Poole Dream Machines Bike of the Night Winner 22 May 2018
23rd May 2018
A warm Summer evening on Poole Quay saw the largest gathering of motorcycles this year enjoying the Poole Dream Machines motorcycle event with more than 800 on show.
The popular weekly event, sponsored by Dutton Gregory Solicitors, is organised and managed by the Poole & Bournemouth Tourism office and part of Poole’s Wave 105 Summertime in the South events programme.
The event sees the largest weekly motorcycle meet in the South taking place every Tuesday evening from 6pm, April – September. From the latest superbikes and custom builds to vintage classics and trikes, Poole Quay and Harbour offer the perfect location to show off a superb range of motorbikes where bikers and spectators enjoy a unique relaxed atmosphere. And with a great selection of waterside cafes, bars, restaurants and food kiosks to enjoy during the event, it is the perfect place to relax and have a bite to eat.
Congratulations to Tony Samways from Blandford who won the weekly ‘Bike of the Night’ title with his Gold Yamaha 250. Tony said: “ I originally owned one of these in 1972. I’d been looking for one for some time and when I spotted this one just had to have it.” He rode home with the special prize of bike cleaning kit courtesy of Muc-Off Ltd.
Judge for the evening was Dave Walters from Rockley Park who said; “This is true classic bike – never been restored and in mint condition with only 10,000 miles on the clock.”
For avid bikers, a limited stock of season armbands from the Poole Tourist Information Centre within Poole Museum, or available from Quayside Emporium, the Lord Nelson or the Fish and Chip kiosk. Armbands give access to the whole season for just £8. Alternatively, riders can pay £1 per bike on the evening.
