Club History The Tasmanian MRA was formed in 1980. In 2007, the MRA was restructured into three autonomous groups (Northwest, North and South).

Its original purpose was to confront the Tasmanian Government and the Motor Accidents Insurance Board (MAIB) over rapidly increasing insurance premiums. This three year battle was won in 1983 when the government agreed to peg motorcycle premiums to the same level as cars. The MRA was responsible during this time for lobbying for and helping to set up the Tasmanian Motorcycle Rider Training Scheme,

RIP Penelope Keith

One of Britain's finest actresses, whose wit, elegance and impeccable comic timing brought us unforgettable performances in The Good Life, To the Manor Born and so many other productions.
Before she was a household name on television, a young Penelope Keith was cast in the film “Every home should have one” as Lotte von Gelbstein, a formidable, iron-willed German nanny. Far from a background extra, her character was a leather-clad, motorcycle-riding force of nature.

This behind-the-scenes photograph catches Keith completely immersed in the role, providing a gritty, "rocker" counter-image to the comedic chaos spinning around Feldman's main character.

It's a glimpse of a different side of her early career.
Thank you for decades of entertainment. You will be fondly remembered.
