 If you own a bike at least 25 years old and are a member of a recognised Club, which we are, and your bike passes inspection, then you are eligible by Victorian law to register your bike under the Club Permit Scheme.
There are restrictions on how and when you can ride your bike. These are primarily:
- At 'gazetted' Club events, meaning events listed in the Club Itinery published in Desmoto and listed on this site (here). These include Club meetings.
- In order to service or repair the bike in order to attend such an event.
- There are a number of other occasions when you can, and many when you can't, ride your bike.
Here are a few links to more information on the scheme:
- VicRoads information here.
- A summary of the scheme can be found here.
- FAQ's on the scheme can be found here.
It is strongly recommended that if you are a current holder of a permit or are considering applying for one, that you read these documents.
To apply for a permit you:
- Contact the Club permit officer and arrange a time to have the bike inspected.
- All going well, he will provide you with a form which must be authorised by the Club Secretary under the seal of the Club (Club President is also authorised).
- Take the paperwork along with you to a VicRoads office that accepts these applications. Ring first. The latest on this was that Clayton doesn't but Nunawading does.
