It’s time for the 1 000 Bike Show
Come and enjoy a wide array of motorcycles on display.
Motorcycle enthusiasts should diarise June 30 and July 1 as a must-attend event.
The annual 1 000 Bike Show is set to take place at the Germiston City Sports Club, situated in Vimy Ridge Road, Delville.
This will be the second year that the 1 000 Bike Show will be held at this venue after previously having been located at Germiston High School for many years.
The Germiston-based Classic Motorcycle Club’s (CMC) 1 000 Bike Show has grown from humble beginnings as a small display at the Carlton Centre in Johannesburg in 1985 to what is now, arguably, the largest, dedicated classic and custom motorcycle show in Africa.
Chief organiser and club chairperson Rusty Thorns said he expects more than 400 motorcycles to be on show, while there are always a host of interesting models ridden to the show by visitors which can be viewed in the parking area.
Triumph, which is currently being re-established in South Africa as a standalone company under a new distributor, will once again have a prominent stand of old and new models.
Brad Anassis is displaying his track and drag racing teams and the Suzuki Katana Club members will display more than 20 of these iconic machines.
There will be more than 100 trade stalls with many of them offering food and drinks, while the popular Backbone band will provide entertainment.
Concours d’Elegance competitions for custom motorcycles (Saturday) and the classics (Sunday) will take place, with winners being announced at 2pm on the Sunday.
