🏍️ Damien Codognotto – Spokesperson for the Motorcycle Riders Association, Damien talks about the organisation’s role in promoting rider safety, reducing accident rates, and lobbying for the rights and wellbeing of motorcycle riders across Australia.

🎙️ This episode offers powerful stories, hard-earned wisdom, and practical advocacy — all from voices that live what they speak.
