Track Activities
Utilising one of the best road circuits in the world, we'll be holding a number of track-based activities across the Saturday of the event. 15 dealers will duke it out in a battle royale for a Bagger Race showdown. Unlike the US-version, our dealers will be racing each other on mildly-modified ST versions of both the Road Glide and Street Glide, which make for some ultra-close, board-scrapin' racing.
While we do have a route planned for the Thunder Run that takes us external to The Bend's facilities, we'll be kicking off with all bikes parked along the length of the start/finish straight, before taking off for a single lap around the circuit and then hitting the road… think how cool it's going to be to have thousands of bike in convoy around the track… what a sight!
There will be both open and private track sessions, pending on the level of ticket you've purchased. The Gold packages will be privy to a closed track session that gives them the track with very limited people, while the open sessions will be, well, open, so you'll be experience the flowing curves of The Bend’s international circuit with a bunch of your friends.
Show'n'Shine
We'll be leaning into the 120th Anniversary and asking people to take part in the regular show'n'shine categories, but also have decade-based categories where we want you to show off some of your older gems. We know there's some gold hiding in sheds out there, now's your time to bring them out and show them off!
Chapter Games
They're a highlight of any rally, but the chapter games this year will come with a 120th theme. We'll drag out some of the classics, while looking into the future too. Get your best ready to take the test – which chapter will come out triumphant and take home the trophy?
Guided Rides
Our two South Australian chapters will curate a number of rides that showcase the beautiful region we're a guest of. With everything from long, open roads with nothing around, to river rolls and picturesque farms, we're in for a real treat one all of the guided rides.
Saturday Night Concert
Wouldn't be a celebration without a party, right? We'll blow the pipes off the place on Saturday night on the main-stage with numerous live music acts – stay tuned for the line-up announcement as we get closer to the event.
Go-Karting
Yep, there's two more wheels than you need for a good time, but with an on-site public go-kart track, what better way to challenge your mates or other chapters in the true spirit of motorsport… Rubbin' (safely) is racing!
Tech Talks
Harley-Davidson Australia will have some of it's tech guru’s on-site for interactive seminars on everything from the latest tech and how to get the most from it, to bike set-up and general maintenance. Everything to keep you rolling as best as you can.
Bike Wash and Servicing
There'll be an on-site bike-wash service where one of Harley-Davidson Australia's caring staff will bath your bike while you watch from the sidelines. Yep, talk about giving back! We also know that a lot of you will be logging big kilometres to get to the event, so we'll be offering on-site servicing from our qualified dealer network.
