INTRODUCING THE DSMRA
The DSMRA was formed
in 1995 as a direct consequence of the
current trend of land closures throughout
Australia.
The main thrust
determined at the inception of the association
was to provide the framework for off
road riders to become a cohesive body
and to fight the current trend of closures
by demonstrating the positive aspects
of off road motorcycle riding, and the
fact that we can co-exist with the environment.
|
DSMRA AIMS
To improve the perception
of off-road motorcycle riders in the
wider community. Establish channels
of communication with regulatory bodies
to ensure that the interests of DSMRA
are considered in the evaluation process
of public and private lands.

WHAT DSMRA DOES FOR YOU
The DSMRA provides
you, the member with a social network
of like minded riders that want to go
out and enjoy trail riding. This can
be full hard core dirt stuff through
to adventure riding on the tar. Everywhere
we go we have fun and ride responsibly.
We provide lead and sweep riders and
carry two way radios, epirb emergency
beacons that will provide emergency
assistance via ambulance (conventional
or air) and we provide a support group
to you, the rider. Although you still
have to do your own tyre changes and
cop the odd offhand comments.
We take you to areas you may have never
seen before, all the time offering the
cornerman system (which means you don't
need to know where you are going or
how to get back). We provide for all
levels of difficulty and will provide
advice to beginners, and even teach
you the basic skills so you can ride
your bike better.
Of course you must be licensed and your
must be bike registered.
