Monday 12th May.
Well the hordes of thundering bikes started to roll into the showgrounds from around 7:15am this morning. A sea of tents quickly sprang up within the designated camping area.
The onsite takeaway foods outlets, merchandise and general motorbike related bits and pieces stalls also are now in full swing to cater to the needs of some 2,400 bikers.
IGA have setup a very well stocked supermarket within one of the pavilions, selling everything from tooth paste to camping gear and the obligatory cases of beer, wine and spirits, which cannot be purchased until after 2:00pm. This is a Northern Territory law.
The mood of all attendees is generally exceptional as we all have one thing in common. The love of riding and enjoying time with friends with a common interest. Consequently there are rarely problems. With the exception of Harley Davidson, the motorcycle traders are yet to arrive with demo bikes and gear for sale.
