Transmoto 12-Hour

RIDE AGAINST YOUR MATES...RIDE AGAINST THE CLOCK..JUST RIDE...

The 12-Hour has been rebooted.
We'll see all entrants on APRIL 21/22!

I CAN'T MAKE THE NEW DATE. DO I GET A REFUND?

Yes. For details on getting a refund for the originally scheduled March 3/4 event click here.

I'VE ENTERED AND I WANT MORE INFORMATION. HOW DO I GET IT?

All competitors who have now entered will be receiving a competitor information pack via email approx two weeks before the event.

WHAT SORT OF RIDING CAN I EXPECT?

The course will be a loop of approximately 10km in length. Riders can expect a course very typical of what they might find on a "trail" ride. This includes single track, fire road and grass track sections.

CAN I WIN ANYTHING?

Sure can! We'll have a whole raft of prizes to be given away at the event.

HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO ENTER THE TRANSMOTO 12-HOUR?

Any rider over the age of 16 as of the date of the event can ride the Transmoto 12-Hour.

DOES MY BIKE NEED TO BE REGISTERED?

No. The 12-Hour will be held on private property, so no rego is required. That’s also means MX bikes are welcome.

DO I NEED A MOTORCYCLE LICENSE?

No. The 12-Hour will be held on private property, so no license is required.

DOES EACH RIDER USE HIS OWN BIKE?

Yes. The 12-Hour is about riders, not bikes. If your bike breaks down, you can beg, borrow or steal another riders bike to get your laps done.

DO I NEED AN MA RACE LICENSE OR MA DAY LICENSE THIS YEAR?

Although recreational in nature, the Transmoto 12-Hour is still technically a race and sanctioned by Motorcycling Australia. This means to ride you need MA insurance coverage to make sure you are covered in the event of an accident. This coverage is inclusive in your annual MA race license. If you do not have an MA race license then you need a one event day license to ensure you’re covered.

ARE MA AND MNSW STILL INVOLVED IN THE EVENT THIS YEAR?

Absolutely. The 12-hour track is licensed by MNSW and we also pay MNSW a rider fee for every participant (built into your entry). We'll also be using MNSW's transponders again this year for timing. Back again this year will also be our friends from Nowra Districts Motorcycle Club to help run the 12-hour.

DO WE HAVE TO ALTERNATE LAPS BETWEEN TEAM MEMBERS?

No. You can structure your ride and your team however you like. Maybe you want to get your stint all done in one go so you can sit back and hit the cans, safe in the knowledge all your riding is done. Maybe you prefer to do 2, 3 or 4 lap stints. Maybe one lap is enough before you need a Bex and a lie down. Do it however you like. We don't mind.

CAN I RIDE MORE THAN ONE BIKE?

Sure. Want to bring your vintage bike, or maybe your 50? Feel free to cut a lap on whatever you like.

WHAT RIDING SKILL LEVEL WILL I NEED TO RIDE THE EVENT?

The 12-Hour is designed to be challenging but fun for all levels of riders. Any technical sections will have a “chicken line” for those riders who don’t feel quite up to the task.

IS THERE ANY PRIZE MONEY FOR THE 12-HOUR?

The short answer is no. The Transmoto 12-Hour is a recreational event, and although its technically a race, its about participation, enjoyment and hanging out with your mates. Never fear though, there will be prizes for participants given at random throughout the day. The big tip: if you or your bike stands out, there’s a BIG chance you’ll win a prize.

WHO IS RUNNING THE 12-HOUR?

Transmoto will be partnering with Lyndon Heffernan and his Detour organisation in delivering the 12-Hour. Lyndon has many years of event experience, organising numerous national-level events including multiple A4DE’s, AORC rounds and some of the most epic trail tours ever devised.

WHERE IS THE NEAREST ACCOMODATION?

Batemans Bay and Mogo both have accommodation and are approximately 30 minutes drive from the event.

WHERE IS MY NEAREST FUEL?

Batemans Bay has the nearest high octane unleaded suitable for most bikes.

WHERE IS THE NEAREST BIKE SHOP?

There is one bike shop in Batemans Bay(Paul Davis Bikeworx) were you can pick up parts from. Some spare parts will be available at the event (in case you forget something) but your best bet would be to bring any key spares you may need with you.

WILL THERE BE A MECHANIC AT THE EVENT?

Yes. Teknik Motorsport will have their mobile workshop on hand for the event to keep you running in case you bike goes the way of the Dodo.

WHAT CAMPING FACILITIES WILL THERE BE?

The camping area will have portable toilets but no showers. Power is not available in the camping area

DO I NEED LIGHTS ON MY BIKE?

No. The Transmoto 12-Hour will be all run during daylight.

IS THERE MOBILE COVERAGE?

There is limited mobile coverage in the area, mainly with Telstra.

CAN I USE MY GENERATOR?

Yes, but only between the hours on 8am and 9pm.
