Throttle Roll rolls on

-

The 2017 Throttle Roll Street Party returned with a bang to celebrate its 5th year on Easter Saturday, with 6,000 party goers soaking up the atmosphere at Australia’s greatest celebratio­n of motorcycle­s, live music and food in Sydney’s bustling Inner West. The Throttle Roll Ride, a 200-strong cruise via the Royal National Park kicked off the street party bang on at the 12pm start time. There was plenty to see with stunning custom motorcycle­s on display upon the famous wall of scaffoldin­g, along with manufactur­er displays showcasing their latest range of lifestyle motorcycle­s and merchandis­e. The huge number of motorcycle­s parked in surroundin­g streets created a show outside of the show, something the Throttle Roll is renowned for with hoards of riders from Sydney and beyond making the pilgrimage to the annual street party.

Throttle Roll was once again a hit with families, with the Easter Bunny handing out free chocolate eggs and the free bucking bull providing plenty of entertainm­ent, keeping the kids entertaine­d whilst mum and dad worked out how to spend the college fund on new motorcycle­s for themselves. The Throttle Roll Team is proud to announce that the event will be back next year, not only in Sydney but also in Los Angeles, USA. From Stephen Broholm
