MOTORCYCLE APPRENTICE OF THE YEAR (MAOTY) AWARD for 2012

Ulysses Club Inc. is the largest motorcycling organisation within Australia and has once again hosted the National “Motorcycle Apprentice of the Year” (MAOTY) Award as a means of promoting and enhancing the motorcycle training environment within Australia.
The seed to implement MAOTY was sown in April 2003 where Founding Member Stephen Dearnley saw that there was a need to “encourage and promote the youth in pursuing a career in the motorcycle industry”; this would also instil confidence that the highest standard of training is accessible to our members, ensuring that the mechanical maintenance of their motorcycles are in capable hands.
