HISTORY OF THE CLUB

Richmond River Motorcycle Club Inc. was first kicked off in the early 1980’s orginally located on private land on the outskirts of Lismore at Tucki Tucki and was known to the riders as the Tucki Track. In 1999 sadly the land owner passed away and unfortunately we had to vacate the premises and hence found ourselves without a track. In 2007 and after much awaited anticipation the club rebirthed at a new location at the old dirt track facility at Willow Park Race Track in Ballina. Since then we have slowly been rebuilding numbers to a now strong 170 plus members. The track is located on Southern Cross Drive, near the Ballina Airport and is open to all members of the community. Come along and have a look you'll enjoy a great day of family fun and entertainment.

The Junior Coaching Program came into effect on 1 July 2006. Junior and Nipper riders who already have a competition license have all been posted a logbook.

To be able to ride on a club day Juniors and Nippers must present their Logbook along with their license. This means that – NO LOGBOOK – NO RIDE.
Those Juniors who have completed the training with a coach and have the appropriate completed paperwork, and do not wish to apply for a competition license but wish to purchase One Event Licenses will still need a Logbook. Logbooks can only be issued by MNSW. A logbook application form can be downloaded from motorcycling.com.au This is to be completed and the appropriate completed paperwork attached and forwarded to MNSW to obtain their logbook.

Remember NO LOGBOOK – NO RIDE!!

Jnr 125cc 2 St / 250cc 4 St Endorsement - If a rider wishes to compete on both machines, 5 hrs of coaching must be undertaken on both to gain endorsements for each. The coaching for either the 125cc 2 stroke and the 250cc 4 stroke can be undertaken 3 mths prior to the riders birthday, which will allow them to compete on their endorsed machine.
