Following the success of last year’s Motorcycle Ride Week, a consortium of Adelaide motorcycle clubs are organising a wonderful week of motorcycling. Attractions include:
- A motorcycle only Swap Meet.
- A display of veteran & vintage bikes by The Murray River at Mannum including two rides for small and larger capacity machines.
- 7 organised rides in the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley, Southern Vales and more.
- Track day at the Mallala Motor Sport Park, arranged in conjunction with the Historic Motor Cycle Racing Register, SA.
We hope to attract all motorcyclists in South Australia for the week’s rides & events, and would like to particularly encourage those who wish to experience the thrills of the track, by participating in the Mallala track day experience.
