Come & Try Junior Bike Racing

20141130 Come & Try Day — FLASHBACK: Aiden Gash, 6, from Kingaroy, took part in one of the Junior Motorcycle Speedway Club’s first Come & Try days in 2014; since then, the club has created its own permanent race track at the Kingaroy Showgrounds

January 31, 2017

Boys and girls who’d like to see what motorcycle riding is like as a sport and being invited to come to Kingaroy Showgrounds on Sunday morning, February 5.

The Kingaroy Junior Motorcycle Speedway Club will be holding a free Come & Try Day at their track inside the main ring of Kingaroy Showgrounds as part of a national promotion for motorcycle racing.

The event will run from 8:30am to 1:00pm and will be led by an experienced team of officials and volunteers in a safe and controlled environment.

Participants will have the chance to slide around a fully fenced oval circuit with no brakes, no gears and very little suspension, and discover why more than 7000 Queenslanders – and more than 25,000 Australians – participate in motorcycle sport.

In addition, any participant heading to the Come & Try will be eligible to claim a free Recreational Motorcycling Australia Licence (valued at $130) just for participating.

The licence lasts for 12 months, and insures riders for participating in the sport, offering them more access to motorcycle venues, events and resources.

Riders wanting to participate in the Come & Try Day should bring their own bike, boots, helmet, gloves, goggles, long pants and a long sleeved shirt.

The club also has 2 x 50cc Peewee bikes and some gear, along with a 125cc slider, for anyone who doesn’t have a bike.
