Macquarie Show Day

Macquarie Towns Show day • 8 September, 2019 – Windsor, NSW

After a couple of lean years, the Macquarie Towns Club Show day bounced back better than ever for 2019, with an entry of 144 bikes, including 118 from the host club’s members. Organiser Jason Stone and his helpers did a wonderful job to drum up interest not just from their own club, but elsewhere, with a strong line up of visitors’ bikes entered. The weather certainly could not have been better; the picturesque Macquarie Park on the banks of the Hawkesbury River opposite the historic town of Windsor looking lush and green as the bikes began arriving from 8am. Although the earlier categories were a little thin, the line-up of ‘sixties, seventies and eighties bikes was extremely healthy, making a difficult task for judges in determining the awards.

Peter Boros with his very original 1956 Velocette Scrambler. Adam Cowie took out second prize in the Visitors’ section for his 1928 350cc Indian. Club Treasurer Clyde Ikin’s recently complete CB750K1 won the 1971-81 section.

1st prize in the Visitors’ section: Bendeich Michael’s 1921 150cc Waratah. Top tiddler: Paul Barber’s 49cc Moto Guzzi. Steve Runnalls’ 1965 BSA A65R Rocket. Peter Brown’s 1913 575cc Harley makes an impressive entrance.
