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.
