Kerrie Bantoft and Lynnsay Fryer have opened the South Burnett’s most unusual motorcycle store in Wooroolin – part secondhand shop, part gift shop and part motorcycle tour headquarters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

July 11, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a new business opened its doors in Wooroolin on July 1, owners Kerrie Bantoft and Lynnsay Fryer decided the best way to launch it was with a motorcycle tour, followed by a parade.<\/p>\n

So they gathered two dozen friends who shared their passion for motorcycling and took a ride to the Hivesville Hotel for lunch.<\/p>\n

Then they returned to Wooroolin’s Grand Hotel where they were joined by a leather-jacketed Cr Ros Heit, who’d been invited along to conduct the official opening.<\/p>\n

Soon afterwards the parade roared into life, crossing the town’s overnight parking area to the delight of curious caravanners, then executing a u-turn to travel back along the highway to Kerrie B’s Motor Bikery for a ribbon cutting ceremony and afternoon tea.<\/p>\n

Kerrie, 61, has been a member of the Ulysses motor cycling club for many years and enjoys nothing more than riding motorcycles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When her husband passed away three years ago, though, she soon became bored with routine.<\/p>\n

The concept for the Bikery emerged when she discussed the idea with Lynnsay, who was toying with the idea of running guided motorcycle tours in the region.<\/p>\n

Kerrie said the new store aims to fill in gaps not covered by other South Burnett motorcycle businesses.<\/p>\n

“We want to add to what’s on offer, not compete with anyone,” Kerrie said.<\/p>\n

In keeping with this aim, the Bikery sells an eclectic mix of new and pre-loved motorcycle accessories, apparel, jackets, helmets and face masks.<\/p>\n

It also offers exclusive giftware lines, bling and jewellery made by local craft workers, and has a small art gallery in one of the shop’s rooms that sells Lynnsay’s paintings, and may feature the works of other local artists in future.<\/p>\n

Kerrie also sells pre-loved motorcycles for friends, and offers custom vinyl cutting too.<\/p>\n

Lynnsay, meanwhile, operates the Bikery’s other service – Big Bike Tours, which offers guided road and trail bike tours around the region. <\/strong><\/p>\n

And for the benefit of visitors who may not have a motorcycle of their own, Big Bike Tours also has two sidecars to take non-motorcyclists on bike-powered drives through the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

The Bikery also has a small stage replete with musical instruments and a sound system, and Lynnsay hopes the shop will offer music afternoons from time to time featuring local performers.<\/p>\n

Kerrie B’s Bikery is open 9:00am to 5:00pm Wednesdays to Fridays, and 8:00am to 5:00pm on weekends, and some of its stock can be seen on Facebook<\/b><\/a> or the Bikery’s website<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kerrie can be contacted at the Bikery on (07) 4164-2082, and Lynnsay is happy to discuss personalised bike tours on 0428-960-480.<\/p>\n
