For all QQRA members and non-members.
I received this email today and i found it interesting reading. The only thing missing from this review is what is constituted as 'noisy'??
And this is what the crime and misconduct commission is reviewing.
They have asked for public comment, please email the officer from the commission with your views and make sure you inform them of your interest. check out the website for details.

"As you may be aware, the Crime and Misconduct Commission is required to
conduct a review into the effectiveness of Queensland's off-road
motorbike/trail bike noise laws. As part of this review process, we are
seeking public comments on the issue. I have obtained your contact

Am i the only one who can be bothered? I contacted Nadine to get the facts about the hooning issue.Basically, it seems to be about noise from bikes "not on the road".If you p--- off one of your neighbors, they can ring plod. He arrives and "if in his opinion,the noise is exessive"(there is no actual noise level testing) on the second time your bike can be confiscated.And a big fine too.I asked some more questions and I am waiting for more answers.(tuesday night)If we all emailed her,nicely,and asked her to explain how not to have aproblem,they might get the message.Act now,because next week your may not be able to ride on your own driveway without a problem.Gee,100 veiws and only ONE reply.must be a lot of broken fingers.
