Hangmore was designed for riders who want more from their motorcycles and from the roads and tracks Track days, road rides, the whole package had to be there.
The Hangmore Motorcycle Club Inc was created by 5 keen sport bike riders in Victoria back in winter 1999. Club Founders at Phillip Island
The organizing group had a deep passion for motorcycling in all it's aspect. Pushing the limits driving the soul. The early days were in fact a bit of a dream, to create a sports bike club where any brand of bike could join, an idea to find others who would sh
are the same vibes, the forever ending search for freedom , exhilaration that comes from riding a sports bike the way it was meant to be ridden. Hangmore was designed for the ones who want more from their motorcycles and from the road or tracks they ride. An idea to also have more people to embellish the experience of safety in numbers and safety before all, riding with a group that cares. Regardless of displacement, anyone who is keen on the aspect of sportsbikes is welcome at Hangmore, the only forbidden thing in the club are Cruisers and Harleys (just coz there are too many of those clubs already). Where did the name come from I hear you ask??? Hangmore Club at Winton Raceway Two of the founding members of the club got it's name from a private joke. You see FredR1 used to get riding tips from JoeyR6 to improve on his exuberances on the Great Ocean Road. Joey always used to say "You're doing great, your getting good drive into the turns and all, but you got to throw your body in the corner a bit more, drop that shoulder and most of all hang more". Those last 2 words were the key of it all and in passing FredR1 once replied "If you ever become a riding instructor Joey you should call your school "Hang More Motorcycle Technique" not unlike the "Stay Upright Motorcycle Technique"
Once Mark 916 had come up with the idea of the sport bike club, the name was an immediate choice....so now you know why. The club is now fully established and it has since '99 grown from nothing to a great entity. The strength of Hangmore is it's members, because at the end of the days you only get out what you put in. The main attraction to the club for many is the easy going atmosphere that gets promoted at all our events, without forgetting safety of course.
