The Classic Motorcycle Club’s annual 1000 Bike Show has for many years been a fixture on the motorcycling calendar, bringing motorcycle enthusiasts from all walks of life together for a weekend of celebration of not only our history but also our present and future.
Various venues have played host to the show over the years but, for 2024, the club has struck a new note and Greenstone Shopping Mall in Edenvale will be the venue.
Taking place over the weekend of 31st August/1st September, the event will be held under cover in the Level 2 upper parking facilities and adds a new dimension in terms of space and visitor’s parking, whether on a motorcycle or in a car. It’s a really new direction for the show but the organisers are confident that it will bring a breath of fresh air to the event and solidify its viability for the future.
The format of the show remains unchanged, being family-friendly and with 100s of classic motorcycles on display, as well as motorcycle lifestyle exhibitions and venires, plenty of good food and drink and live entertainment.
Apart from the 15-plus marques on display, the organisers are additionally introducing three new categories to the event:
1. ”Thumper” specific concourse which is defined as a 400cc (or bigger) single-cylinder air-cooled motorcycle.
2. Military bike display where they showcase armed forces motorcycles.
3. Historic Racing motorcycles, including AJS 7R, Greeves Oulton, Bultaco TSS 250 and Vincent Grey Flash
Whatever your thoughts about the new venue, we all have to support the 1000 Bike Show if it is to continue into the future. Nothing is set in stone as far as the venue is concerned but we can guarantee it will still be a spectacular display of vintage and classic bikes, nicely topped off with good food and drinks and the chance of meeting up with old friends and making some new ones.
