Motorcycle Sport provides non stop action for anyone over the age of 4. Whether you are drawn to the adrenaline fuelled action of Motocross, Dirt Track or Speedway, the Speed of Road Racing, the skill of Moto Trials or the challenge of Enduro and Reliability Trials, Motorcycle Sport has something for you.
No matter if you are young or old, interested in racing or recreational riding, getting started in Motorcycle Sport is easy and opens the door to one of the most exciting activities you will experience.
To participate in events sanctioned by Motorcycling Australia (MA), whether they are Non Competitive or Competitive, you are required to hold a current MA licence. This licence gives you insurance cover at all sanctioned events that you are licensed to participate in.
A competition licence allows the holder to compete in Competitive motorcycle racing as well as Non Competitive Events. A Recreational Licence on the other hand only entitles the holder to participate in Non Competitive activities.
There is a different process for obtaining a Competition Licence depending on if you are applying for a Junior Competition Licence or a Senior Competition Licence. The process for applying for a Recreational Licence however is the same for both juniors and seniors.
If you are interested in Motorcycle Sport but want to give it a try before committing to a yearly licence, many events allow for the sale of One Day Recreation Licences and One Event Competition Licences so that you can purchase a temporary licence and experience all the sport has to offer before applying for an annual licence. For more details on the One Event Licences contact the MSA office.
The links below provide the step by step process for applying for annual Licences.
