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<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

January 31, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
