Its painful to hear how much of a bad rep offroad riders get sometimes, to me its just another sport that gets me out into the truely awesome Aussie bush.
Sorry to hear how those hoon idiots screwed up the last meet at the Camels Hump. Unfortunately (as we've already established in this thread), humanity is liberally seeded with dickheads who struggle to respect others. If i'd been there, i would've considered stringing up the trusty Sterling and clothes-lining the bastards ;p
Seriously though, there are groups, like AMTRA , that are working to keep trail riding a sustainable and legitimate sport, as well as working with other user groups to make sure everyones concerns are known.

As far as motorcycle friendly destinations go M9, there should be plenty. Cathedral Ranges is definitely one. Mount Beckworth near Ballarat would be good. Cape Woolamai or Wilsons Prom could be fun too. Just looking through the East Vic VCC guide gives me heaps of ideas...
Depending on group size we might need a support vehicle to carry all the climbing gear, but I reckon brat's sweet lookin' ride would be a good start....:)
