Motorcycling Australia launches ‘Minikhana’ National Activation Program

Motorcycling Australia launches ‘Minikhana’ National Activation Program
April 11, 2022

Motorcycling Australia has announced the launch of its Minikhana National Activation Program, starting up with Minikhana Come and Try Days.

Advising that it is “pleased to bring this program to fruition to encourage young Australians and their families to participate in a low risk, low cost and fun community sport”, Motorcycling Australia’s member clubs will be able to run these programs with a raft of benefits alongside tangible, extensive support from the national motorcycling body and the State Controlling Bodies (SCBs) that it hopes will build a new generation of passionate motorcycling fans, riders and racers.

The Minikhana Come and Try Days will offer participants and their families low risk/high enjoyment where the fundamentals can be learned and improved upon, in a low pressure, encouraging and nurturing environment.

The events offer families with children aged from four to 16 and looking to get into motorcycling, or for those just looking to improve their skills, a fun and friendly pathway environment.

Participants will undertake skills activities around: cornering, balance, acceleration, vision, braking, jumping, variable surfaces, bike setup body positioning and navigating obstacles.

All first-time participants will complete their Minikhana Come and Try Day not only with improved skills, and new friends having enjoyed a fun-filled day, they will also be eligible for a free 90 day MA Recreational License through their SCB.
