150 motorcycles – “it doesn’t matter where you sit, you are part of something great”.
For REBEL FM presenter Ashley Palmero, It’s been a seven year commitment.
“It’s an impressive spectacle – It’s a 1.5 to 2km trail of motorcycles – with a total value of three million dollars worth of machinery to help raise funds for various causes”.
He says there’s a huge amount of preparation for each year’s event.
“There’s a 12 month lead in to sort out the route for the riders and to execute the ride with safety
“The Scenic Rim was the ideal choice as part of the journey because it allowed the riders to go through terrain they’ve never seen before.
“Over the past 7 years, the ride has gotten bigger and better with the event expanding with more riders and greater marketing”
“And you learn a lot from others in the ride – One rider talked about how his father passed away from prostate cancer. The fact that he talked about his loss is a prime example of the power of communication with these events”.
