Title: Sydney City Council Motorcycle Parking Rules Post by: bigiain on November 04, 2008, 05:49:28 PM From the SMH (http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/motorcylists-to-park-for-free-in-sydney/2008/11/04/1225560782092.html)
Quote Motorcyclists and scooter riders can park in Sydney's CBD and inner-city suburbs for nothing from today, in a 12-month trial designed to encourage people to leave their cars at home. Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the trial, decided at a City of Sydney council meeting last night, exempts motorcycle and scooter riders from payment, but they must still park in designated areas and comply with existing time restrictions. You can thank Guy Stanford and his team from The Motorcycle Council of NSW (http://www.mccofnsw.org.au) for making this happen! And to show it in action, look here!

Thanks Clover! big Title: Re: Sydney City Council Motorcycle Parking Rules Post by: 748s on November 04, 2008, 09:46:18 PM Good news [wine]

It really pissed a lot of people off 'cos they could'nt park their cars.
