2012 BMOA All Bike Show

[Aussie_T100]

The British Motorcycle Owners Association of Mackay Inc. recently held their annual All Bike Show, this being the 29th consecutive year the show has been run. You can see all of the bike porn here:-

This show was our most successful show in the 29 years it has been running and with next year being the 30th anniversary of the show we are planning to put on a real "show stopper".

If you want to know more about the BMOA you can visit our web site here:-

Or read our bi-monthly newsletter the Tappet Rattle here:-

I'm the editor of the newsletter and I'm also responsible for the maintenance of our web site as well as our other on-line pages such as our Vimeo and Photobucket pages plus I'm on the All Bike Show committee that organises the show each year. All of this keeps me pretty busy, as you can imagine, and leaves me a little less time for riding but it's great to be part of such a strong and active club.

I hope you all enjoy having a look around at our activities.

That is a pretty darn impressive collection of bikes. Is this a permanent collection, or are all just there for the show?

Thanks, we've already started planning for the 30th anniversary event which we are hoping will be one to remember. Our main problem is that we have pretty much outgrown the venue we've been using for the last several years and we've so far been unable to find a larger venue at a reasonable price.

No it's not a permanent collection it's just a random collection that comes together for the show. The range of bikes that turn up for the show never ceases to amaze me but we do pull them in from all over the state and this year we had one or two from out of state as well. We just advertise the show as widely as we can and send invitations to other clubs to come and show their bikes so what ever turns up turns up. If you are interested you can see slideshows of past years of the show here:-

Glad you enjoyed it Lake. Here's something else you will probably enjoy, the Annual Laverda Concours held in Brisbane the capital city of our state of Queensand. It kinda puts our little show to shame but then they have a larger population base to draw upon.

Plenty to drool over there. ;D

Stunning bikes, and greta photos. What a fantastic mix, I particularly liked the Ducatis and the Vincents, and the Honda 750, the Katana....
