The social motorcycle club was happy to cover the prize money and is now able to build on its “Watch out for Motorbikes” community campaign.
It all came about after a horrific accident involving a local member who was critically injured in a crash involving another vehicle late last year.
The winner of the first raffle was drawn at a free barbecue at The Dromedary Hotel, Central Tilba on Saturday after a ride from O’Briens Hotel, Narooma out to the Cobargo turn off on the Bermagui Road, which the riders say is “black spot” for motorbikes with two recent accidents.
The club is hoping to produce “Motorcycle Aware Driver” bumper stickers and apparel.
Members are going to set up “Watch out for motorbikes!” temporary banners at and around black spots.
There is also talk of supporting motorcycle lobby groups working to preserve bikers’ rights and safety on the road.
The Bastards SMC would like to thank the businesses involved, including Narooma Motors, Jaycar and Narooma Legend Motorcycles, Casey's Cafe, Altered Image Tattoo of Bermagui and The Dromedary Hotel, Central Tilba.
The next fundraiser gets underway next month with tickets being $5 tickets and the Major Prize being a night for two staying at the Dromedary Hotel with an extra $200 voucher for drinks and dinner and a $50 breakfast voucher at My Heaven on Earth Cafe at Central Tilba.
