Hundreds of motorbikes “headed out on the highway” – the Bunya Highway, that is – on Sunday morning for a special Motorbike Festival.
The rally and swap meet was organised by Col Rogerson and his wife Yvonka at the family’s SB-MRT motorcycle rider training complex just outside Kingaroy.
Col is a former international speedway racer and his love of bikes runs right through his family.
His son Simon raced off-roads and enduros for a number of years, and now grandson Cordell, 10, is racing in junior speedway events.
The festival included industry displays, a show’n’shine competition and swap sites.
There was everything from veteran one cylinders to the latest trikes, from Hondas to Harleys.
Local trophy winners included Col McBride, Libby Bateman, Joe Thorpe, John Miller and Brad Sellick.
There were also demonstrations of speedway riding by Cordell Rogerson and Tyson Snow on a mini training track on site.
