Have You Seen Gus?
A community road safety campaign to help everyone see motorcyclists
Have You Seen GUS? (Gear Up Safely) is a fun, meaningful, community-driven motorcycle awareness campaign designed to help drivers and the wider public notice motorcyclists sooner, especially at intersections, merges in busy traffic, and on country roads.
When more people actively look for motorcycles, we can help reduce motorcycle crashes, incidents, and fatalities. Just as importantly, we can reduce the ripple effect on the wider community—the trauma and impact experienced by people who witness a crash, arrive first on scene, or are involved in the aftermath.
This campaign is for everyone:
- Drivers and passengers
- Families and kids
- Local businesses
- Riders and riding groups
- Anyone who wants safer roads and a stronger community
How It Works
GUS Riders Wear the Gear
GUS riders wear high-visibility "Have You Seen GUS?" gear while riding.
Community Keeps an Eye Out
Community members keep an eye out for GUS on the roads.
Log a Sighting, Win Prizes
When you spot GUS, you can log a sighting to go into the draw to win prizes.
Safety First
If you want to take a photo, only do it when it is safe and legal.
- Never take photos while driving.
- If you're behind the wheel, make a note of the location/time and upload later.
Win Prizes by Spotting GUS
When you see GUS, you can:
- Snap a photo (optional) when safe, and
- Upload your sighting to enter prize draws.
Prizes from the Community
Prizes are supplied by local businesses and supporters who want to back motorcycle safety and community wellbeing.
Why This Matters
"A common factor in serious motorcycle crashes is simple: 'Sorry mate, I didn't see you.'"
Have You Seen GUS helps train the brain to expect motorcycles, so drivers check mirrors and blind spots properly, look twice at intersections, and make safer decisions around riders.
When we reduce motorcycle incidents, we also reduce the impact on:
- families and friends
- emergency services
- bystanders and witnesses
- local communities
