Riders converge in Sydney’s Inner West for the 2017 Throttle Roll Street Party

Taking It To The Street

If you ever wanted to understand what the rising cafe-and-custom movement is all about, your best bet is to immerse yourself in just about any event organised by the team at Throttle Roll. Their biggest event, the Throttle Roll Street Party, was recently held in a blocked-off street just a few clicks south-west of Sydney.

Though the bikes remain the centre of attention, it’s not just about them. The art, the people, the sound and the fashion are loudly represented. Chuck a steady stream of cold beer and live music in there and it’s little wonder that riders flock from across the country to attend the event.

When it comes to bike luggage, my preference is usually a set of soft saddle bags; you can throw them on and off easily, and they make sense whether you’re packing for a day trip or a months-long adventure.

Keeping Girls On Motorcycles

On any given weekend at your local motorcycle club, you will see throngs of kids blasting around on dirt bikes having a great time. More often than not, it’s at these local club tracks where kids are introduced to motorbikes. Boys and girls (under 10 years old) get out there and simply enjoy riding their bike without too much competition. Not many of the kids or parents care where they finish in the pack — it’s just about having fun.
