About
LONGRIDERS CMC AUSTRALIA is a christian motorcycle club with six chapters in three states. We have a chapter in Melbourne, Vic; Adelaide, Murray Bridge, and Mt Gambi in SA; and in the Hunter Valley, NSW. We also have country members throughout Australia.
LONGRIDERS CMC AUSTRALIA was established in two states at the same time, Vic (Melbourne) & SA (Adelaide) in of 1989.
Later in 1998 a third chapter was established in the Hunter Valley in NSW.
Numbers were small in those days with five members and two nominees in SA and seven members and two noms in Victoria being the originals.
Those original members were committed to doing the miles with many trips between the two states on shovelheads, iron motor sporties, Nortons, BSA’s and Triumphs.
Some of those runs turned into two day marathons with breakdowns and swaggin’ it on the side of the road happening far too often.
Establishing a new club which had some credibility and a level of acceptance in the bike scene required a ton of commitment, guts and determination. Similar qualities as required for long distance riding on old machinery and small budgets.
