FAQ’s
Q: Is my motorbike suitable?
A: We encourage to use of Sports Tourers as these are stable at low speed, comfortable to ride all day and easy to manoeuvre in tight situations and fast enough to get where you need to get in a hurry.

 Q: How often do the events occur?
A: The road cycling season goes from approximately April to October (the cooler months). There are approximately a dozen events during this period at various times and locations all within a few hours of Brisbane (usually)

Q: What sort of events are they?
A: We do Cycling Australia road series, Triathlons, endurance races and fun rides. If the event involves public roads and bicycles we are usually there. Examples include the Tour de Brisbane, Byron Bay Triathlon and CA Masters. For those keen Marshals we also do interstate events such as the Australian Tour De France.

Q: What about safety?
A: We are currently arranging insurance coverage and all events are conducted under the supervision of State Police which includes (usually) road closures, traffic management and multiple roadside volunteers. In addition all Motorcycle Marshals are given HiVis vests, Digital Radios and designated patrol zones.

Q: Is accommodation provided?
A: Yes, if needed

Q: How much am I paid?
A: Each Motorcycle Marshal is paid a milage allowance from their home to the event, all milage on the event day and then the trip home. In addition they are paid $150 for each event day as sometimes it may be a two day event.

Q: Am I suitable?

Marshalling is a great way to get involved in local (and sometimes not so local) events. It doesnt take long for event organisers to recognise regular marshals, and you can get invited to do some other types of events as well. Its good fun and the cyclists appreciate our efforts greatly.

Unfortunately I have just had to knock back an event in WA, and maybe a few more. I have developed Carpal Tunnel syndrome (RSI injury?? ) in the left hand and cant ride due to cant work the clutch..

I developed that in my throttle hand years ago...my hand would go numb after just a short time riding.
A simple op sorted it and while it probably took the best part of 12 months to feel completely normal again, it's never given me grief since.  :thumbs

I did end up with De Quervain's Tenosynovitis in both wrists since then though but that's another story...  :||||

Gadget:
I'm wondering if a Spyder would be accepted. It's very stable at any speed.

I wondered about that as well. I think the Spyder may be a little too broad in the beam to fit in the lane alongside bikes, but would be great as a lead/trail vehicle.
