The expo will be held at Gloucester Showground on May 2 and 3 and will again feature a vintage motocross grass track event in the main ring.

Heaven VMX Club will provide the entertainment for spectators as vintage bikes from all eras do battle on a specially constructed track.

Organiser Sam de Witte from Gloucester Rotary said the event continued to attract greater numbers of visitors each year.

“Gloucester’s always been popular with motorcycle tourists and we wanted to capitalise on that. That’s really how it all began,” he said.

“In addition to that there are quite a few Rotary members that own bikes and ride.”

Mr de Witte said the expo had become particularly popular with older riders and Ulysses clubs, as well families.

Free camping is available on both Friday and Saturday nights, with visitors welcome to come for the day or the weekend. 

Trade displays from all the leading motorcycle manufacturers as well as gear and accessory stalls will be spread around the showground, while bike enthusiasts will have plenty to whet their appetites with a massive show ‘n’ shine display.

There are full bar and hot food facilities available and live music. 

Gates open at 9am Saturday for visitors and the cost is $20, while children under 16 are free of charge. 

All monies raised go to Rotary causes such as the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and the Men’s Shed.
