Ten bikes, accompanied by three support crew and two support vehicles, left the Kingaroy Fire Station at 8:00am for the annual charity ride.

The riders, all current or former firefighters, hope to raise $8000 for Movember, a charity which aims to raise awareness of men’s health issues.

They will be raising funds along the way but donations to support the team can also be made online

This is the eighth year that the firies have banded together to raise funds for Movember via the Postie Bike Run.

The group’s first stop over was on Wednesday night at Goondiwindi.

On Thursday, they were heading to Dalby and then on to Cooyar.

The ride is being sponsored by Bundaberg Harley-Davidson, Bundy Moto, McMahon Transport, Westlink Petroleum, Swickers and Kingaroy Quarry Supplies.

The postie bikes are usually 110cc Honda motorbikes
As usual, this fully restored 1960 International, which was used by Kingaroy firefighters until the early 1980s, brought up the rear of the postie bike convoy
