Getting revved for Africa Bike Week
THE biggest free motorcycle event in Africa is coming to town next month and members of the public are invited to register in order to attend the event.
The 10th edition of Africa Bike Week will be hosted in Buffalo City, from Thursday April 26 to Sunday 29.
Over the four days, thousands of motorcyclists from all over the country are expected to attend the event, which has become a must-do annual extravaganza for Harley-Davidson owners and other motorbike enthusiasts.
Hordes of event visitors will get to experience the world of Harley-Davidson and one lucky person will be going home with a brand- new Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy riding the latest model Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
Free demo rides and self-guided tours, including off-road tours, will be on offer to enjoy the outlying areas of East London.
“Visitors will also be able to experience the feeling of riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle on the riding simulator, better known as the Jumpstart,” event administrator Tammy Frayne said.
Entertainment will exceed all previous events and being the 10th anniversary of Africa Bike Week, visitors will get to enjoy new bands and other entertainment.
This will include world- class stunt shows, trial bike shows, cage racing, flight-night motorcycle aerial displays, skills riding, extreme motor cross, BMX and skateboard shows, as well as the traditional mass ride, Custom-Bike Show, tattoo parlour and more.
In the official expo area, the latest model Harley- Davidson bikes will be on display.
Entry is free and members of the public can register online to join the event..
