Melbourne Motorcycle Tourers Inc is a motorcycle club for gay males and lesbians. It is located in Melbourne Australia and has about 60 members.
We are a very informal group and welcome new members. We put out a monthly newsletter and participate in lots of Melbourne's gay/lesbian events as well as organising our own monthly meetings and monthly or twice monthly rides. Our members have all sorts of bikes including on road and off road and there is a growing group in the club who go off road riding on a regular basis in addition to our monthly road rides.
Our site contains a list of our events, galleries from some of the club rides, news from our club and a selection of gay & lesbian motorcycle club and other motorcycle oriented links.Our site also contains links for those who are thinking of learning to ride and for those who want information about coming out.
We have only one rule and that is that you must have a bike or license to join.
We hope you enjoy our site and come back to visit it regularly....
