GETTING STARTED

Whilst Motorcycling Victoria predominantly has competition riders as our members, you do not need to be a rider to become a member of Motorcycling Victoria. We also have a number of officials who officiate at race meetings across the state. Their duties are varied and certainly rewarding. You may also purchase a Recreational Licence if you wish to practice but not race on the circuits.
