| CIMAA currently has branches in
Victoria and NSW but has members from all over Australia. CIMAA is
dedicated to the needs of owners of older Italian motorcycles and
motorcycles from marques no longer in production or not imported into
Australia. Anyone who owns older Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Laverda, or Vespa
models fall into this category as well as owners of Aermacchi, Benelli,
Bianchi, Bimota, Fantic, Gilera, Lambretta, Maserati, Moto Morini, MV
Agusta, Parilla, and many others.
In all States there is a Club Plate or
Historic Vehicle Registration scheme that allows members of approved
classic and vintage clubs to be issued plates under the rules of their
respective State Government Roads authority. This scheme allows vehicles
to attend published club events and allows limited use of the vehicle
for maintenance purposes. CIMAA currently supports the Club Plate
schemes in NSW and Victoria. In order to comply with the requirements of
the Club Plate Scheme, the vehicle must be over 30 years old in NSW or
over 25 years old in Victoria, and must pass a safety inspection
performed by a CIMAA scrutineer. There is a considerable saving on the
full registration cost.
CIMAA does not keep tools, spare parts
or workshop manuals but has information on where these might be
obtained. Individual members will often help each other out in this area
and spares are bought, sold or swapped. Members also have a collective
bank of technical knowledge and mechanical expertise.
Approximately every two months the
Moto d'Epoca newsletter is published and a hardcopy posted out to
every member. An email version is not currently made available. The
newsletter contains the upcoming events, local Italian motorcycle news,
members articles, Italian food, For Sale/Wanted advertisements and more.
