for the two wheelers in here..........

Hi guys, I received this today from a fellow Rider and thought it
was a good idea and should be posted.

In just 2 weeks, we have our national Census - the night of Tue
August 8th.
In the last census - 2001 - only 10% of households, that had 1 or
more motorcycles, rode their bikes to work on that day.
If that number was increased to at least 50%, (which would equate
to~220,000 motorcycles - based on 2005 figures on national bike
registrations) then wouldn't that be a great statistic for us to use
in the future when talking with government and safety bodies.
Imagine being able to tell them that the 2006 census showed that
over 200,000 bikes (or around 50% of riders) are ridden/commuted on
each day! The safety and importance benefits of being able to
use/quote that statistic would be fantastic! Netrider
(http://www.netrider.net.au) has posted a front page news item, and
a discussion forum topic, giving a "call to arms" for riders to
ensure they ride to work on census day. It would be encouraging if
everyone did the same with their membership base and/or riding
friends and contacts. (forward this message to them). Lets get that
census working for us!

cheers
