About Us

The Dr Wings Bike Force was created to assist the M.A.R.I Team and service the need to better support Motorcyclists that have had an accident .By way of the M.A.R.I initiative and guidance from all the hospital staff we assist at the request of the injured rider or a family member.

The DR Wings Bike Force is a group of volunteer enthusiast riders and passengers that have banded together to make a difference for all motorcyclists.

Glenda and I became involved with MARI at St Vincent's Hospital, at the request of Warren Buffett and Guy Stanford, both none identities in the Australian motorcycling scene. MARI is all about "Riders Caring for Riders" Beyond Medicine. No matter if they are laid up in Hospital or at home we will try and help them out. For more info on MARI and the work that they do, all Motorcycle Club Welfare officers should be involved, or at least know about what we do to help their mates if the need occurs now.

Below are members from, Pagewood Eastern Suburbs, Central Coast and Western Suburbs of Sydney.

for the past 7 years M.A.R.I ( The Motor Cycle Accident Rehabilitation Initiative )

at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney. This helps those Motorcyclists that are in the immediate catchments of St Vincent's area of Sydney.

At St Vincent's Hospital the staff have been driven by A/Prof Dr Steven Faux – Rehabilitation Medicine. Dr Faux has spent many years gathering and checking information about Motorcycle accident victims. This enables him to put together a quick response towards a rider or passengers speedy recovery.

This recovery starts in the Hospital wards and continues at their home. A Dr Wings Bike Force Volunteer will keep in contact with a patient until he or she has no further need for our help.

The driving forces behind the team are Warren Buffett, Glenda & Ken Lovegrove who are passionate towards getting as many volunteers involved with MARI initiative as possible.

We endeavor to travel around the country, telling all that will listen about MARI initiative and the work done by the Dr Wings Team. And all the ways they can get involved and help to make a difference for all Motorcyclists.

The M.A.R.I Initiative has now been in existence now for over ten years. Work within Hospitals such as St Vincent’s done by the Dr Wings Bike Force and Hospital staff members has been speeding up the recovery of Motorcycle Accident patients. This has been by way of physical and well as mental health areas.

The initiative is assisting riders and family members across most of Australia, but is very strong down the East Coast from Townsville to Melbourne. Head office for M.A.R.I and the Dr Wing Bike Fore is located on the Central Coast NSW

Along with visitation in hospital we offer the patients reading literature such as Motorcycle Magazines.

The list is growing daily and we expect many more to be available in the near future. This will assist us greatly, to be able to supply a patient with a magazine that they normally read in their every day life.
