Classic motorcycle show will intrigue both young and old
THE Cairns Motorcycle Restorers Club and the local AMX Motorcycle Accessory Store on the corner of Mulgrave Road and Newell Street, across the road from DFO shopping centre, is inviting families, children and anyone interested in older motorcycles and motoring history to their annual show.
The event is on Saturday, May 3, from 9.30am.
Club president Paul Bennett said the classic motorcycle show was their third annual event and growing each year.
“The motorcycles on display range from the 1930s through to the early 1980s and there will be many other bikes around the store right through to current bikes,” he said.
“The manufacturers are as varied as the years with English, European, Japan and US, including BMW, Ducati, Triumph and Norton, Royal Enfield, Harley Davidson, Indian plus Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, Yamahas and many others.
“There will be a coffee van in the parking area, members of the restorers club to talk to and naturally the AMX motorcycle store to wander through and their very helpful staff to chat with as well as Shannons Insurance.”
The club was formed in 1979 and is a community of motorcycle enthusiasts dedicated to the restoration, preservation, riding and display of vintage motorcycles.
“Today, our members share the passion of older motorcycles and own many, but also share the interest of current bikes and enjoy riding both old and new,” he said.
“Everyone is welcome from around 9.30am until around 1pm.”
The club has 70 members from all walks of life.
