, Formula 1 sports and motorcycling.

Schuberth has redefined the flip-up helmet and earned bragging rights as the winner of the Best Brand category for 12 years in a row by Europe’s largest motorcycle magazine, Motorrad.

E1 ADVENTURE HELMET

Whether on the motorway, a country road or gravel track, this innovative adventure helmet allows the rider to experience the full intensity of every moment while enjoying the highest level of comfort and astonishing flexibility. The Schuberth E1 unites the functionality and safety of a modern flip-up design with the look, feel and off-road capability of an adventure helmet.

The new E1 not only looks like it was built for adventure, it has everything a helmet needs for use off the beaten track, too – from the large, multi-position shield to optimal air flow for arduous off-road use. Because the adventure only really begins when the tarmac runs out. And even though it may not look like it when the helmet is closed, the chin piece of the E1 can be swivelled up complete with visor and shield. This is a proper adventure helmet that is also a proper flip-up helmet.

The E1 was developed in Schuberth’s in-house wind tunnel to ensure it features low wind resistance, thus allowing for high speeds on the motorway, and a slippery shape making it a very quiet helmet too. Because adventure has nothing to do with strained neck muscles and battered eardrums…

C4 FLIP-UP HELMET

Schuberth has written the next chapter in the history of the flip-up helmet with the compact C4. The latest generation helmet represents the new-benchmark for touring and sports riders with the highest demands. It is as impressive at high speeds as it is on extended rides and it’s only on closer inspection that you can tell it’s a flip-up helmet at all!

C4 Schuberth

The Schuberth C4 sets new standards when it comes to Bluetooth® and radio connectivity. It not only features an integrated antenna as standard, but two pre-installed loudspeakers, a boomless microphone and slots for the optional new SC1 communication system and re-chargeable battery developed in collaboration with SENA. Now you can experience “Plug and Play” in the truest sense.

SC1 for C4 helmet

But the new C4 doesn’t just look fantastic, it was developed in Schuberth’s Air and Acoustics Lab. Its perfect aerodynamics predestines the helmet for use at great speed, thus making it an attractive proposition for demanding sport riders.

The factory-fitted anti-fog visor of the C4 is designed in such a way that the upper edge doesn’t impinge on the field of vision, even when a more aggressive riding position is adopted.

WINNER: Best Flip-up Helmet of 2017 – Motorrad
