ON YOUR BIKES! GET SET. GO

Bikes of all shapes and sizes (even lawnmowers) will be welcome at Bike Fest Oz 2023.

America has Daytona Bike Week and Sturgis, England has the Isle of Man, and most other developed countries have major annual motorcycle festivals that offer two-wheeled enthusiasts the opportunity to celebrate their passion for life in the saddle. But apart from the Australian Motorcycle MotoGP at Phillip Island, and some other relatively minor local events based around bike shows, annual club gatherings and race meetings, Australia – and New Zealand — have nothing to equal Daytona, Sturgis or the Isle of Man. These events, individually and collectively, attract millions of paying visitors from around the world every year, and a couple have celebrated more than 80 years of continuous existence.

But all that is about to change. A group of very prominent motorcyclists, entrepreneurs, promotors and motorcycle journalists have come together to launch what they aim to be an iconic landmark event intended to celebrate and showcase the wonderful and diverse world of motorcycling. Launching in mid-June, 2023, Bike Fest Oz! will, in part, be a celebration of Harley-Davidson’s 120th birthday party, and will be linked to similar celebrations planned for Milwaukee, USA. And what’s more, if all goes according to plan Bike Fest Oz! will win itself a permanent spot on the Australasian motorcycle calendar.

“While the inaugural Bike Fest Oz! will, in part, celebrate Harley-Davidson’s incredible milestone, this event is intended to showcase everything from Vespas to Vincents, Harleys to Hondas and will really be a celebration of all things motorcycling,” said the organisers in a joint statement. “And we aim to have a few surprise guests and celebrities put in appearances on their bikes over the 3-4 days of the event.”

Centred on the Tweed, NSW coast, the event will take in the whole of the coastline, all the way from Byron Bay up into the Gold Coast in Queensland, with various events, including classic and custom bike shows, organized tours and poker runs, a stunt spectacular and a major party, with a headline band, on the Sunday night linked directly to Harley-Davidson’s celebration in the USA.

Stay tuned to our website and Facebook page for more updates as this exciting event, that will embrace motorcycling in all its forms and disciplines, takes shape over coming months.
