New for 2019

We have recently purchased this Mercedez VITO Van. Its a one owner with only 30,000 K's on the speedo.

It was offered to from a deceased estate. We have had it serviced and checked over, so we can sell it of to a needy family, savingthem thousands.

.

It has many features like, Push button rear door opening,

An electric drivers seat that will move back and forward as well as up and down and will swivel.

Making it easy for a disabled driver to move from a wheel chair to the drivers seat.

It has a rear entry chair lift that is operated from a remote on the cars keys.

The chair lift has automatic wheel chocks, that fold down to become ramps when the lift touches the ground

It is set up with hand controls and well as for able bady drivers to.

The vehicle is a very comfortable 4 seater or 5 if the disabled party is still in their chair.

 Its a 5 door van with fold up rear seats that are easy to operate.

More photos are available on request. POA for interested parties.

On the 1st of August 2018  we had a new addition in our support arsenal  from the USA.

Its from a manufacturer that makes altered bits for your bike, so you can keep riding after an accident and need specialist help from Disability Motorcycle Aids.

Below is a tribute to a great Motorcyclist and Friend to many.

He gave of his own while he was alive, and when he passed,

all he wanted in the world was to help others; on their way after an accident or illness. Motorcyclists support each other. M.A.R.I Australia Incorporated largest

contributor to date. This man is truly a hard act to follow, "Ride on Mate".

The Gentlemen above is very special to so many. As a true enthusiast, you would have to say he was a lifer. As it says "Mick" to his mates was born in 1956, a 'Bloody Good Year' for all motorcyclists and motorcycles in general. Some legend models are posted below, along with some of Mick's own bikes and his story.

	In 1956 B.S.A.  better known as Birmingham Small Arms Company, manufactured the 650cc Gold Flash Twin. Motorcycles
	The 1956 Royal Enfield, 700cc was released as a trail blazer onto the USA market, by the Indian Manufacturing Company.
	In 1956 the Vincent Black Shadow was born, the Super Bike of the time.
In 1956 Mrs McDonald was having a 'New Release' with the Birth of Michael on the 28th November. Mick was the oldest of 4 children, three boys and a sister. All grew up in the Sydney Western Suburbs. Most of Michael's life, he was interested in engines, motorcycles in particular. He was also a car buff. He would buy a car,tear it down, and rebuild it up from the ground up,the way he wanted it to be. Back in the Seventies Michael was into racing Dirt Bikes and was pretty good at it racing all over NSW. At that time he was also working for Jim Airey at his Honda shop in Fairfield NSW. Jim Airey himself was an Australian champ on Short Circuit, Speedway as well as Enduro Racing. Mick thought he was a great role model. As he matured and got older, as we all do, Mick got into racing on tar, in particular, drag racing.
	Mick loved his bikes, Honda "V" VFR Twins but his YAMAHA's were special too. He had several TRX Models all with his own personal stamp on them. Mick's race career ranged from Sydney Dragway, across Australia to Perth. He was well known to many in the sport.     Mick is pictured along side with some of his collection. This photo was taken at home. The Red TRX he is sitting on was his favorite racer. His street bike on his right and his Turbo Charged Kawasaki 1200 cc to his left.
	Michael hard at work at Sydney International Drag Way riding Rexy Two. Like his car and other bikes he owned, he pulled this bike down as well, and, built it back up again- bigger and better than before.
	Along side is an exert from the Race program at Perth Raceway 24/11/2016 You can see that he was pulling 9.657 seconds in the quarter mile, a top speed of 235.50 KPH
	On the 13/01/2007 he was hard back at it again with a run of 9,540 and a Top Speed of 235.12 KPH
	Michael cared about life, like he did his bikes.The way you are seen by others meant a lot to him. He was a perfectionist,in everything he did.It had to be just right for Mick. He was a firm believer that you get out of life what you put into it- words that we all can live by.
The final Weapon in his arsenal was the bike above, His beloved KAWASAKI 1200, This was truly a Super Bike and he built it with his own hands.  Michael McDonald You will surely be missed by many; but not forgotten. Because of your generous donation M.A.R.I will ride on into the future. A HUGE THANK YOU to his brother who carried out his wishes!

one of the newest additions to what we offer in our support network

The RSPCA. Its a good idea to look into respite for pets when you are going into hospital and have no one to care for them. It works like this if you are over 65 years of age it will cost you $10.00 a day plus vet fees.

        If younger than 65 years its still $10.00 a day with vet fees plus your pet will need to be de-sexed as well. This can cost from $200.00 up wards for this service.

     Only available when to local RSPCA has room to take the pet. In some areas they have a foster care programme happening where a volunteer will take your pet into their home and you only pay for the feed. Or they will feed and care for the pet at their own home when possible to do so. This service is available Mon to Fri on 02 9782 4408

What about the use of one of our support vehicles.

                  The offer below is ideal when you are involved in an accident that was not your fault.

This will enable you to get to work or doctors appointments or maybe just to be able to get the shopping done for a while.  So have a read and see if you fit the bill.

Our support network vehicle supplier can act fast so you or your partner are mobile again with as less fuss as possible to you both. We will deliver the vehicle to your door. Call us as soon as possible after the accident has occurred.
