Motorcycle Ride Week

The event originally conceived as The Festival of Motorcycling 2020, has had to be restructured due to the COVID-19 restrictions, which stops us holding all indoor activities. We hope to resurrect the original concept around the same time in 2021.  

Instead, Motorcycle Ride Week 2020 has been conceived –  Six days of riding around some of the premier areas of the Fleurieu peninsula, a display of veteran & vintage bikes by The Murray and a motorcycle only Swap Meet. The week is crowned by a 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, either by competing or just spectating at Mallala at the end of the week.
