RESIDENTS will experience the sweet sounds and sights of scores of motorbikes riding into Point Cook next month.

As many as 1500 bikers will converge on the town centre on October 25 as part of the Pink Ribbon Ride.

The ride, which has already attracted interest from bike enthusiasts across the state, will raise more than $30,000 for the Cancer Council of Victoria for breast cancer research.

Point Cook Motorcycle Club president Marcel Gomperts is organising this year's event and said riders would travel from at least nine locations across Victoria, including Bendigo and Ballarat.

"Every rider pays $20 to enter and it all goes to the Cancer Council. We'll also raise money through donations, a raffle and an auction," he said.

Riders of all ages will arrive in groups at Point Cook Town Centre about 11am to be greeted by a festival set including live music, motorcycle traders and other entertainment for adults and children.

TV personality Greg Evans and local schools will entertain the crowds.

Point Cook Motorcycle Club and the Point Cook Town Centre have organised the festival and will close roads on the day.

Mr Gomperts, who has been riding motorbikes for most of his life, said the ride was the perfect way to combine a popular passion - motorcycling - with raising money for a good cause. "The Point Cook Motorcycle Club is a touring and riding club. We're in our early stages but we're hoping to lead more rides [including] down the Great Ocean Road. You know how happy a dog is when he's enjoying the breeze in the back of a ute? That's what riding is like: it's being part of nature."

There's a lot of talk in the Australian media about bikie's, and the demonising of them....just because the behaviour of a few who happen to ride bikes.But this is Australia, we are not racist (nor should we be). We look beyond the colour of a man's skin, and recognise him for his heart and his deeds.  So why do we assume that all people who ride bikes, or are part of a bike club, are criminals?

Don't be fooled, this is not an issue about bikers - this is about what's in your heart.

Is it the fear of others --- that horrible seed planted by others, to make you afraid?

Or is it compassion, and the ability to see beyond the outer layer?

What this comes down to - Are you a slave, or a free man? Free to form your own opinions, and control your own thoughts, or do you allow yourself be controlled by the agenda of others?

You can decide to be free, or accept others agenda, but you can't have both.

So ask yourself. "What's in my heart?"

 I saw you; hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line. But you didn't see me put an extra $20 in the collection plate last Sunday.

 

I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other on the footpath. But you didn't see me playing Santa at the local shopping centre.

 

I saw you change your mind about going into the restaurant when you saw my bike parked out front. But you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the bushfire relief.

 

I saw you roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by. But you didn't see me riding behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.

 

I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your children. But you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to do the Christmas Toy Run for under-privileged kids.

 I saw you stare at my long hair. But you didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Be Brave & Shave.

 

I saw you roll your eyes at our Leather jackets and gloves. But you didn't see me and my brothers donate our old ones to those that had none.

 

 

I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But you didn't see me cry as my children where born or have their name written over and in my heart.

I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But you didn't see me going home to be with my family.

I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But you didn't see me when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you yelling at your kids in the car. But you didn't see me pat my child's hands knowing she was safe behind me.

I saw you reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road But you didn't see me squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you race down the road in the rain. But you didn't see me get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.


I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time But you didn't see me trying to turn right.

I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But you didn't see me leave the road.

I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But you didn't see me. I wasn't there.

I saw you go home to your family. But you didn't see me. Because I died that day you cut me off.

I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family.

But you didn't see me!!
