After missing previous shows, I was pleased to attend this great event in the South East of South Australia.
The Mount Gambier Classic and Vintage Motorcycle Show began in 2014 and exhibits were pre 1985 motorcycles.
The organisers donate all proceeds to the Cancer Council and they raised $3,332 this year. The event was over two days at the end of July and was only $5 entry per person and U14 free.
The 2022 Classic and Vintage Motorcycle Show was held in Mount Gambier’s City Hall and by the number of helmets and leather around town I reckon it was well attended.
On display were dirt bikes, race bikes, immaculate resto’s and some dusty old finds from the back of the neighbours shed.
It’s a credit to the organisers and a great event for older members of the community.
I took dad along and he reminisced about when he came off his AJS 350 in the late fifties and broke his pelvis . He hit a short post hidden in grass next to the drain on a bridge with no rails near Hatherleigh. Onlookers said he did two somersaults in the air, but didn’t damage the bike.
My first bike was a Honda 70, my second bike was an RM 80 and my third bike was a 1000cc 1979 Shovel. I was grateful on many occasions on my Harley for my early years on the dirt bikes on the farm.
I voted for No 48 for Peoples Choice, the K11 Suzuki and a few others must have too as it won. Well done to the owners, what a magnificent restoration.
