Polish your chrome and dust off your helmet – 1 April sees the first of the year’s Dream Machines event – sponsored by BLD Group – roar into action.
Organised by Poole Tourism, the largest weekly motorcycle meet in the UK will see Poole Quay buzzing as more than 1000 bikes gather every Tuesday evening from 1 April-30 September. Attended by novices and enthusiasts from across the UK and beyond, during the event Poole Quay is closed off to all traffic, except motorbikes, creating a truly spectacular display for visitors.
The backdrop of the quay and harbour offers the perfect location to show off a superb range of motorbikes in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Stuart Dobson, BLD operations director, said: “Many of those who come are local, but the reputation of Dream Machines has grown so much that enthusiasts from across the UK regularly attend. Having been involved in the event for a couple of years now, we’ve seen everything from custom builds to home restoration projects and iconic designs, so the variety of bikes on display is amazing.”
BLD Dream Machines is a fully marshalled event with a £1 entry charge.
The weekly “Bike of the Night” competition sees different judges pick out their personal favourite each week. All weekly winners will also get invited back to take part in the “Bike of the Year” finale on Tuesday, 30 September.
Dream Machines is a self-funding event and any surplus income after costs have been paid is donated to local charities.
