Jay Wilson became the 85cc World Championship and Tye Simmonds finished 2nd in the 125cc World Championship.

Nowhere To Ride

There's hardly anywhere to ride legally in NSW.

Land developers, policy exclusion, clowns and noise has resulted in closure of nearly all available areas.

Now there are Environmental problems as riders push into areas they would not have used previously.

Erosion from new track creation, grooving of water diversion banks (roll-overs), creek bank destruction and spreading of weeds and diseases from unwashed machines are all problems now.

FUEL

The Forest Users Education Liaison (FUEL) project was developed in 2006 by the Motorcycle Council of NSW, the Dual Sport Motorcycle Riders Association and Forests NSW in response to increasing incidence of community disturbance, conflict with other forest users and emergency evacuations of injured trail riders.

The project was funded by a grant from the NSW Environmental Trust of the Department of Environment and Climate Change.

The project aims to develop and implement an effective educational and awareness raising process for forest trail motorcycle recreation enthusiasts in an effort to reduce the incidence of irresponsible and/or illegitimate forest trail recreation riders and the associated environmental and social issues. This website forms part of the FUEL project.
