Motorcycle show and tell
THE Cairns Motorcyle Restorers Club is hosting a classic motorcycle show in Cairns in a week’s time at the AMX Motorycle Store on the corner of Mulgrave Rd and Newell St.
Club president Paul Bennett said it was the third time the club and the store had joined forces for the show on Saturday, May 4 from 9am-2pm.
“Last year this show experienced good growth and it is a popular event with local families, especially the kids, and anyone one with interest in older motorcycles and motoring history in general,” he said.
“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.
“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,” Mr Bennett said. It has 70 members from all walks of life. Check out their Facebook page for details.
